But who is ‘the best guy’? Nobody knows that with any precision.

This is the least scouted draft in history. Most of these kids played curtailed schedules, and some didn't play at all. What scouts do agree on, apparently, is that there is very little high-end talent. The difference in value between pick #12 and #18 is probably less than it has ever been or will ever be again.
