This is not Herm's 2008 team. They haven't gone full reerun rookie mad. Core players with good experience are the backbone of this team and will be augmented by well researched rookies through the draft.
This is nearly a polar opposite of that 2008 disaster that was the impetus for the Pioli reign of terror.
If you can't see that, I don't know what else to say to you.

'08 was a full on effort to rebuild, which netted the likes of Albert, Flowers, and Charles in the draft, some of the very same players whom the team relies upon today.
Factor in Bowe, Hali, and DJ, and we have much of the same "core" that people laud currently.
Herm couldn't coach for shit, but he was absolutely part of the process when actual talent was brought on board, and he definitively acknowledged the correct role of the draft.
While he couldn't execute to save his life, I do believe that Herm understood the correct process-level approach.
