Oh sure, I wanted Sillinger as well and had no idea about Boucher.
My point was just that they looked to have gambled to get a better player at each spot. They rolled with lack of viewings and some gaps in development, character to improve, and very likely some glimpses of excellence to try and swing at each pick.
In that crazy draft year it really is the only time where you could rationalize a draft strategy that was basically trying to find diamonds everywhere.
I’m not anymore enthused at anyones year than anyone else, but I kinda like the idea and I’m willing to see how these guys all pan out. They are all long term guys after all.
I am learning to accept that others are extremely disappointed
