re: Pels recent drafts

I judge drafts by production that the franchise that made the pick got from that player, thats how i feel i would have to judge if i were an owner or the gms boss, the people who actually have to grade their employees performance. That's all that really matters in the end, a gm can still get fired even if things didn't bounce their way with a particular player. Doing well in trades and free agency has nothing to do with drafting ability, so not sure what that has to do with discussion at hand, "recent drafts"
I have no problem giving grif and FO kudos for last 3 drafts, they knocked it out of the park if we are grading it today. But then going a step further and saying Griff is an amazing drafter in general, comparing one FO Era to another, is kind of short sighted in my opinion, at least without mentioning the negatives, and that is the post I responded to. You have to mention the bad with the good. Hopefully they keep it up and the good significantly outweighs the bad without argument after another couple of solid years.

What you’re missing from that perspective is the extra context of the Pels clearly changing the type of player they target after all of the early failure. That suggests what they are currently doing is very repeatable. That does let you discount the previous misses some in terms of looking forward and if the team heading in the right direction.

The negatives are irrelevant. Their negatives pale in comparison to almost every other FO in the league over that same time period. They deserve nothing but praise because no franchise has drafted more efficiently over the last 5 years.
