That is incredible asset management. Not only is there virtually no chance that you could do that well with those picks, but by trading the picks for young players that are already developed, he has immediately upgraded the pool of young players and fast forwarded the rebuild by quite a bit.
Unfortunately it was necessary to spend assets to get some of those players. However, that's just a further example of deficit spending to fill out a terrible roster of his own creation.

Russell is the only guy where the 4th for him was a steal. Colbourne, Knight and Galiardi are very much debatable. The need was there to acquire some more players, but that's a GM'ing issue, and continuing to spend assets to get them isn't a terrific strategy, even if they are maligned as only being '4th rounders'.
