Personally, I think it was a good draft because we did hit on at least 3 future starters in Price, Bates and Hubbard. Maybe a 4th starter if Jefferson can improve. Any draft that you can get 2 starters out of is pretty good imo.

I'm with Ocho, saying we "hit" on 3 starters and possibly a 4th is a bit of a stretch.

Bates was a hit but the jury is still out on the rest. I believe Price will improve in his second season and he needs to improve quite a bit. Hubbard has flashed and he looks like he might be a good one but he hasn't done it consistently or started, yet.

Jefferson is a giant stretch to even put a maybe on. We haven't really seen him at all. 

And I still don't get the Walton pick ! It's still way early to really grade this draft but let me just say I hope we get a lot of improvement next season from this class.
