That is pretty typical I'd say. Consensus is often only on the top few picks. That the top 5 are fairly consensus at this point indicates the depth of the top end of the draft.
Love what I saw from Drouin at the WJC. Jones looked absolutely great as well, even better than Erik Johnson did at the same age I think. MacKinnon wasn't as impressive but I have no doubt about his top prospect status. Saw a few nice things from Lindholm. Didn't see enough of Finland to judge Barkov at all.
