Seems like every year forwards get picked above defenders with similar potential because of the quicker impact and easier transition they seem to have.

It's actually looking like a really good draft in the top 10. I am really hoping for a top 3 pick but I think the Flames will do really well as long as they are in the top 6 or 7.
McLeod, Gauthier, and Bean are probably in the 4th group from 10-12 and then everyone else. There's not much of a separation in my opinion from anyone 1-5, then Tkachuk then again with 7-12. You could easily justify anyone from 7-12 in any order. All depends on what you're looking for.
