Basically you are drafting him based on size, being a RHS and his last name.
I would rank rank Makar, Heiskanen, Liljegren, Valimaki and Hague ahead of Foote.
You could make an argument for Foote ahead of Hague as I think Hague has more of a bust factor than Foote, but I also think Hague's ceiling is much higher than Foote's.

The first 4 of those guys wil almost definitely be gone before 16 so if the Flames want a defenseman, they'll probably have their choice of Foote, Hague, Timmins, or Brannstrom.
I hope that Suzuki is available but I'd be fine with any of the d-men, though I'd rather take a forward since I think the forwards in this draft project better than the defense do.
