Exactly the way I see it. Fills a primary need (top 4 RHD) and lets us swing for the fences on a top 10 pick. The rest of the trades are lacking a real home run pick.
Philadelphia is a low first, Frost (who is good but no shot at being Johnny good) and Ghost is largely a cap dump right now.
Georgiev is alright and on the upswing, Buchenvich is one of those guys that we hear will be good every year, and a mid first. Still no hope of a player as good as johnny.
Merzlinkins is interesting because he's a very legit tender prospect (moreso than Georgiev IMO.) But i've never liked Boone Jenner (think he's best in bottom 6 role) and the pick is again mid round. As an aside, because of the wild variation in 13-70 of this draft i would say it's potentially one of the worst ever to have mid 1st round picks in. You might be able to get similar or better value players with two 2nds.
