Part of the problem will be roster space, because if they keep JB and their pick, that puts them OVER the limit, at 16. But the bigger issue will be money, not just because of the tax issue, but they will only have the taxpayer MLE (~$6.2M) and minimums. Players who will want to be paid the big MLE or more will be impossible.
While I don't think it will happen, I hope we make and keep our pick this year. And while I hate drafting out of need, it seems obvious what this team needs and that's putting aside that the front office has big (pun intended) decisions to make with Powell and Maxi entering the final year of their deals.
