The class looks as good as last years, and I know it’s hard to believe, but may even be a little better. I can’t wait to see who we pair up with Hill and Hardman next year. It’s going to be fun.

Veach and even Dorsey have shown in the past that they're not afraid to pass completely on strong and deep positions in a particular draft if there are other players they like better. I imagine that was the case this year, where all of the WRs kept pushing down other players they liked better, so they took those guys instead.
I wasn't pissed about them doing it this year, but I have been critical of them in the past (like in 2014 and a couple of those super deep CB years). However, now I may have to rethink that. There's something to be said for a do-the-opposite strategy when it comes to things like a draft. When other teams zig, you zag. It frees up your strategy and makes it so you're not always trying to predict the tier drop offs.
Of course, I don't think they're doing it on purpose necessarily. It's probably just coincidence.
