Chicago was not a short circuit rebuild, they had been rebuilding for years, but Kane and Towes were the final pieces (along with Hossa of course).

They hit with a lot of their deeper picks, but it goes to show you how getting those top 3-5 picks puts you on a completely different level. You can punch above your weight finding players later in the draft, but it's not usually enough by itself.
