If I recall correctly, the Grandal signing reduced the cost of losing the CB pick substantially, which probably Stearns had planned and accounted for. If we hadn’t traded the CB pick, we would have lost our 2nd round pick (A Kelly) but instead lost our third round pick for Grandal. With how well Kelly seems to be progressing, he is likely worth more than whomever we would have taken at 41. The ultimate way to evaluate the trade is if you prefer Kelly plus 2 decent, inexpensive years of Claudio versus who we would have taken at 41 plus a low odds of success late 3rd round pick. I think we wound up fine.
