Did this 1st round feel weak?

Maybe it's because we didn't have a pick, but it felt like in general the 1st round draft was weaker than normal.
Whether it was trades or the players, it felt like the value was "less" like Most of these guys are 2nd or 3rd rounds in a normal year. Even the trades didn't have overwhelming value like previous years.

I think our scouts identified this a year early and saw it coming. I thought it when we made the trade last year.

No. It’s just that it was dominated by guys who play o line/ front 7. There weren’t a bunch of huge name skilled guys or huge qb names.

More than half the round was OL/DL, which fans don’t really know about, with 2 TE.
Only two WR and one RB, which fans usually focus on.

Seemed like a combination of:
1. Less overall star power
2. A lot of lineman being taken
3. Saints not having a 1st round pick
For some reason I’m not too bummed that we didn’t have a pick at the end of the first as the whole round was a bit of a dud. A coveted O-Lineman would have been great, but Saints trading back would have been just as likely this year I’m sure..

You never really know how things will play out, but I look at two things:
1) The value of return for draft picks this year seems lower than normal.
2) The comparisons of players to other years seems weaker for the most part. There was no group of four or five highly rated QBs. There was no S. Barkley, Gurley or Zeke Elliot, there was no Calvin Ridley, Corey Davis or Mike Williams. The tackle class is mostly RTs although there was a good group of guards this year. The DE and OLBers are comparable to other years like Chubb, Garrett and R. Smith. DT was an okay group. CB and S was much weaker than we usually see. I don’t think these guys will be busts, there just seems to be a bunch of guys and few if any superstars.
Also, next year is full of QBs which drives the market rate of draft picks.

The most meh 1st round I've ever seen. It'll be some third or so rounders like a Kamara that blow things up in the league.
