Considering his size, Fox is a longer shot than Kylington IMO.
Both have almost unlimited upside.
So for me, it is weird/wrong to have Fox that much higher than Kylington. They should be pretty much side by side.

Fox did something no other defensemen has done since Brian frickin Leetch in college. Am I saying he is the next Brian Leech? Absolutely not... but he has the pedigree now and seems to continue to impress and look elite at every level. Of course he's still a long shot, they are all long shots. Just because you would have Fox and Kylington side by side doesn't make it weird or wrong for someone else to have him 5 spots higher. I would have Fox at 5 and Kylington at 9. But i don't think it's weird or wrong for you to have them 1 spot apart with Kylington higher. I will admit I have limited viewings of both but from what I have seen Fox has more offensive upside and doesn't seem to lose himself as much. Or maybe I see more boneheaded plays by Kylington than he is actually making.
Pretty much all the prospect rankings I've seen has Fox ahead of Kylington which isn't wrong or weird.
