I don't think that whodi said "most draft picks not being as great as everyone thought they'd be." He pointed out that sometimes overly positive momentum can get behind a player and elevate him above his reality, some get severely injured, and sometimes players just implode for no fathomable reason. This is a very unusual draft in that there are 20 extremely high quality 1st round candidates, any one of whom would be an outstanding addition to their team. Looking back on previous drafts and the amount of hype preceeding them, there was about the right amount of overall enthusiasm given the talent at the time. The few players whodi mentioned are a tiny percentage of first round draft picks and are examples of highly paid scouts being wrong on occasion, like any of us here.
