Comment From Ryan

" ...In 10 years how many of these 7 picks do you think we will be able to look back on and say Ted was right and how many you think will be a bust? .."

Response from a chat:

" That's what makes grading drafts a fruitless endeavor. I hear guys say this was a great pick or that was a great pick, or this team had a good draft, and it's always based on either they made big-news trades for big-name players or used early picks on big needs. But that doesn't mean those players are going to pan out. If three of them turn out to be good picks Thompson will have done well. If it turns out he found a Hall of Famer, or a near Hall of Famer, he'll have had a great draft... " Pete Dougherty
