I think people sometimes gets too confused with who is a "GM good at drafting" ..... at best, a GM will only really have say in the 1st round. 99% of the work is done by scouts. The only thing a "good drafting" GM can do is surround himself with good people, likely from connections and knowing who knows what they are talking about.

So the question here isn't Burke's draft history with Feaster's ..... its going to be if Burke lets go of any of the good scouts, or if Burke has the connections to bring in better scouts.
