And no, I don't think it's too early. He was mediocre in Junior and he's nothing in the AHL. There is nothing to him that says NHL other than his size. This organization can't afford to even waste one pick as a result of an ideology that may not even be valid.

In that case I am jacked to see Burke pick future Hart Trophy winners based on the Henrik Sedin pick.
As for being too early again it wasn't like there are a bunch of future stars drafted around Biggs. That pick was likely to be a dud because it was the 21st pick not because of Biggs the player.
Considering that Burke has shown that truculence has basically zero to do with how he drafts it seems pretty ridiculous to point to one late first round pick as a reason to be worried about his myopia in that regard.
