We always here about the failures that we have drafted and the underachievers and such (Eg. Fiora) But of all the controversial picks, would Richmond have been mad at the time not to take them. For example if we had bypassed Fiora in the draft and taken someone else, would that have seemed ludacris at the time?

ah skip,
your question is very vague. I know what you're trying to get at. You can look at it from 2 ways:
1. Individual case by case, or
2. The big picture

In alt1, using Fiora as an example, it came down to a choice between Fiora & Pavlich. I know who I was hoping that we were going to choose, but I've expressed that before.

In alt2, you just look at who you've ended up with over time, who you've missed out on, and judge.

Again, like all things judgements are subjective, and everyone has a different opinion.

I've made mine known.
