Bennett is very good, but those other two guys are also very good in their own right, not quite as good but still good.
There are some really good talents in the picks following the top 5 (assuming Strome is #5).
Three big forwards in Zacha, Crouse and Nicolas Roy all 6-3, other talented forwards in Barzal, Connor, konecny and Sprong. Also Jeremy Roy is a really good D-man, I would be surprised though if he even made it to 8.
So even in the case that the Flames pick 8-10, we should get someone in the same talent range as the top two tiers of forwards from last draft.
