I'm not gonna say I agree with any comments that suggest you guys draft poorly, because I think you have done very well, particularly with late/rookie picks, and with player development.
However, you also have to acknowledge that much of the Hawks team, has been built on a series of high draft picks in the early 2000's... including 5 top 10 picks in 04/05 - 2 of which were priority picks in the top 3... thats a pretty good base to be building a team off. And add to that the recruitment of older free agents, who have a limited time left but work very well when added to a team already at the top.
Hawthorn had 3 top 10 picks that it had directly recruited in its side in 2014 and 3 from trading in.
Hawthorn had 4 top 10 picks that it had directly recruited in its side in 2013 and 2 from trading in.
The only free agent that has come in is yet to play an official game Frawley. Whilst Simpkin was a delisted free agent.
Compared with Collingwoods 2010 side
Collingwoods 2010 Premiership side consisted of 6 top 10 picks with another 2 coming from trade.
