13 new players drafted over the last two years is plenty. Quality over quantity is preferable anyway.
3 first rounders
4 second rounders
3 fourth rounders
1 mid season pick (touted late 1st,2nd rd)
2 Cat B rookies
8 of the 13 we’ve taken were inside the top 40 of the last two drafts. We also have one 1st, two 2nds and two 3rds in ne t years draft. I’d say our turnover is just fine and the rejuvenation of our playing list is going well.
As others have mentioned there’s no point throwing Gaff to the wolves or showing Shuey the door if the replacements are a few kids picked in the 50’s /60’s.
Another 5-7 again next year and i dare say we’ll have one of the youngest lists in the comp.
Meanwhile we have some veterans imparting their wisdom on the youth.
All Sumich and Cornes would have done is seen Hurn, Shuey and Gaff are still on the list and jumped to the ignorant conclusion we’re not rebuilding the list despite all the evidence to the contrary.
Lazy journalism at its finest.
