2010 was a good draft, sure. It still doesn't compare to Carl's 2008 draft, though.

Carl hit a home run on Flowers, Charles, and Carr, and he got great value out of BRich. Also, it's not like Dorsey and Albert were awful picks, even if they haven't lived up to expectations. Both of the guys are starters for us and at the time were considered no-brainer picks. That's a total of 6 good picks- 3 of them being goldmines-- potential or already Pro Bowl status. That's batting .500, with 60% of the hits home runs. That was an amazing draft.

Pioli will never ever hope to aspire to that draft. I hope he does, but it's pretty unlikely.
