2014 was a weak draft. The top guys aren’t elite, and the majority of round one are busts or at best mediocre. Ehlers, Larkin and Pasternak are excellent but examples of why the draft was weak - you had to luck out. You couldn’t pick one of 4 guys in a certain range and be confident you had a decent guy.
