Warpath - View Single Post - McCloughan's top draft target was Ryan Kelly

While I don't doubt that Kelly was a target, and probably McCloughan's prime target, I don't think that means that he necessarily had Kelly as the #1 player on the board overall.

He may have been targeting Kelly because he figured player A, B, and C would be gone by then.

The question is whether he had Kelly or Doctson rated higher on his board overall, and probably more importantly, how far apart were they?

I bet that while Kelly was a target, I bet Doctson and Kelly had almost equal grades on McCloughan's board.

I highly doubt he pounded the table in frustration when Kelly got taken, I think he knows he got a good player.
