I want to say Cole McKinney because his two-way game is elite but ultimately I’d choose Carter Amico. I think the measurables just pop and when you combine with some intriguing latent two-way tools and a righty to boot - I think he’s one of three American defenders with a chance at a top 10 selection.
Emery went in the first round and I think Amico’s floor is higher than where Emery was selected which means if he flashes a bit more offense, rocketing up the rankings seems pretty likely. The question here would be does he show enough for top ten. I think he can.
Lot of intriguing big boy American defenders in this draft. Hensler, Amico, Fiddler, Rombach…Trethewey is the runt of the bunch and he’s very sturdily built.
