We lost 5 mids this off season already with 0 replacements. We seriously lack depth in an area we aren't particular strong in as is.
Even if we happen to Land Danger, we still will have this problem with lack of rotations.
Personally I don't want project KPDS, Lonners has 2 years now. A kid won't be ready in that time. I would rather us just poach a ready made player from a weak team, rather then develop one.
Your argument is valid but its the same reason I wanted a couple of mature mids. Any mids we draft will probably take 2-4 years before they are ready to be at AC's level. In other word no early draft pick will be a high usage 2015 draft pick, they will be picked for the long term. In fact , we may get more immediate players with our late picks or Rookie picks.
