2012 was probably just as good in the long run. Jankowski, Sieloff, Gillies, Kulak, Culkin, Gordon, Deblouw.
Since Feaster has taken over and has given more reign to the scouting staff to make their picks the drafts have looked more promising. Whether that turns into results remains to be seen.
One thing that seemed evident this year was a slight change in strategy. Seemed like they placed more of an emphasis on size and grit when scouting this year.
