No reason to get Eichel, all it would do is decimate an already thin skill level group. We'd finish bottom of the barrel with Eichel and he'd request a trade out of town. We just need to let BA get us some upgrades on our current assets and get exceptionally better at drafting. Drafting "talent" is the end all be all of this franchise. Without it we're doomed.
Armstrong has never drafted a 1C and it would be naive to assume he could in the future without premium picks. There is no way BA's 5 year plan was to build strictly based on the draft especially when he won't have a first round pick until his 3rd year. He needs to show some progress before the end of the 4th year to even justify an extension for the 5th year option.
