If the general consensus is that you are drafting a 6'7 Chris Tanev if he even hits then I'd much rather they swing for Parekh or Yakemchuk etc. If Silayev was 6'2 then would teams be looking at him as top pick?
I am admittedly pretty biased against drafting giants outside of goalies. Hedman is the only player I can even think of that I would classify as elite that is close to Silayev's size. Most of the quick reading I have done on Silayev is that he has limited offensive upside which doesn't make him an appealing pick.
