The offensive talent of this draft class doesn’t match the defensive talent (which is one reason why some people feel this isn’t a good draft class), but don’t count out the offensive side of the ball just yet. Both the Quarterback position and Receiver position are very deep this year (especially the receivers). While there aren’t a deep class of every down runners there are some power and speed guys that give this class depth. There might not be an offensive tackle worth taking in the top 15, but that doesn’t mean this group can’t produce a number of starters. Which can be said for the interior lineman as well. Not as many ‘elite’ guys, but a good number of starting quality talent. This is just a sample of the talent that can be found in this draft, considering how impressive the overall depth is. While people may get hung-up on the quarterbacks in this class, the wide receivers could be the most special. Depending on who exactly comes out, this could be perhaps the best receiving class ever in the NFL Draft.
