Athleticism is an important asset for a SS, IMO.  If Howard is outstanding defensively, he can be successful without being more than average offensively.

But that's not a guy you take in the middle of the first round.

Now - is that Howard?  I don't know.  I think he has enough offensive upside to be better than average, and more defensive athleticism relative to position than Almora in CF.  But drafting high schoolers is a crapshoot.
