Great example because I actuallu disagree. Yakupov was the wrong decision with the available information. His warts were well known. And he was a bad fit for that organization.

It isn't about justifying any pick but I think applying a rule, particularly for the first round where you compare against the next three picks is fair. When you start suggesting a pick was a blunder based on a guy selected 10 picks later it just isn't valid
