Who cares if we take a punt on a retread or 2 in the PSD...

Where I was coming from was if we delist/trade 8-9 players, took 6 kids in the draft, that would give us 22 kids under 21, 9 x 22-23 yo, followed by 2 more kids from the rookie draft that would give us a total of 33 kids under 23 of a total 44 players (with Kouta and Lappin as the only 30 year olds in the last season in 2007).
If that was the case then what if the choice in the PSD were:
Doyle?
Akermanis?
Keating?
Laycock?
Would it be such a big burden to nab 1-2 of them in the PSD, if they were the best available? I would, unless there was superior talent available than them in the PSD.
The point is we will have a lot of kids next year in their 1st, 2nd or 3rd year, followed by another 4-5 from the 2007 draft, it wont do us as much harm as it has in the past if we recruit some experience from so called retreads. As long as we keep our draft picks on the best available 6 kids.
