I believe this should be free, but I’ll add some tidbits in case it’s not. No Ceilings continues to be one of my go-tos for draft info. [They did a great season breakdown on Scoot here if you’re interested](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm1PdQfWr4Q&t=119s)

There’s a lot more info in there, they explore quite a few prospects for both picks.

I like the general concept of having one “high floor” pick and one “high ceiling” pick. If we end up with Knecht + Salaun/Williams, I would be pretty happy. Salaun has a ton of weaknesses so I really do not like drafting him at #7, but at #14 he is the perfect guy to take a flier on and hope he works out.
I am a lot higher on Buzelis and Holland than these guys are, but I could definitely be wrong. Wouldn’t be the first time

Zaccharie would be nice
Risacher or Knecht at 7 and I’m very happy.
