Eat your heart out, Boris Valabik

Waddell already has a first rounder saved for him

2006 - Brian Little - 5'10"
2005 - Alex Bourret - 5'10"

I think he's broken the trend.



Feaster on the other hand:
2006 - Riku Helenius - 6'3"
2005 - Vlad Mihalik - 6'7"
2004 - Andy Rogers - 6'5"
2003 - Mike Egener - 6'5"
2002 - Andy Henrich - 6'4" (60th overall, no 1st rd pick)
2001 - Alex Svitov - 6'3"
2000 - Nikita Alexeev - 6'5"


has taken just 2 players under 6' in the past 6 years
It's actually amazing.

Look at the size of a lot of those picks. 6'4"+ is not uncommon,
