Almost everyone on this board would have made the Hughes pick - it was a no-brainer
I don't believe even one would have made the Pettersson pick - and any discussion around the fact that Benning didn't want the pick proves he was doing what he should, which is listening to his scouts despite his own beliefs.
And Miller was a great move.
Both Garland and Myers represent his bumbling - I currently love both those guys, but the deals/moves made to acquire them aren't good.
And in the end, the most glaring thing to me is he started his tenure by trying to fix our Defense, and seven years later it was was significantly worse than when he started.
So - he was bad, but he also deserves a lot of credit for the good he did do.
