Honestly, haven't watched him more than just in highlight packages, and I'm not even remotely qualified to "scout" or project him, but....

1. I'm not a fan of picking defensemen early in a draft
2. I keep hearing lately that many scouts don't feel Ekblad is going to be as good as once thought
3. I'd rather take a high quality center with high, high picks, especially when the D man comparable isn't head and shoulders above the center when talking BPA
