I would go Draisaitl at #4 assuming the top 3 are gone for sure.
I don't see Monahan becoming a true #1C. I see Monahan as more of a Bergeron, Couture or Toews type of player - scores a ton of goals, extremely defensively responsible and loads of leadership, but isn't the go-to offensive guy like Krejci/Iginla, Thornton, or Kane on those respective teams.
Either way, I'd just take whoever is left of the top 4 in Bennett, Reinhart, Ekblad and Draisaitl.
Dal Colle looks awesome too just from the videos so I wouldn't be upset if we chose him as well. Really, I don't think you can really go wrong with any of the top 5 this year - not too much separating them.
