Ideally we'd find someone that has both high end skill and is 6-3, but unfortunately that guy doesn't exist this year. You're either getting someone that's mediocre and big or moderately sized and skilled.

Gotta disagree with almost everything in this post. We lack skill? Gaudreau, Baerstchi and Granlund are all highly skilled players with below average height and are arguably 3 of our top prospects. We're somewhat deep in skilled, smaller players.
No guys skilled and 6'3 this year? That's completely false. Dal Colle, Ritchie and Perlini are all highly skilled and likely to end up around 6'3. All are expected to go around our draft position.
Shakes head. It's highly unlikely we take Ehlers over the big wingers given our organizational needs.
