Except MAYBE Yakupov? Yakupov was pretty clearly the wrong pick. That was the year to deal down, or take Murray, Rielly or Galchenyuk at #1. Yakupov was redundant with Eberle/Hall. Throw in the Russian factor and it makes it a huge mistake IMO.
Both Hall and RNH are defendable. Yakupov was a massive mistake.
