I’ve put this here the last couple years. I like to look at it this way and see where the strengths of the draft are positionally.

If ratings or projection mean anything than Edge and OT are fairly deep
WR is deep but Lions are fine there
And CB looks decent
Thank you so much for doing this every year very helpful

I really like some of those day 3 corners relative to what I’m used to seeing on Day 3. Unsurprising given the depth.
If we did nothing at CB but then added Will Lee and Ceyair Wright in the 5th and 7th I would be elated.

I agree on CB day 3 I like those long Washington CBs
And those late round DB’s that we keep looking at in the prospect visitor thread.
Wouldn’t mind grabbing a couple of them round 6/7

@Kool-aidCornbread agreed. This is great to present. Is there a way to compare this to average depth data? For ex trying to see if WRs consistently run deeper in other years. I have to search your posts for prior years lists. Once again thanks.

This is disappointing because if you really look at it, this year’s draft is a lot weaker on day 3 than last year. And for some reason Brad decided to collect a lot of day 3 picks. At least he is a good drafter…
At this point, given what his stock appears to be, I’d be somewhat aggravated if we didn’t come out of the draft with Will Lee. Now there’s a guy I’ll forgive for a ‘down’ year. I’ll almost always forgive a corner, though.
I feel very special today. Much appreciated
Outside of injury bounce back, year over year variance is a real opportunity especially at CB.
I’m pretty sure he would have been somewhere on day 2 last year.
I do too. I think there was an outside chance of sniffing the 1st. I saw him mocked there a few times at least.
I’m interested to read why you feel this way.
Outside of the truly elite guys, cornerback play quality tends to oscillate more than most to all other positions. I’m not sure the precise reason (dependence on a complex set of conditions out of your control, the ever present threat of even slight lower body soft tissue injuries that limit play, the degree to which the rules favor the opposition 
)
Boy Brugler really didn’t like TeSlaa. Or many pundits for that matter.
I’d say another reason are that interceptions (even PBU’s) are somtimes (often?) pure luck. QB mistake, bounced ball, missed assignment that turns out good, etc.

That was the consensus most places last year. It’s pretty clear Brad was right on this one, but most of the pundits hated him.

Also 11-15 games is just a small sample size for a CB. The opposing team may decide to avoid him. Or they’re having success running the ball down their throats. Or a million other things. That’s why CB really has to be evaluated based on the tape more than ANY statistical metric, and even then you might be talking about a handful of plays per game involving the ball.
