Do we keep our first round pick this year, use it to get better, or try and get more picks by trading down?

We are not using it to get rid of Murray. His buyout is dirt cheap for this coming season.

They should just have a look at the numbers and agree that LTIR is the best option for the player. He's only going to get a fraction of the money owed on his real $8 million salary, and he's not going to be a high earning UFA. Take the year off, rest up and go back to Pittsburgh.

They don’t need money this year but they might add a few guys next year to get acclimatized and then maybe they’ll be in a position to take a run the following year.

id rather take the full hit to begin next season and LTIR when he gets hurt.

This is also fine. Moving the first when the team really doesn’t have to is a non-starter though.

They only scenario where they involve a pick is if they're swapping draft spots.

They need so much and by the time they acquire it, new holes spring up. If it can be done Treliving will be GM of the century.
