Glad we didn't pay 'market value' for Crouch. IMO, 2 first-round picks for a 16-year-old is beyond ridiculous.
I'd imagine, given the drafting and trading on show last year, that plan 3 is the most likely. Target a 22-23 year-old pre-FA player, therefore locking them in until 30+.
Who that would be, I'm not entirely sure, I'd have to do some research into the matter, but it seems the most likely. Lock in a potential marquee player just before the Free Agency rules come in. Although if this is the case, salary cap pressure may come into play......
