Draft is overblown in general. I mean look at the ESPN coverage ,etc. Half the kids don't make an impact on their respective teams, if they make the cut at all. Look at our last few drafts and see how many actually made the team. The ridiculous coverage and the overhyping of the event itself has finally come home to roost in the form of premature Draft fatigue. Used wisely, with a great scouting staff, the draft can be a very useful tool in building great teams, but with several teams(Skins included) this is a lost art.
