“We have just under 200 players that we have ranked as draftable for us,” DeCosta said. “If the board came off exactly the same way as we have it, we’d have to go outside of that to finish our draft because there’s over 250 picks.”

DeCosta disputed the notion that his willingness to trade away his first-round pick for Maxx Crosby indicates he didn’t think the 14th pick in this year’s draft is particularly valuable.

“We’re excited to have the pick this year at 14,” DeCosta said. “We think we’re going to get a really good player.”
