This years Draft deeper than last years???

I've seen lots of post comment on how this years draft is weak talent wise.

I think this years draft is deeper infact than last years draft which was deemed best in the last few years.

Look at the number of good qb prospects coming out,where locker would have been number one last year he's looking at third best right now.

A class that includes Luck,Mallet,Locker,Cam Newton,Kellen moore,Ponder,Devlin and other elite talents.

The running back position is shallow and not as deep as last season.

The wr position has the potential to be one of the best ever with green,jones,baldwin looking like first rounds.

you have talents like micheal floyd,Blackmon,Broyles guys who any other year would have been first rounders.

The OL isnt so great this year but the Defensive ends are pretty good.

You have Bowers,Clayborn,Quinn,Bailey and others making it elite.

Solid dts and linebackers with great cornerbacks.

With the right picks in place team could make vast improvements this year.

I just wanted to see what the board thought about depth in this years class.

Last year was by far deepers than this year's. Locker would have been a 2nd round pick last year. Don't believe the media on draft value.. they are not always right. Sam Bradford would have been the #1 pick regardless if Locker came out. In fact, Luck and Mallett would be the only 2 1st round QBs that you just named.

The draft is fairly top heavy this season with not a lot of depth.

that's the feeling I'm getting....we have two third rounders (compensation for Pep) so don't be surprised if we move back up into the second round

We can't trade comp picks, so I'm not sure what we would have to give up to get back into the second would be worth it. See Everette Brown.

You are either ten years old,are legally retarded, or you just don't watch any football and just look at stats. (that still wouldn't explain your third grade writing)

the fact that you said certain positions aren't that deep this year just clarifies that last year was in fact deeper. there was no real weak position last year, because all the best players declared for the draft early so they could get payed in the event there was a rookie cap installed or there is no football next year.

Every position was deep last year. there was second round talent and even some third round talent that could have been first round talent any other year. poo was wild.

Just because i don't know the exact numbers on those positions. last years class was not good at lb at all.

i agree with this.

thats a lot of the reason i've said we should trade back into the 2nd and then trade away all the picks we are allowed to trade after the 3rd round for vets.

with the exception of the top tier of talent, this isn't an incredible draft at all.

are you implying Hurney is scared to trade away future picks? haha I didn't say I agreed with it I just said don't be surprised

Can you do us all a favor and never post again? :thumbsup:

All of your posts are fact-less and opinionated with no intelligent material whatsoever.

This year looks good for CB and WR, and as mentioned is pretty topheavy. After the top 10 talent drops off like crazy. There's going to be alot of reaching for players that aren't really worth the spot they're taken at. And the lineman class as an overall group looks terrible.

I totally agree. If we trade back from #1 (if we get it) I hope we get some picks next year in return:yesnod:

Last years draft was reminiscent of the 04 draft, where we got Gamble, and a ton of All Pros went in the first, and throughout.

This years draft reminds me of the draft of a year after: some nice players, but weak overall. Also, two good players who play positions not really worth the top three overall, went in the two and three respectively lol--Ronnie Brown and Braylon Edwards. Sorta sounds like what could happen this year with Peterson and Green.

One good thing we may have going for us is that the early enrollee Pac-10 QB who SHOULD have went no 1 overall that year is now the best QB in the NFC, so maybe history will somewhat repeat itself...somewhat. Y'know as long as we dont screw up like San Fran and take the overrated running QB who cant throw

    • Your thoughts? I don't think the trade up or even down value system stays exactly in place this year. Look at all the bad trades that hurt teams that give away too much (49ers for Lance, even us w/the Bears set us back). What trade up except Mahomes/KC was it really a great trade for the team giving up a lot? Same with trading down. Teams will know you don't want to pick and they won't be giving the store to move up because there is not a generational talent to do that for. Now, I believe these possibilities.  The Giants probably won't take QB-Sanders at 3, it's too much pressure if it doesn't work. They don't really need another edge rusher with Carter. I can see them possibly saving face, trade down to even the Panthers at 8 but not asking for a kings ransom. A 1st round swap, a 3rd and 4th and maybe next years 2nd and 4th could be enough without giving up too much. The Giants save in pay and in public opinion and then they can take Sanders or even another QB. For the Panthers to drop down, it has to mean their top 3 picks are not there. Do they take TE-Warren if he drops in their lap at 8 (I do like that)? I believe they would love to drop back but again I don't think teams will pay a lot to move up unless they want a QB before the Saints (our only hope for a good value).  I'm not picking a player, just thinking of the draft in general and value. Reaching doesn't work and more and more teams are realizing that. 
    • With the new DL, we should be better at edge by simple addition.   What player would have the biggest impact on the Panthers?  I still see the plan to trade back and take Emmanwori if we can find a trade partner.  Why, you ask?  S is a huge need and they have really only looked at 1 visits/meetings.  We will try to trade up for Princely in the second.  A WR in the third  (Bech or Noel).
