2023 General Draft Thoughts

Still waiting on some important guys to declare:

CJ Stroud
Jordan Addison
Quentin Johnston
Laiatu Latu

massively changes the shape of the draft if they decide to go back to college...
 
I have been out of the loop on scouting draft picks but are there any good sites to get college film? Or should I just search up what I can on youtube?
 
An interesting but unsurprising note. Over time, you might get some more pro ready talent but losing some of the moldability of an underclassman.

It’s also gonna necessarily change one of the draft “stats” that a bunch of analytics and data driven analysts look at which is age - classes are gonna naturally drift older

It really isn’t. Got me feeling like “wtf I’m in round 5 already?!” after 3 picks in.

Think last year with all those 4th round picks f’ed up our mentals lol

this is the 1st time since 2019 we havent had at least 4 picks on the first 2 days of the draft
this is the 1st time since 2004 we have fewer than 3 picks in the first 2 days of the draft

we've been spoilt recently with a bunch of 4th round picks (and day 3 picks generally)... 3 4ths in 2015, 5 4ths in 2016, 3 4ths in 2018, 3 4ths in 2019, 6 4ths in 2022

we've also had 2 1st rounders in 3 of the last 5 draft classes too

all of those factors are combining to make this draft feel so lean lol

I know one way we could add picks to this draft.
 
Agreeing with this narrative when it comes to WR. Still in my limited film phase, and while there are guys I like, there's no one that I absolutely love just yet. Kinda feels like a 2019 draft where there's not a ton of confidence in the WR class but some will get drafted in round 2 and greatly outplay that draft slot... just hard to figure out which ones.

Does this basically scream "trade down" for us if certain players are off the board before our pick?

I would never say one way or another. While WR is questionable, CB looks deep as shit at the top of the draft and there's a chance a guy like that could be available.
