The way the multiple draft picks are acquired had to factor in too. It's one thing to always trade back in the first round and get an extra pick. It's another to trade veterans for picks at the deadline.

I think Nashville had 3 or 4 second round picks in 2003, and Kevin Klein and Weber were both picked after Konstantin Pushkarev. So even teams who are good at drafting did need to have multiple swings to knock one out of the park.
