Just like Tom Erixon was not a good pick because of his bias, Fox falls into the same category. You invest resources into your organization, not others, so you want that investment to payoff for your team. If a guy says he has no interest in your team you shouldn't draft him. If a player says they have a predisposition to playing in only one city, you don't draft him. That is why you interview prospective draft picks. Get a sense of where their heads are and bring in players that have a desire to make your team better.

The rest of your overview is largely spun to suit your narrative (9 for 29 when most of the picks are too early to tell)

Spun it? Jesus, I didn't even include the last three drafts in those numbers so the results wouldn't be skewed. I figured if you aren't on the verge after draft +4 that is a pretty good indicator of not having it in you. So I don't see spin here. That was being fair. When picks are falling out of the system for a draft I think it is far to say that draft is coming to its cycle completion, no?

The problem has been lack of picks. With the picks they've had - they've done well in my view.

We agree here. Treliving places little to no value on draft picks and tosses them around like Washingtons at a strip club. We need to retain as many picks as possible for the scouts to get it done.
