Excellent points above and the Pete's are an iconic franchise with great fan support. Its tough for 16/17 year olds to have success in this league unless they are surrounded by strong vets otherwise it's learning and treading water for many of them-1st rounders or not. The key thing is the experience the young kids are getting should translate next year and beyond. Many nights the young kids will struggle but its all part of the process. Although I don't see much of an interest in your current vets you could get some later round picks for some of them.
Next year there should be lots of OA's available and some school bound 06's looking to play that can come in as free agents (unless many jump to NCAA-not likely for '06's) to bring in next year to support the 07/08/top '09 kid Pete's will get. Stay the course. Wilson has proven he can win. Pete's are legitimately two years away from making noise but they should be definitely better next year. If Taylor and Addy don't take the next step there will be teams willing to take them on to give them fresh starts IMO. I don't think Pete's have to worry about Cameron and Young. Fitzy is a can't miss.

Problem is if Taylor and addy don’t take the next step teams might take them on but they won’t get much in return. Those are 2 of the key building blocks they are trying to build around that will only set this rebuild back if they don’t pan out imo. Can only hope Novotny comes over next year and they also get another top Euro with likely the first overall pick
