Fair enough. We do still have last month's
3rd round (88th) Ilya Nikolaev, 4th round pick (114th) Lucas Feuk and 5th round pick Nodler (150th) still on the board. Neither of them are garnering much interest yet. There is a reason 31 teams passed on him 6 times just last month. His stock definitely has risen, but this significantly? I think it is a factor of name recognition at this point, since he has gotten more press than the others.
