This years players in last years draft?

#1

A podcast I was listening to was trying to convey just how bad they thought the top of this years draft was so they played a little game with the presumed top 5 picks in this draft. They determined Thibodeaux probably goes in the 8-10 range and no one else in this draft would go in the top half of the first round.

On a big board I think I agree, but looking at the actual draft order I think it's even worse than that. 

Thibodeaux should go 8 or 9 but the Panthers and Broncos (this is before Chubb's injury and Miller trade) specifically were loaded at pass rusher so they don't take him. He might go 10 or maybe the Giants don't trade down and take him at 11. Hutchinson probably falls to the 20s. I think Jaelen Phillips was easily better than him minus the concussion issues. Neal should definitely be behind Slater, maybe he goes to the Jets at 14 or more likely the Raiders at 17. Stingley drops below Horn and Surtain because of his injury history, but it's not as scary as Farley's injury history so he probably goes to the Titans at 22 instead of him. Hamilton is the wild card since there was no safety near his level in last years draft. Maybe the Cowboys or Jets take him. 

Obviously that is a ton of speculation, but it was sobering to see just how bad this class is. Anyone disagree?
