I think Doughty is the best defenseman to come along since Bourque, give or take Lindstrom, so that is a red herring in terms of the choice available.
Personally, I would never trade up in this draft, since the difference between player A and player B is not worth the cost. One of these guys may turn out to be head and shoulders the best, but it is impossible to say which of the 4 (or 8) it will be. I just know I don't want Virtanen ( because you can't fix "stupid"), but otherwise...
