The old adage with the draft is the higher you pick, the easier the decision gets. Well, throw that out the window this year. Outside of the consensus top two picks, we get a wide spectrum of names that could theoretically be called in any order.

Are these players all close enough in skill to be in the same tier? Nope. For this year’s draft, there is a lot of smoke around certain teams drafting for positional need. It’s something most teams can’t resist, even if they have been burned by it.

Having multiple options at your position is both a good and bad thing.
