With 3 weeks to go, thought it would be fun conversation to use grinding the mocks to spur some analysis of the skill positions players that we'll be looking at in the first couple of rounds of rookie drafts. Obviously there's going to be a few more RBs and WRs in the mix for dynasty/fantasy. I was under the impression that these had a decent track record. This seems to only go to 50 which is a little different from what I thought it would be.

My commentary:
Stroud/Young still a tossup in terms of talent evaluations but leaning Stroud to CAR which matches the buzz out there.
Richardson to Colts seems like it has a lot of smoke. Hope for you all out there in Indy that Waldman is right.
I'm not a Levis believer so we'll see who takes the plunge. I'm betting he falls further than this.
Hooker's been getting a bit of buzz lately. Wouldn't be surprised to see him creep up the board.
4 mid to late 1st grade WRs feels about right with this class. I'd guess JSN pulls a little further ahead in the coming weeks.
Addison/Flowers is a tier. Wilson/London/ Olave and Jamo all went before 14 that so the NFL seemingly agrees that this class isn't quite on par with last year's class. Brugler has 'em ranked pretty different (Addison #19, JSN #21, Hyatt #27, QJ #29, Flowers #39, Downs #42, Scott #48) from this so curious to see how the NFL sees it.
TEs feels like there's going to be a lot of good options. Pick your flavor. All around? Massive receiving upside? Huge? Athletic? We got 'em always hearing patience is key to picking TEs but who's got time for that? I have a buncha guys that you'd have to best ball them to get a decent score in a given week.
RBs, Bijan post in the other thread. Lotta Buzz. Gibbs early to mid 2nd. Totally agree with
@rockaction about Hall/Bijan draft capital delta seeming in retrospect like a bit of a whiff by the NFL. Or an overstatement of Bijan's talent. Like what would Bijan have to do to look better than how Breece looked for those few weeks before the ACL? Curious to see how Charb and the gang fall on day 2.
