But at the same time Button has been at the helm of head scout and drafting for quite a long time, but there is a noticeable difference in drafting quality from a majority of Sutter's tenure to Feaster's tenure. I doubt it's luck that's improved our drafting record.

Feaster is clearly responsible for some sort of change in philosophy. Whether it's just the fact that Feaster let Button make the choices without his input (as it's been rumoured that Sutter always had final say) or Feaster provided a new set of criteria, we'll probably never know, but something changed during Feaster's tenure to improve our drafting system.
