Does our recent track record draw any unwanted attention to him?
I probably wouldn't use a top 3 round pick on him. If he's on the board for the 5th round or with the 6th/7th, maybe but there are too many other good players in this draft to use a top 90 on someone with as many defensive zone issues. Offensively, he's good, but he is prone to some of the same mistakes that Cundari made in the early part of this season.

All things being equal, I'd rather go with Parker Wotherspoon, so we can have good start on a 'spoon collection.
