This draft vs last year...
So I haven’t heard much talk about comparing this draft class vs last draft class, as a whole. I am kind of confused as to why. While I have heard this draft is a little less deep(beyond pick 100 or so), I haven’t heard as much talk As I expected about how much better the first round is... last year was a “historic” WR draft, and the top 3 guys are all better than anyone from last year: The top OT is much better, the top QB is much better the top TE is much better...
Are there any positions this isn’t the case?
Chase Young for sure. All of the DL to be honest.
Surtain vs Okudah?
Parsons vs Simmons?

Re: This draft vs last year...
I think a lot of the talent in this draft is more depressed because of the Covid shortened season and opt outs and the Covid restrictions for scouting.
There are more unknowns and there is less opportunity for the scouting/draft media to develop consensus on prospects and the lack of consensus makes it seem like there is less talent.
I think the WR is just as good in quality and depth...i think the OT class is good OL as whole...and the the Edge rushers are deeper but there isn't a Chase Young"Those corners...and those safeties are going to be one-on-one... and we got to make them pay for it," Harbs
"I think he’d be[Lamar] the greatest player in the history of the game,” Young said

Re: This draft vs last year...
The top 5 picks are expected to be QBs. That's unprecedented. Even in Lamars year the 5 qbs taken in the first went from 1 to 32. It's that because it's a good QB class or there's just so many QB needy teams willing to trade up and move on sooner than years past.
I've read it's a good year for Tackles and lineman in general, which is great for us. Hopefully we get a lot of mid round steals, deepen that OL.

Re: This draft vs last year...
Good front offices and scouting staffs should really pay dividends this year for reasons already mentioned.. I think the draft is much deeper than people are giving it credit. Especially in Safety, CB, WR and Edge/OLB. Regarding QB’s, don’t be surprised to see Mond and Frank’s drafted in the 2nd round. I think Mond could go before the kid from Florida Trask.due to his mobility.

Re: This draft vs last year...
This is a draft to trade back and pick up another 2nd or early third if possible. There are going to be a bunch of good picks available and adding another is worth it unless a top player on our board is at 27

Re: This draft vs last year...
This will be among the most difficult drafts ever to evaluate. Expect teams to be vastly different in their evaluations. There is always a ton a criticism when guys not on Kiper's or these draft guys list go early or guys on the lists drop. We're going to see a lot of that this year. The consensus just isn't there for obvious reasons
If ever there was a draft to trade out of for a veteran player or future picks it's this one. That's why we're seeing a lot that happening.

Re: This draft vs last year...
Not a big fan of Fields but seeing all this negative about work ethic and does he love the game, reminds me of Lamar's draft year. No idea where these rumors are coming from. I don't think he would have made it as far as he has if he didn't work hard at it
