It isn't like Bennett or Reinhart is the consensus #1 pick like Stamkos and Tavares were. So your scenarios don't really reflect history or the choice we will have.

Thats not actually true there was a debate about quite a few of these guys through the year in their draft year. My point is taking a forward seems to be a better choice than taking a D man high historically. I don't think your response really has anything to do with what im talking about tbh. No one is saying these Dman are busts but taking a forward seems to make more sense. So this does reflect history and does actually pertain to the choice we will have. We are looking at one of 5 top guys and that list does include a dman, so the dman vs forward debate is quite relevant.
