It may be a little early, but I have two questions:
How deep does the quality go in the upcoming draft? I know there are still unknowns like who declares and who stays. How does NIL money affect the decisions? etc. etc.
We talk a lot about getting draft picks in the "Trade and FA" discussion thread, but how valuable are any picks outside of the top 10? The last draft was originally thought to be a deep draft, but NIL money let a lot of lower 1st and 2nd round players to un-declare and go back to earn $$ playing college ball. So I'm struggling with how you can take a pick in trade during late January and have any sense of the real value before May or June. Unless it's a high lottery pick, that is.
