Way, way, waaaay too early 2023 Draft class thread

[Bronco Billy]

TE breakouts are so random, that I don't think Gilbert can be dismissed. The talent is there, even though everything else is a question mark at this point.

Random bump, but we can officially stop trying to make Arik Gilbert happen. He was just arrested for burglary.

Major lack of urgency and awareness. Falling down my board for sure

The N on the helmet stands for Nowlege.

Funny looking back at the start of this thread now.

2023 draft turned out to be pretty weak IMO.
2022 felt like it had 15/16 1st round picks, 2023 felt like only about 8/9 1st round picks.

Oh well, hopefully 2024 will be back to a great class again.

2024 definitely top-heavy… the question is depth.

Caleb who? It's all about Arch Manning

2024 definitely top-heavy… the question is depth.

For SF I think I agree. The top of the draft is very strong - 2 QBs, 1 WR and 1 TE (all elite).

At RB - it is shaky. But RB tends to round out later. There will be somebody who emerges and is worthy of a high pick for dynasty.

WR is solid - the college game changes quickly but right now the class looks significantly better than '23. At least as many WRs should be selected in the first round, they should go earlier and several of them are better (IMO) than JSN was a a prospect. JSN may turn out to be a better player - I'm just talking about how they profile as draft prospects. There's a reason JSN fell to the 20s. I expect several picked before that in '24. Two of the candidates will be on display in the game tomorrow night. . .

I don't agree with this. If JSN stays in school he's the clear WR2 in this class behind Harrison.

The gap after Harrison is gigantic. It'll be interesting to see who emerges from that Tier 2:

- Troy Franklin
- Rome Odunze
- Xavier Worthy
- Malik Nabers
- Emeka Egbuka
- Mario Williams

I don't know if all of these players are 1st round guys, but I agree that since there were only 4 first-round WRs this year, it shouldn't be that hard to match in theory.

Agreed. In standard/PPR it's very top heavy. There are two elite prospects in Harrison and Bowers. After that, it's a lot of interesting names, but the picture is very unclear, which is normal.

I don't know if we get two first round RBs this year.

Treyveone Henderson looking like the top RB so far… but will need to see it play out.

As a reminder, Gibbs likely wasn’t on anyone’s radar this time last year and now he’s a top 10 dynasty RB. Willing to bet we get another one of those this year also.

My college radar is pretty weak, but even I knew about Gibbs last offseason. Maybe I just lucked into it, but I feel like he was pretty highly touted.

A guy who averaged over 100 ypg from scrimmage in a power 5 conference the previous year wasn’t on your radar? You might need to go shopping for a better radar.

Gibbs was on people's radar when he was at Georgia Tech. He's been well known for years.
