So who did you want picked on draft day. Did you like that they traded down? Because Matta was only a consideration after they traded down. You may have but it certainly isn't fair to complain about the flames by comparing there 1 pick against 4 or 5 other picks at two locations in the draft and say that pick would have been better.
Of course out of 10 possible selections 1 or more will be better than our 1 selection. The differences between these players are marginal. And what is Matta a 3/4 defensmen tops. Swinging for the fences over going for the Daryl Sutter pick is the better choice in the first round.

I don't want to target you specifically but I hate when people go back to look at old drafts and say that pick would have been so much better when you are comparing the best of everyones picks vs 1 pick. A team would never have a good draft if that is how you evaluate them.
