The Penguins have back-to-back first-round picks, who should they take?

Now that the Penguins have back-to-back picks in the first round, who should their two selections be? Patrick and Hunter begin the show discussing a massive defenseman in Radim Mrkta, who could be a solution on the Penguins' blue line and will likely be available at 11th or 12th. The 6'6" blueliner might not be the flashiest prospect, but he does a lot of things right and could be a steady presence for the Pens long-term. Then, they shift the focus to forward, where another rat-style player who plays physical, goes to the net, and could be an asset on the power play in Carter Bear. Finally, they shift back to defense and discuss Jackson Smith, a smooth-skating D-man who plays a higher-risk, but higher-reward kind of game.
