I haven’t heard much about the strength of the 2019 class. Good or Bad?

Watching the NFLN Top 10 Draft Moments. I knew it was a bad trade but didn’t think it was this bad.

The Saints traded their first round, third round, fourth round, fifth round, sixth round, and seventh round picks in the 1999 NFL Draft, and their first-round and third-round picks from the 2000 NFL Draft to the Washington Redskins for the fifth overall pick of the 1999 NFL Draft.
This became the biggest NFL trade for one player since 1959.
The Redskins traded the 12th overall pick, the third-round draft pick acquired from the Saints, and their fourth- and fifth-round picks to the Chicago Bears to acquire the seventh overall pick.
The Redskins used the pick to select Champ Bailey, the player they had coveted. They also made a second trade with the Bears, acquiring a second-round pick that allowed them to select Jon Jansen, in exchange for a second round pick and the fifth round pick acquired from the Saints.
THE TRADE:
Traded to New Orleans

first round pick (5th overall, Ricky Williams)
Traded to Washington

seventh round pick (218th overall, later traded to Denver, used to select Billy Miller)

Early consensus is that possibly 5 total Edge and DTs could go in the top 15 in the 1st round.
