There are outright bad picks (Tim Couch, Ryan Leaf) but most of the time you draft a player and hope he figures out how to make the jump to the NFL. Why wasn't Brady drafted higher? Why wasn't Tony Romo drafted at all? No, it's not bad GMing when you don't get these players, it's bad GMing when you get nothing out of the draft. Pioli is getting good drafts so far.
I'll be kind and just say I think you're confused about how the draft works.

He fell into thier laps. It wasn't a stroke of genius by any means. Kind of like Pats almost drafting Tim Rattay over Brady.
