But the reason for posting it, was to agree with Mavs2021's point that "Large part of the draft is confirmation bias and the scouts will look for players to confirm their initial assessments and those had Brown and Ament as the next tier." Not that every scout has the same ranking, just that those two in particular were up there!
I don't think this is correct though, and if anything draft usually shows recency bias.
Plenty of highly rated prospects ended up being picked very late after bad college season
