That actually makes me look forward more to drafting #1 or #2.
It looks like there's an actual contest now as to who will go first overall, and those guys are going to have in the back of their minds and want to compete for that honour. Probably Verhoeff and McKenna will both have a little sharper focus on improving their game because of it. If so, getting either one of those players will be a big lift for whichever teams have that chance.
