My impression of the draft, which admittedly hasnt intrigued me as much as the past few years, has better high end talent then say a draft like 2007 (where everyone including Patrick Kane had some kind of question mark), but honestly outside of the Top Tier it really falls quickly.
I honestly think the scouts called it right a few years ago saying it would shape up to be a pretty weak draft year... There is a lot of depth in terms of players being relatively close to each other in terms of abilties now in the 20-60 range, but there just arent a lot of guys that stand out to me as "first round talents" compared to more recent years.
I also think the fact that 1st Round picks were more easily available this season in trades is an indication that teams not drafting high arent super sold on the guys available later in the first.
