    Olshey says the team has a better chance at getting better long-term by using 6 & 11 then by adding "one-offs" #ripcitydraft

    Olshey also says that potentially adding Joel Freeland won't affect their draft strategy this Thursday #ripcitydraft

    I didn't read it that way. I don't think he is saying at 6 and 11 we will get the two best players. I read it as with 6 and 11, regardless if we deal those picks or not, we will get the two best players we can for the franchise

    This really stood out to me


    That sounds like he is going to use the picks to obtain a vet or two
