We still found what look like solid developmental players and we never reached for a player.

Saying this draft "looks like a draft to compare to 2017" before any player has taken the field is practically the definition of rose colored classes. That was a historically great draft because of how the players performed after taking the field. No draft can compare until results are in and such results can never be taken for granted. Its like saying that "taking off the rose colored glasses" Spencer Rattler is the next Tom Brady of 5th Round QB picks and the 2024 Saints are looking like the 2009 Saints.
