Teddy Bridgewater, Johnny Manziel, Greg Robinson, Taylor Lewan, Jake Matthews, Khalil Mack, Sammy Watkins, Justin Gilbert, Mike Evans, Odell Beckham Jr., Aaron Donald, Eric Ebron, Anthony Barr, Blake Bortles, Brandin Cooks, Zack Martin, Timmy Jernigan, Louis Nix, Xavier Su'a-Filo, Ha-Sean Clinton-Dix, Kyle Fuller, Darqueze Dennard, Jadeveon Clowney, CJ Mosley, and Marquise Lee. That's my 2 dozen, plus 2.

In my opinion, a lot of that supposed lack of separation in talent is mere media hype. For example, Teddy Bridgewater going in the 2nd round is simply bullcrap. He's just too talented a player at too important of a position to last that long. Same with any talk of Morgan Moses going in the 3rd. After the draft, I'll revisit this thread(if I even remember, that is), and see how many of those I listed were actually drafted in the 1st.

I mentioned "mere media hype", but it's sometimes difficult to separate that from what really is worth believing, since the vast majority of my information comes from the media. Common sense is a helpful tool.
