He says he "tried" last year and it seems commonly accepted. No he didn't. People saw the same games I did.
The tricky part of GM'ing isn't getting supertalent, it's tailoring the best talent to the coach's philosophy if the coach isn't capable of flexibility. Feed him what he needs, not what is commonly wanted. That's how good teams remain successful with poor draft position, and that's why I'm no supporter of blind BPA in the draft.
