Valamaki was a mid first rounder in a weak draft. I don't have enough info to evaluate him above guys I've seen a bunch.

Agreed on Kylington. This years draft wasn't actually weak where we picked. The draft looked weaker the very top end compared to previous years because of the lack of a generational player at the very top end. But I think getting a guy we had ranked top 11 this year is pretty comparable to getting a guy in that range in previous drafts. So the weak draft narrative is overemphasized and frankly is unfair to the kids in the 1st round this year.
