All around it doesn't seem like there are many players to get excited about in this class. QB class is embarrassingly weak, pass rushers aside from a few names are weak, a few ok corners and only like 2 decent free safeties and TE's.
It's weak at the top but it's deep throughout, except at our positions of need. LB, FS, TE. Such is the luck of the draw.
I don't think this class has a lot of the top end talent like last year for example, but I think it is deeper if you are satisfied with solid players and not necessarily star players.
A guy I find intriguing is Shaq Thompson. Find the right place for him and he'll be a stud. I think he's a safety all the way.

How is pass rushers weak? There are 6 guys with top 15 talent, and decent guys with 2nd and 3rd round grades including a guy with 18 sacks last year.
last year only 4 pass rushers went in the whole 1st round, Clowney, Mack who had the smaller school question, Barr who questions due to limited time at LB, and Dee Ford.
These guys this year only questions are if they are 3/4 or 4/3 guys, all these guys are extremely productive and talented
QB and TE is weak, this draft is pretty deep and most experts agree

It just seems like most of the pass rushers in this class are speed rushers to me in the vein of Dion Jordan. In the NFL it's important but you got to know how to use your hands which is why a guy like Williams (I believe) is gonna kill it at the next level.
Pass rush is not weak at all.
And this looks like the best running back class I can ever remember.

Most years there is only gonna be one Clowney or L.Williams type prospect DE, I looked two more drafts back, it was Jordan, Mingo and Ziggy in the top 10, then the draft before that no pass rusher went in the top 15.
The fact that this year has 6 is about the best your gonna get

Yup its been a while since I liked this many RB prospects

Strong safety. I only care about free safeties early in the draft.
You really can't tell how strong or weak this draft class is until these soon to be rooks get a couple seasons under their belt. To really say otherwise is just a guesstimation..
Rich Eisen's official 40 yard dash time was 6.1 today.

Cleveland trades up to 3 for him.

well duh, everything is at this point.
Quarterback weak class, weak class overall.
Pass rush certainly is weak if you're looking for RDE.
Opposite if 3-4 needing an OLB rusher.

I was directing my statement to these so called "football prophets"..
Im not as in the know as some people on here but I do feel like I know a good chunk of names this year so to me that makes it on the deep side of talent. I mean I know folks who will slip into the 3 and 4 round, for me thats good.
