totally agree with that danM88 said it best - draft table experience IS painful when you have to choose between upside and floor, but we can't just get rid of the "problem" by tanking!
2026 Draft (Buffalo, Jun 26-27): Wings have NO 1st, first pick ~#47. Now what?

Let's get the draft thread going before the Larkin chaos eats the whole board. Reminder of the cold reality: we have NO first-round pick this year (it went to St. Louis in the Faulk deal), so our first selection is currently projected around #47 in the early second round. Draft is in Buffalo, June 26-27. Biggest organizational need remains down the middle: we are thin at center in the pipeline behind Kasper. So: who's realistically there at 47, and do you trade up? I'll start dropping names below.

I agree with DetroitTom regarding our history of trading away valuable assets for short-term rentals - that strategy has contributed significantly to our pick volatility and isn't a sustainable way to build a contender in the long run. @mike_d22's comment about cap math being the solution oversimplifies a complex issue, but it does highlight the importance of strategic roster management.
agreed 🙌 our rental obsession 🔥is a pick-killing disease 😷
