While I don't agree with the notion that the 2011 draft was bad (obviously nothing's been proven yet... but the players from that draft look promising)... i think rushing to rash statements about what Burke is going to do is pretty silly. He's a guy that's readily admitted that he's not the greatest talent evaluator and tends to lean on his player personnel and scouting guys for that. Nevermind the fact that he took two guys in Kadri and Reilly at the high end of their respective drafts... neither guy is massive and neither really screams 'truculence either.'
I don't like the idea of spurning BPA for size but I don't think we should go running for the hills just yet.
