Sure, you could say they should not have bet so much on upside at #2 overall. But that has worked out to great benefit in the past.
A much bigger mistake was losing Jenkins and keeping Austin. Because they KNEW or should have known what they had in those 2 players after having them for a few years. That was a much worse evaluation by Snead. And I'm gonna assume he was part of those evaluations and should have forced the issue even if Fisher balked. And I doubt Fisher did. He wanted to keep Jenkins. So I put the Jenkins/Austin mess mostly on Snead.
