Well, then, are players 21-30 as good as the usual 21-30 in an average draft, or are they terrible too? What about the second rounders? If it's relative crap all the way through - e.g. the player picked at whatever pick is going to be way worse than the player selected on the average at that same pick in an average draft - then there's no point whatsoever in trading into it or having a pick at all.
Every single talking head I've listened to talk about this draft have said it's one of the worst drafts of all time. 1-58.
Does that mean there aren't any good players? No. I think there will be at least a few solid guys to come out. But the fact there's no consensus top 4-5 guys 2 days before the draft is at least pretty telling to me. Further all the 2nd round/late 1st round guys can go anywhere from 20-45 is also a sign. Usually there's a pretty line of demarcation of solid guys to reaches at this point.
