Actual f'n unicorn.

I preferred Catton early, but at this point, it's getting difficult to justify ranking Catton ahead of Lindstrom. They have nearly the same production, but Lindstrom has 5 inches and 50+ pounds on Catton. Plus the other intangibles. Both of them have strong linemates who are likely helping with their production.
This will likely be quite an erratic draft in terms of rankings. I predict that many players will "fall" or be taken "off the board". Part of the reason for this is the number of Russians/Belarussians. Levshunov, Demidov, Silayev, Chernyshov, Artamonov and Shuravin will be interesting to watch.
