If the stereotype was indeed true, the head of pro scouting still could have used that mold and drafted great players as well. Darryl so-called restriction didn't enable poor picks but rather poor scouting came to a concusses pick that was poor. Outside of the Dion pick, I really can't believe that Darryl pulled his weight on any pick

The GM sets the parameters to use when ranking prospects; so Darryl might have put an emphasis on size where as another GM might prefer speed. The fact that Button has survived 4 GMs either says something about this skill in doing what is asked of him
or says something about his skill in schmoozing to the right people
