personally i'd rather the picks and the cap space. but paying over the odds for players wanting to come back will probably always happen considering how many we lose.
Everything in hindsight, I think most people expected the Crows to challenge again in 2018 in which case Gibbs would’ve been far more useful than whichever kid we picked up in the draft.
For a variety of reasons it didn’t happen for us last year, and barring a major form reversal isn’t looking like happening this year, so the trade likely won’t end up a successful one for us, but it was worth a punt at the time imo.
