See, the value in a weak draft is in the middle. That is because the difference in talent from a player you can draft in the 2nd round is not that much higher than the talent of a guy you can draft in the 3rd.
So you dont end up paying premium money to a backup when you can get just as good a player for cheaper. Plus with extra picks, your chances of landing a good player are that much higher.
