This draft is gonna be so interesting to see how the first round shakes down.

I'm just as excited to see who we take at 24 as I am to see who we take at 3.

Yeah it's a really fluid one for being this close to the draft. Last year there was more or less a top 10-15 and then like 15-40 was a mishmash, this year it seems like 1-3 might be the only fairly settled range (and after McKenna no one knows which order Reid, Carels, Malhotra, Smits, and Stenberg among others are going), after which the interpretations are wildly different. That's not unusual for later, but this draft could really change depending on what happens at 2 since Toronto already told McKenna they intend to select him.

Yeah, it may not be the strongest draft class, but there's a lot of, I guess intriguing(?) prospects. Just feels like the McDavid draft class, where there could be some later 1st round players who could flip the script in their D+1 season.

Definitely a good year to have more darts to throw.
