This year i haven't payed any attention to this years draft class as far as quality goes, but i get the impression that its not nearly as good as last years. Is that correct?
Ah!! Great Question...A "Make You Think" Question...
I suspect there is always Value in the Mid + Late Rounds and beyond...
So I will confine my answers to the top 2 or 3 Rounds...
One (Handsome) Man's Answer
QB ~ Last year's was vastly overrated, in my view, but this year is BARREN.
OC ~ Par. Both years are pretty dry, in my opinion.
OG ~ This year's Class is OBSCENELY deep.
OT ~ This year's class is obscenely WEAK.
XE ~ Weaker. Kyle Rudolph
easily trumps Dwayne Allen.
WB ~ Clearly weaker. Last year had
far greater depth at Wing Back.
WR ~
Far weaker. There is no one in this class to match Jones + Green.
RB ~ Par. Richardson is the best in YEARS, but last year's Depth was AMAZING.
***
DT ~ Par.
DE ~ FAR Weaker. Light YEARS weaker.
DF ~ Par.
MF ~ Heh!! Obviously, this year CRUSHES it, even without Teo.
SS ~ Stronger, of course: Mark Barron doesn't get hurt, and 2011 takes it.
FS ~ Par.
Equally rancid.
CB ~ Par.
Summary
With 2012 taking only O Guard, Mid Fielder, and Strong Safety ~ in my opinion ~ and 2011 taking Quarter Back, Offensive Tackle, Flex End, Wing Back, Wide Receiver, AND Defensive End, that's pretty much the equivalent of an ANNIHILATING 42-9 victory for 2011, in my humble opinion!!
That was fun...
