When you consider their lack of defensive depth and the fact that Jones is an American boy I feel if the Avalanche pick 1st overall it will be extremely anticlimactic. You could make a case for Drouin but picking up a center when they are already deep is something the Oilers would do passing on need for another type of player they already have.
