Based on those quotes out of Carolina, I'm now a lot less worried about picking at 6 now. As long as they don't trade their pick, Monahan should be there for our taking
Safest, smartest pick. Even if he turns out to be a solid #2 center, he's still exactly the mold of player we want up the middle. Since Nashvilles stating that they're likely to stay put, moving into the 'elite' grouping of players is next to impossible now, so I think a franchise player is out of the question anyways. Take the solid C piece and maybe you'll hit a home run with one of the 3 picks after all. That surefire franchise guy will come next year, likely, so no need to pay an unnecessary price this draft that could set us back..
