Pretty sure honka was picked right around where he was ranked aswell .
Depends on which rankings you went off i guess.
Most had Honka at 20 or lower.
Mckenzie for instance had larkin at 12, honka at 20,
Button is the only 1 i recall having Honka higher than larkin, and he still had Honka at 18.
Iss had honka at 40 but pretty much everyone else had him in the 20s.
Same with tufte, though he was taken about where he was ranked, some lists had him above guys like howden and Thompson, some had him below them. Mckenzie had him in the low 20s (20 or 21 iirc)
I wouldn't consider him the bpa at the time, but he was in the mix according to most, though I'm 100% sure it was because of him being 6'6. Which artificially inflated his ranking. His HS numbers were great but his ushl numbers were pretty poor, which is usually indicative of someone who can use his size advantage against lower quality competition and lacks talent... but you know, can't teach size
