I can't say either way, but just because we're picking at 4 this year doesn't mean we automatically get someone better than Monahan.

When scouts talk about weaker years it usually is referring to depth. How quickly the first round starts to thin out. Often times fans assume it refers to the top end but that usually isn't the case. This year I believe it is considered a weak draft because after the decent top end it drops off pretty quickly.
My feeling is that the top end is pretty good this year but without any superstars. Very appealing top 6-8 guys.
