I never said it was "easy." I said that a GM doesn't deserve a lot of credit for drafting a solid talent with the 9th pick. Especially a corner. Top 10 corners rarely bust (about a 12% bust rate according to Bleacher Report). Basically, a top 10 CB is one of the safest bets you can make. Which is probably what Paton was doing....playing it safe.
People like Quesadilla Joe have called Paton a top GM based largely upon the selection of Surtain. Ridiculous.
