My biggest fear is they draft enough #1 overall that they eventually can't help but get it right. My first thought when I read about this was they are going to get Reinhardt AND McDavid - two more first overall picks = The Drive for Five.

And Katz and his son will still step on to the stage at the draft with smiles on their faces. Mind blowing. Show some shame.
