That’s right. A couple weeks ago, my mock had Detroit taking Drysdale because if they reached last year for Seider, they won’t let a talent like Drysdale pass them this year.

It is also why I laugh at all the media that pretends to know what NYR, LA, OTT and DET prefer. They don’t. Those decisions are kept well secret and anything you hear, whether it be from GM’s themselves, isn’t the truth. That would be like Cadbury giving out their secret. Nothing to gain and everything to lose.

We all know who the Top 3 will be, it's no secret. Just the order of 2-3 is the question. Everything after that is a question mark.

I wouldn’t like taking Drysdale at 5 if Raymond is still on the table and if you actually believe Stutzle goes at 3, Raymond is a real possibility to be there at 5. Consider that before being happy with Drysdale at 5. It should change your opinion on the matter.

Yeah, I have Raymond ahead of Drysdale, I just wouldn't mind either.

For me, realistically, Raymond is the only choice at 5 if he is still available. Drysdale would be a mistake in this scenario.

I see what you are saying though. You like both. But at 5, you might have to decide between the 2, and I have already.

As I guessed months ago, in Raymond’s D+1, he is already proving why.

He isn't proving anything right now, they haven't even started the regular season. Not much will change between now and the draft for team rankings because a lot of guys are not playing at all.

Teams would be crazy to not use the advantage of seeing a D+1 season before the actual draft. This has never been seen before. Being complacent of this advantage would be plain stupid.

I agree, but for example, if you like Perfetti more than Raymond and Raymond has a great start to the year, I don't think you'd move Ryamond up simply because of this recent play, because you had no chance to see where Perfetti is at now.
