I think it’s a deep draft…just lacks the typical blue chip power at the top half of the first round. And of course this happens in one of the rare years that we pick in the top 10. 🙄
^^Agree more with this than the OP's assessment. It's a draft that's deep in "moneyball" type talent. No obvious elites in the first round, but a lot of depth pieces available a bit later on.
And I'd bet against a QB at 9. There'd have to be one heck of a con job going on with what the FO is doing publicly versus whatever talks are going on behind closed doors.
