This might be the worst draft in the past 5 years ?

I studied the high end to mid end of this class,& it is so weak !

There are zero starting NFL LTs. The CBs have bad holes in their abilities or game. The TEs are below average.

The strong points are in the top 5 WRs & a bunch of slot WRs or #2s. Loaded the DEs & a few good DTs & LBs & centers. 5 to 9 good RBs. 1 safety. 3 QBs. 7 to 10 OGs(converted from tackles). That's it !

The grades on the entire draft class are lower than previous years,so the hawks should wheel and deal to get the best talent in the 3 rounds...seeing as how 4th rounders don't truly contribute to this loaded team anymore. So hard to make even 3rd string on hawks roster these championship days.

Load up on NFL proven free agents while its loaded year. Best year of free agency in years anything below a 7 rate is good via profootball focus. look at rates here...

2013 draft was loaded with guys like Alvin bailey,kilo Alonso,Kenny stills on the 8th page ! So its no wonder why Alvin Bailey is so good in games look at his grade compared to this years Olinemen.

If my fellow fans have any gems or sleepers that can crack hawks line up ? Please tell us

This should be in the draft forum, but I agree. Weakest 1st round I can remember, quite honestly. The later rounds might be a bit better, but I have studied this draft deeply enough to know that.

Yes. It gets even worst after the 1st round. That's why I said hawks should focus on the amazing talent in this free agency year,which is the best in a long time

They'll focus on every area. You say it's the weakest in a long time but good players will still come out of out the middle and later rounds.

I used to worry about the draft depth, but Schneider finds gems where others see coal.

I can't agree with the premise of the OP. I'm seeing quite a lot of depth in this draft. It is at least better than the 2013 draft.
