Lysell has developed a bit of a reputation of not being very team focused or coachable. That's probably why he's falling.
Don't disagree about your observations about Pronman but I also enjoy reading different POVs. Similar to Button - he has his list, and it's his views. He doesn't get caught up in trying to create a list that aligns with others. I like looking across a few different views to help challenge my assumptions about certain players.

What I do like about Pronman is generally he values upside and skill. Which is entirely my view on how you should approach the draft - home run cuts in each round. Draft for franchise altering potential, not guys to play in your bottom 6. Ceiling over floor every time.
