The whole conclusion is based on false logic. In order for the conclusion to work it requires all 8 years to be bad drafting, but only the first 4 (2001 - 2004) were really bad. This would point to DV being the one to blame. In reality the whole scouting organization top to bottom was sick during the DV years, which is why Carl is to blame.
Results from years 2006 - 2008 show evidence that the problem has been corrected. So who was the positive influence for the corrective change? We all know Herm was picked because he was the type of change Carl wanted, a coach that would play the youth. The corrective change has resulted in improvement in scouting and drafting. Proof positive are the second day picks in 2008 with players like Carr.
We all want to blame Carl and DV for the bad years and rightly so, but I also applaud Carl for the changes made resulting in what appears to be a rebuilding effort moving in the right direction.
