Can't argue with this. It is only a three year span, and it is too early to judge the guys from last year, but so far we have no real "hits".
And it isn't really proper to say the '12 draft was not that bad because we got Iloka. A fifth round pick is pretty much luck. Especially when we spent three picks on defensive players in the first three rounds and didn't get much at all. Kirkpatrick is not as bad as some here claim, but he has under performed for a first round pick. Still was a complete bust, and even though Thompson provided some decent back up that is nothing special for a third round pick.
