That's a #1 starter in his best life. But time has also reminded me that this is a high, high risk profile.
The rest of these guys probably all fall short of that kind of upside.
I don't see much difference in Langeliers, Manoah, Bishop from an upside/risk perspective.
Carroll seems like someone who would go late first or second round in a lot of drafts. I don't quite get where that hype came from.
