Of the rest of the first round (including Janko):
2 have played more than a season (Maata, Pearson)
4 have played a season or less (Matheson, Gaunce, Skjei, Matteau)
4 have played <5 games (Janko, Subban, Schmaltz, Samuelsson)
So, the only guys way ahead of Janko are Maata and Pearson. Janko looks poised to make the NHL next year in a bottom six role. It's not like using the pick on him was a poor choice based on the guys chosen after him. He could still have a more significant career than a lot of first rounders.
Acting like a late 1st rounder taking 5 years to make is an awful thing doesn't make sense to me.

I'm fine with Janko pick and have been pretty much from the start, but you also have to consider that Feaster traded down because he was pretty sure he'd still get Janko at 21.
That 7 spots actually brings a few more names into the equation, including a young #1 goalie, a good young top 4 Dman among others.
