Yes, Schmitz really said that they will look at target players who they think would ultimately go higher if there is a redraft in a future year. That's their approach.
But it was not an idea that they will want to take a wild swing at some once-in-a-million outcome.
Instead, it's the mindset that they will be selecting the player who they think (based on their homework over many years) will be the best player in year 3-4-5-and-on as they continue to develop and mature rather than look for the one who is the best in college right now or is likely to be best right up front as a rookie. Of course, those may be the same player. But there was no sense in his words that they will be taking wild hope-for-a-miracle swings with their pick. It's going to be a product of YEARS of observation on most of those players.
