Comparing Top Prospects to Late 1st and 2nd round guys
Posted: Mon Jun 6, 2022 10:11 pm
The more I deep dive into this draft, the more I'm convinced that a "poor man's version" can be found later in this same draft. I thought it would be a great discussion, and I am very interested in your takes.

Obviously they are not perfect comps, however you get a good gage on what you might want your team to take if they don't grab that blue chip guy you wanted early.
I would bet that at least 5 of the lower tier guys out perform the higher player in a similar role. Just goes to show how much of this is art and how much is science...
