I agree. But there are always GMs out there willing to take a shot on guys like Crouse. He'll probably be pushing 230 when he fills out. If he does find another gear offensively he's an asset you can't buy on the market. And if he doesn't, then he's liable to be a decent depth forward who can play with skilled players - pretty much what you're expecting with a mid to late 1st. So that bump to 5th overall is the price of entering the 'potential' lottery.
