Nonsense. The idea that no one knows anything is malarkey.
It's always a crap shoot every year on each pick, to be sure, but some years draft classes have way more to work with (so way better odds of finding someone good) and some have way less. This year's got shorted considerably because of the NIL money hitting in the way it did, luring some good players from this year to next who would have normally been in this draft (and giving them a chance to hone their skills further).
As a result, there's just not as much to pick from. Next year will be WAY better pickings for teams with a FRP.
