Scouting is so much better now than it was in the 90s as well and this is a big reason for that. Busts in the top 5 used to be commonplace but now you rarely see it. Maybe the only arguable top five "bust" since 2002 is Thomas Hickey and (a) he was taken off the board and (b) he's young and the jury's still out.
The days of Scott Scissons and Dave Chyzowski are long gone.
