What a ridiculous argument to use the 2006 draft to knock the drafting of KPP drafting.
x 1000
I was making the point that everyone assumes Talia is going to be a gun CHF/CHB, but he went at pick #13 in a weak draft! Look at the guys who got drafted in "superdraft" of 2006... how many of them would you pencil in a 10 yeah CHF/CHB's?
Almost all of the KP players drafted in 2006 were considered potential superstars! yet even they are struggling. Talia hasn't received a TENTH of the hype that Thorp, Sellar, Gumbleton and Hansen did going into the 2006 draft... and he is apparently the 2nd best tall!

1. These guys( KPP's) take longer to develop. Surely that's indisputable.
Of course they do, but out of the 2006 KP's, how many would you consider to be developing well?
Thorp?
Gumbleton?
Hanson?
Sellar?
Ried?
Gumbleton is the only one who's lack of development is justifiable, but even still, would you want him given his run with injuries?

2. Why not compare the 2004 draft. Roughead/Franklin vs Deledio/Tambling
Mate im not anti KP... of course any team would love a Franklin or Roughhead, but how often do they come along?
Fev's gone.... We drafted the best available kids... FFS get over it and move on.
