The reason people pile on you for being so negative about the draft picks is because you have absolutely no evidence that the drafting done by Feaster over the past 3 years is such a disaster as you claim.
Take a lot at the top 10 picks over the last 5 years? How many were as great as Pierre and the morons at TSN said they would be? Therefore how the bloody hell does anyone know who will turn out and who wouldn't? Teams have their rankings based on what their own scouts feed them in terms of information plus the interviews they do. No two lists are the same, and no list is based on what Central Scouting says.
Nobody here has a clue if Jankowski will be that #1 center we need, but he is progressing rather nicely, so that off the board pick looks to be turning out SO FAR.
Give these kids a chance. The Chucko pick was a disaster, but who knew that when they drafted him?
