I think Brady will be better than that, but just pointing out that you aren't trying to draft that type of player in the top 5. You want a game breaker.

I don't think Brady will ever match the offense Matthew brings, but he will be a big, mean, tough to play against forward with some skill as well.
I agree, but they aren't drafting him with the belief he will be a 25 point guy. Part of his value, maybe the majority, is the perceived likely hood that even if he ends up being a 30 point player, he will be closer to a killorn/Tierney 30 point player and not a Colborne 30 point player if that makes sense.

Worse than drafting a 30 point player top 5 is drafting a guy who doesn't take a shift in the league top 5.
