hcd199 your heart is in the right place but sorry mate you are simply being naive and ignorant.
In what way? I've never denied that good players are available in the draft, that there will be more available at higher picks, or that at this stage in our list development it's probably wise to focus on taking our picks rather than trading to plug holes. It's "naive and ignorant" to think being bad is ultimately better for us in the long run, based solely on the slightly increased probability of acquiring good players through the draft. Plenty here were envious of Melbourne back in 2009, and would've preferred we lose to them (for, what, Jack Trengove?); that mindset is no less moronic now than it was then.
