Is it any more ridiculous that the people who like the pick, haven't for the most part seen him either?
I get that a lot of fans think when someone new is acquired/drafted/whatever, the tendency (for any group of fans of any team) is to try to look at the bright side.
But not everyone is required to.
If some posters who have never seen him play can judge a pick as good or promising based on some scouting reports and a some youtube videos, then surely a separate group can also just a pick as bad or wasted based on the same information.
Either way, neither group will be proven right for a while. But there seems to be a lot of dismissing of posters who don't like certain picks when they have just as much information as posters who do like.
