Edit: i'll even add in Gio who was undrafted and we can now consider to be a solid number one since he's an injury call up for team Canada.

Just because one team a year out of thirty hits a homerun with a 2nd or 3rd rounder doesn't mean you can rely on winning that lottery as your strategy for acquiring a top two defenseman.
We need a top two defenseman with size for our rebuild. I'm not convinced we'll be getting a Weber or a Keith in the 2nd round, that seems like a hope and a prayer. So Ekblad seems like a great option to me. Reinhart and Bennett also look like solid options. Personally I think the right handed d-man with size might be rarer if he's the real deal.
