-they were open to options on trading for picks
-they knew generally who they wanted

All of the above strategy got executed. Following sound strategy will end up being successful most times. Guys in Columbus / NYI don't appear to have much of a homogeneous strategy.

Edmonton's strategy is to suck ass. Glad ours seems to have everyone on board and that we're following it.
I think Edmonton also drafted some guy they think "can be the best player in the draft" too in the 3rd round. (NOTE: this is nothing against Jankowski... just a noteworthy tidbit)
