Perhaps he should consider his types and after this most recent draft performance, reevaluating his process of taking over the draft...

I don't see the draft blunders. You call them blunders because they do not meet your expectations. The Mel McShays of the world grade a draft on their expectations, not on what the individual team feel about the prospects. That's their opinion. Just like yours is yours. It doesn't make it right. You may like a certain player that they have completely removed from their board for one reason or another. All teams work that way.

As for the draft performance, I loved it. It appears that they got the players that they really wanted. They were clearly excited by every pick and moved on them quickly.
