Damn the 2021 class went from being possibly one of the best draft classes since 2011 to being undoubtedly having a worse ceiling than the 2018 and 2020 draft (who may people see as one of the weakest classes).
I think the 2021 class might not have a clear superstar potential player (like Haliburton or Edwards in 2020), but it still has a nice depth. Quite a few good players with good potential.
