I'm very surprised he would have been graded that high.  Which leads me to believe, perhaps it's simply that none of the guys at the top were rated as high as they usually are in a typical draft.  Certainly he was graded relatively the same (not a significant difference) as anyone left on the board.  I don't think there was much difference between any of the guys in the top 10.  Look at where an injured running back came off the board... 10.

 

No RBs came off in the first round last year at all.  More talent in that draft.

 

Some suggested this wasn't a strong draft at the top.  After last night, I'm thoroughly convinced of that.  I think there will be plenty of "very good" players to come from this draft, but few superstars.

 

The real beauty of this draft, the most impactful additions to our club, are likely to be what magic we can work in the second, third, and fourth rounds.  That's where the heart of this draft seems to be.  There seems to be a lot of good talent left to come off the board tonight, and early Saturday.
