Honestly, people on these forums know absolutely nothing about draft quality. Don't go off of that. I'd much rather have an Owen Power/Kent Johnson and some late firsts or seconds than some meaningless points in a season where we're virtually guaranteed to miss the playoffs anyway. Those guys would be our best prospects by a mile.
Adding competitive players will push us out of that prime rebuild real estate at the top of the lottery--and we'll have no elite players to show for it. Yeah, that's the league's fault, but we can only work with what we're given. Which means we extend the rebuild, not that we abandon it and start building up.
This team is already going to be hard to watch this year. Might as well cash in.
I take future draft stuff with a grain of salt in most years. However most of the negative talk around the overall depth of certain drafts comes true, like it did in 2012 (lower hype year) and seems to be happening with a large amount of 2017 (lower hype) draftees. It also originally stems from hearing about stuff from the ones doing the scouting.
