I like some players more than others but of the players being discussed as the potential 5th overall pick, Sennecke is the only one I’d be legitimately mad at.
Same, excluding of course some really, really off the board pick which is probably not going to happen.
I would not even mind most Ds. I think projecting the D you draft with how he would fit with the nature of our current D prospects is a waste of time. Some of them might be traded, some others might simply not pan out, some might have career-altering injuries, and some others might actually change the way they play the game, as it happens rather often for Ds (see Hamrlik and Stralman who completely changed their game during their career).
I would not even be THAT surprised if a guy like Mailloux ended up more as a two-way guy than a pure offensive D as he develops. He certainly has the size and physical abilities to play more than one kind of game.
People have been burnt dozens of time on this very board in the past because they idealize how their favorite team's prospects will actually develop. It's not set in stone.
You pick the player who's most likely to be an important piece going forward. If that's Dickinson, so be it. I would not even be mad. It just provides us with a surplus that can be changed into a trading chip.
At #5 though, I want a projectable pick and one who is likely to be a finished product some day. Not a shot in the dark.
