I wish I could remember where I read this, but I remember reading an article that implied that the talent drop off after the potential first 2 round prospects was significant in this draft...any thoughts on if this might be true?

Overall I'd say this is a weak draft ... and I've been following the draft for over 30 years as a complete college junkie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglesfan0075 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Well we technically didn't select at 10 after all 😂 with that trade up from 10 to 9. I thought it was silly at first, but I guess there probably were multiple teams in the mix considering a potential trade up to 9 for Jalen Carter. Off the field concerns aside, Carter is arguably the best player in the draft, so to get him at 9 it's worth the gamble with our strong veteran leadership in the locker room and re-uniting him with his Georgia teammates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
