I think D-men are much harder to predict, so it's harder to use high picks on 'em. Out of the top 15 or so persent D-men only a couple came with a really high pick (Doughty, Peitrangelo Hedman). Karlssen, Suter, McDonagh and Seabrook were mid first rounders. Chara, Weber, Keith, Subban, Vlasic, Campbell, Muzzin - all were 2nd or later. And we know about Gio and Brodie.
