Obviously never heard from really in the league while Gilbert became a star. 2nd round picks are a total crapshoot.

Hoping to strike it rich with late draft picks will leave you poorer in the end. I would use those later picks for young overseas talent you can then stash overseas for a couple of years. I would also look for "role" players who do one or two things very well instead of drafting a "fallen" draft talent or potential project. It's fun though dreaming that your 31st pick will be a "steal" in a couple of years, and it does happen, sometimes. Your right Mark.
