Listening to Conole on Road to the Draft talking about this years draft pool. Paraphrasing as close as possible
"After the first 4 or 5 picks, the draft really opens up. Clubs could see kids they have early on their draft boards slide, or kids that go earlier than some clubs might expect.
There's some top talent, but their skill set isn't kicking and ball use. Their weapons are elsewhere, while skills are an area for growth, for clubs to work on. The elite players aren't fantastic ball users."
