I don't entirely agree with what you have written/implied. The true top end talent isn't there this year, but i think from the 10th pick to the 90th picks are all what would have been 2nd or 3rd rounders in the last few years. So in my opinion the depth is still reasonably ok in relation to recent drafts.
