I'm absolutely saying that I would no question. 1st overall players are drafted 1st for a reason. Hall and Yakupov were consensus #1's. Please just stop trying to justify your position. Eberle is one of my favorite players but if you do the 2008 draft over again he'd go no higher than third at best but most likely 4th or 5th.
Then again you'd rather have Couturier over Yakupov. Just for the record, in 2010 Couturier was projected to go 1st overall in 2011 and ended up falling to 8th in his draft year. That doesn't happen if he truly was the kind of player you build a franchise around.
