It doesn't have to do with Stankoven specifically or me being critical of the Stromgren pick. But if the scouts loved Stankoven and we passed because of size and who we drafted in the first round, I'm beside myself.

These decisions wouldn't be made in isolation like this - one would expect that much more would go into it it, like who else are we planning on drafting this year, and what does our prospect base currently look like - especially at the position in question.
But as per the bold above - if they made the decision, and took someone else, just because thy were bigger and they had taken a small player in the first round, then I agree with you, that would be pretty bad.
But again, I don't think that's the case.
