I'm not saying building a big team is inherently wrong, just that the way that teams like Chicago, LA and Pittsburgh aren't adding size and getting big for the sake of it like Burke but carefully screening data to make the most informed choice they can. You see it with Lombardi making dossiers and videos on players and Burke more interested in discarding that for his own personal view. Jack Johnson for interested has proven to make his defensive partner worse and you have Burke up there saying he should have taken him 2nd overall.
