For the most part I agree, but give them more picks.
And I think they need to poke at how to hit more in the 2nd round. We are dealing with a small number of picks, but it seems to me that perhaps they have been too safe with those picks. I'm not one to get tunnel vision on a certain prospect in the draft, but Stromgren over The Stank, and Ronni over Lane Huston (though they may have been worried about a Re-Fox) is puzzling to me. I liked the Morin pick so perhaps shifts under Conroy.
For me the 2nd is the precise time for home run swings. Because their are always guys in the 2nd that have high end potential, but likely have a flaw that causes them to drop. But picking those guys is how you end up with a Brayden Point, Nikita Kucherov, Adam Fox (3rd I know), etc.
