...how much the new owner wants to contend for a championship immediately.
Maybe he figures this gives them an immediate window & he'd like to bask in the glory of winning a championship merely weeks after taking control of the team.
It does seem risky, though.
Maybe they think they'll be good enough for a few years that those draft picks will be 26-30 and they aren't missing high impact choices.
Just guessing.
