You have examples or just throwing something out there?
I'd say if we had drafted 3-4 guys in the 2nd-3rd round that were 2nd -3rd round talent then most would be on board with it. Just like most were on board with the type of draft we had last year.
Funny how that works. Teams do a good job drafting and their draft gets praised and acknowledged. They do a poor job and it gets duly criticized. Go figure.
I realise this. The point is that you could pick 3-4 guys you'd have liked to have had there, that you think were worth being there, and you know, without a doubt, that there would be people who wouldn't like one of them, some of them, all of them because they're not the guys they wanted.
Want examples? Look around at all the pre-draft, draft day, and post draft threads. There are TONS of examples of some people liking this guy, others not liking him, some guys wanting these 3 players, some wanting only 1 of those 3 players.
It's not hard to figure out, or realise, that no matter who all was drafted that not everyone would be happy. We could have gotten Sidbury, Johnson, and Iglesis (i'm sure I still spell his name wrong) and there would be people here who wouldn't like all those picks.
In fact there are plenty of examples in this very thread of people who don't like the Johnson pick you suggested. It's not rocket science, bro, there is no such thing as a draft that everyone would be completely happy with.
People liked our draft last year, for the most part, but you still had people complaining about some of the picks. Quite a few were upset that we picked Bennett in round two. I suppose now that they've seen him play most people who didn't like that pick will now say they always did. None the less they still had something to complain about last year, even in a draft that everyone thought was good.
Walden is another good example of a guy people complained about in a good draft. It's easy, without even trying really, to see how no matter what there are going to be sections of fans who aren't pleased with something, or all of, the teams drafts no matter what. It's life.
