Part of the issue last year was the same problem we had other years with the misbelief that: this draft is so deep at (insert position) you can get top talent at that position in the third.
And that's almost never true. 20 years ago? Probably. There was more of a tendency to draft skills players high and if it was a deep class at other spots, then, sure, you could get an outstanding player in the mid second. But the way teams tend to draft and evaluate is much different now. There's always going to be qbs that go too high because it's still a position that gets hard for teams to predict how those players transfer to the NFL. But I don't think it's the same days as when a top 5 college running back was a lock for a top 15 draft spot just because he was a college standout.
And this year, we're picking almost last each round, which makes it much harder for guys who don't watch college football much to have an opinion.
