I was probably higher on Drysdale than anyone. I had him higher at the draft than Byfield and Stuetzle. I didn't view it as particularly close either. I think he just had a lot less question marks than everyone aside from Lafreniere. I'm not sure I ever think he'll be a top 5-10 defensemen in the NHL because he probably does lack dynamic offensive or defensive ability, but I'd be really surprised if he's not a top 20-30 defensemen. His game is very projectable to the NHL between his skating, sense, playmaking, puck moving, and compete level. There is no real weakness in his game either. He's the same height as Makar and Fox, two guys whose below-average size does not impact their ability to be elite NHL'ers. I think he was a very safe pick. I really didn't see it as a defensible that five guys went before him.
