I criticize Button for later round drafts and the GM for first rounders. It's also common knowledge that Sutter had given pretty firm marching orders on type of player to Button. Feaster was all about developing a list and not deviating, so Button would have had way more input.
Patron? If anyone would have been the patron you'd think it was Craig Button. But I don't think that was the case. I think TB has just made his case for himself out of later round picks:
