I don't pay a lot of attention to the draft because trying to judge all of
the players in the pool would take too much time and in the end doesn't
really matter all that much.
But from the bit I've read, I keep seeing things like "this isn't a great
year for quarterbacks" "receivers aren't expected to go very high this
year" "not many good cornerbacks" "no star offensive linemen" "linebackers
not expected to star" and so on.
Is all of this basically saying that it's a weak bunch of players this
year?

It's either saying exactly that or this years draft will have alot of
sleepers.

I wasn't necessarily thinking of him when I made the comment. The best
examples I can give off the top of my head are Farve and Brady. Farve
wasn't drafted until the 19th pick in the 2nd round (maybe not the best
example on him but still not a first rounder) and Brady wasn't drafted until
the 6th round (199th).
