I still personally think it's a brutal pick and he'll amount to very little. I guess it would be nice to be wrong, but it'll take a lot of progression in the next year to make it look otherwise.

Personally, I'm liking Brad Treliving's interviews and answers because he doesn't try to talk circles around you. He's very direct and to-the-point.
And honestly, Jankowski probably projects closer to Eric Nystrom or Lance Bouma right now than Joe Nieuwendyk. That's FINE, but it's pretty brutal for a first round pick in a decent draft. (Just like the Nystrom pick was.)
