Apparently, 2nd round picks are the new "protected first round pick"... or whatever. Even taking 3-4 second round picks back would be worth something... with the new CBA, that $$ saved by giving a 2nd round guy a guaranteed contract instead of having to hire a vet min guy is worth something... and the talent pool seems to be getting deep…
