I agree. You don't draft for the present, you draft for the future and no one has a crystal ball.
If you're an optimist, you could also point to the fact that other players we already drafted might pan out and fill the gaps we have.
I wouldn't be surprised if Feaster believes Jankowski is our future #1 centre is looking for any type of future franchise player regardless of position.
