That's true every year. Few hundred guys get drafted. Talk about a strawman. This draft is weak up top. Outside of WR poor all around. Has nothing to do with Mariota.

One Scout's take --
"I love this draft, I absolutely love it," he said. "This is a scout's draft. If you are the average GM and you didn't go see these kids play a lot this year and you were watching film all year, you're screwed. You have to have watched the tape all season. You have to have really seen these kids, and there is no way you can find the time to watch all 12 games on them in the off season. You have to have seen these players develop all year long to have the right track on them.
"This is my kind of a draft. Am I saying this group is loaded with Pro Bowlers? No. But there are some really good players who are going to go on the second and third day who, I'm telling you, are going to be better than a lot of kids who go on the first day. You just have to know where to find them."

exactly. just because there is no Andrew Luck or JJ Watt (11th overall pick, by the way) it LOOKS weak. that is not the case.
