Weber went 49th in the draft. That's a stat good enough for me. If anyone thought he'd be close to as good as he is, he probably would have gone in the top 5. The draft is a crapshoot because there are no real guarntee's, you have to take a chance on players and hope they'll pan out. The Flames lack that true #1 defensman and drafting defensemen seems to make the most sense.
