my trouble with narrowing drafts to just McVay is that Snead and his staff play a vast role in the process, and he's been with the team a long time.

Yes, coach certainly makes big decisions, but it goes through the process.

and it's not just draft; it's the FA: it's the trades:

Higbee, J Reynolds, C Littleton......Hendo....even Aaron .....
Hav, Whit, Allen, Hekker
there's some legacy of team build here that I have a hard, hard time to narrow to just the draft

still this is a solid assessment you've made of success rates by position of recent drafts.
