Not only that, but they'll almost certainly recoup some of the value of they dealt away when they move out expiring contracts at the deadline, or Bozak and JvR this summer, etc. There's value in spreading the picks out and building a pipeline. You can only have so many prospects in the system at a time.
They also could have spent these picks acquiring what this team really needs at this point.
