Hedman was arguably a decent pick ahead of Duchesne and very much debateable vs Kane and Schenn. So again history isn't proving there that you have to take the forward.
So the history you picked showed that those defensemen were worthy of being picked top 3. Just like this year where Ekblad will likely go top 3. Those two years certainly aren't telling us to avoid defensemen high, that would be a crazy conclusion to draw from those draft years.

I think I value scoring forwards more than you then by the sounds of it because to me I do feel the forward alternatives are better.
