I feel like this is a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' situation. If you are in that 40-win zone, you're drafting low enough that you have to get lucky to get a true impact player, but you clearly need more than just a year of development (typically) to get over the hump. So you either go all-in to take the next step...or you do nothing. It seems much easier to defend an attempt to make your team better than to defend standing pat.
