I'd actually agree that DM probably hasn't been that adventurous with the draft. But that's probably a good thing. In sports, here's something to be said for just doing the simple, smart thing. Look at how many GM's across professional sports just don't do it. DM is just as guilty. Why would anyone sign Yuni the way they did? We could litter the board with examples from different GMs across all sports getting too cute or too smart.
But to be fair... there were great players available in the draft, he took them. That's basically what the Ravens do every single year and they're lauded as geniuses in the draft... pretty much because they avoid doing anything stupid. Or, like many GMs seem to do in their draft, try to outsmart everyone. That allows good players to fall and teams like the Ravens or Steelers pick them up. DM has pretty much done the same thing with the Royals.
