Relax and chill out. Take a read of what I said. I didnt use the word "NEVER" I said they are better. The fact remains this to be true.
The draft process over the last 2-3 years is a lot better than the list of players you provided above in selecting the best player. The fault of the player not coming to fruition in being a good player is more to do with the Club he lands at as opposed to the quality of the player. The Demons have historically screwed almost every early draft pick.
Every Club in the AFL would rather Pick 1 and Pick 41 over two picks in the 20s.
Surely you are not naive enough to believe that the Saints would trade pick 1 for two picks in the 20s.
