That might not be a terrible decision. Given the constraint of having a rookie, the McDavid pick wasn't 'competing' against the likes of Stamkos and Benn, it was competing with the other rookies. If you feel there's a potential bigger gap between McDavid and the other rookies then it makes sense to grab him instead of "getting stuck" with another rookie like Ehlers. With the vets, there's a ton of solid picks including Getzlaf, Toews, Kopitar and Hudler who weren't picked at all. No matter what with the forward vets you were going to get a potential high scoring player.
