I look at this draft as one guy really above the others, then three or four guys that are that next tier that have the capabilities to be major difference-makers if they reach their ceiling, and then there are about eight guys that I consider pretty close and after that it's an absolute crapshoot.
Like, I look at Bennedict Mathurin and I think he COULD be something like Khris Middleton, but will he be that good? Probably not.
I like that Dragan guy you posted. Eastern European guys very often have a lot of grit which is sort of an "intangible". I also like Banchero obviously and then Keegan, Patrick Baldwin, and Jalen Duren (edit to add Jovic whoops!). Those guys all look to have the tools. Skills can be taught, physical gifts cannot. I should add I'm ignoring guys under 6'7". Since the combine hasn't happened if some of these 6'6" guys have insane 7'4" wingspans or something maybe I would reconsider.
