Sure, but we're talking about a pool of prospects that stretch into the twenties, not a d-core that consists of 6 guys. The initial point was a bit of a stretch (outside of three prospects) but the response was flat out stupid because it's eliminating half of the small group of 6, it's a much larger percentage. When it comes to prospects having top end talent is key but prospect depth cannot be brushed aside. Yeah, having one golden bullet is awesome, but I want as many regular bullets in the chamber as possible.

Chicago got on top because of the big names but they've stayed there because of how they've continued to draft and develop players outside the big name range. How that's lost on someone, especially in a cap world is a bit staggering.
