It wasn't off the board but it still wasn't the right decision and most people don't need hindsight to realize that. Seguin is a center, Hall is a winger. Seguin showed a lot more "hockey smarts" then Hall and seemed to be more of a complete player while Hall was just a finisher. It wasn't like the oilers picked someone who shouldn't have been in the top 3 (Yak) they just didn't pick the best possible player. That's their MO.
