you post scouting reports as a justification of Jankowski selection, but ignore the fact that Tuevo was projected as the 7th pick and projected as a #1 center?
that doesn't make a lot of sense either.

The people that are claiming it as a huge reach react that way because Bobby Mac says so or because they haven't heard of him. People who have been following prospects closely for the last six months are claiming he has the potential to be a number 1 center. Teuvo is more likely to play RW rather than center btw.
The point is that any over reaction - positive or negative is unfounded. Like every pick tonight time will ultimately tell if it was a good one. I feel a lot better about this pick than the Chucko or Pelech pick however.
