I was really surprised at how quantity beat draft acumen almost 100% of the time.
Clearly there are particulars that defy the numbers though. Take the Kings in 2005. They draft 2 guys that play and have 7 others that bust completely. The end up with a -475 in games played suggesting failure in crude terms. They miss out on Marc Staal, Mason Raymond, Kris Letang so not a good draft right?
The two players that play? Kopitar and Quick.
