Depending on the juniors, the talent from 33-50 may be as good as the 16-32 range.
I was thinking about this a bit more. So I took a look at the positional breakdown over the past 4 drafts, and then at the likely positional depth for 2013.
From 2009-2012 the rough positional breakdown in the first 2 rounds was as follows:
QB: 17 taken in the first 2 rounds, for an average of just over 4/year
RB: 20 taken in the first 2 rounds, for an average of 5/year
WR: 30 taken in the first 2 rounds, for an average of 7.5/year
TE: 7 taken in the first 2 rounds, for an average of just under 2/year
OT: 30 taken in the first 2 rounds, for an average of 7.5/year
OG/C: 17 taken in the first 2 rounds, for an average of just over 4/year
DT: 28 taken in the first 2 rounds, for an average of 7/year
DE: 20 taken in the first 2 rounds, for an average of 5/year
DE/OLB: 25 taken in the first 2 rounds, for an average of just over 6/year
LB: 20 taken in the first 2 rounds, for an average of 5/year
DB: 41 taken in the first 2 rounds, for an average of just over 10/year
That works out to just under 64 players taken in the first 2 rounds/year, which is about right (New Orleans had no 2nd round pick in 2012). There is some ambiguity about how to classify defensive players, but the numbers generally add up.
The 2013 draft seems to be particular deep at the QB, DT, DE/OLB and DB positions. The #4-7 DTs, 4-6 DE/OLBs, and 6-10 DBs might go in the 2nd round, for example. The list might include guys like Jesse Williams, John Jenkins, Tyrann Mathieu, Eric Reid, Robert Lester, TJ McDonald, Michael Buchanon, Dion Jordan, Margus Hunt, William Gholston, Bjoern Warner, Khaled Holmes, Jonathan Cooper and Joseph Fauria, among others. Some of those will undoubtedly end up in the 1st round, but not all of them. It's probably going to be a much stronger 2nd round than last year, and one of the strongest in recent memory. Again, a lot will depend on how many underclassmen declare.
