The reason thats been key is you usually end up picking the position that is deepest in blue chip talent.
Every year seems to have a couple positions that are stacked with so much talent that the guys going end of the first early second are just as good as the guys going mid first.
For example last year you could get Michael Thomas in the second who is arguably just as good if not better as corey coleman or josh doctson as WR was deep with good ones imo.
this year it seems obvious that DB is that position, just based on this list you have 10-14 possible legit playmker dbs, each w the ability to be the best of the bunch ie Desmond King could be just as good as Marcus Lattimore aa u commonly see this list flip flopped.
DE serms strong as well, and similar, Marcus Walker could be just as good as Bennett from what ive seen, I just think well most likely miss the cut off on this position, but either way, we could use another db and/or pass rusher so if other teams go heavy on one and leave is only the second tier , we can take from the top tier of the other position.
Gotta love the depth at db and de though!
