I think how good the draft was last year set expectations super high. And factor in some good signings in 2021 and 2022 it seemed like something was going to happen this year.
But most teams don't have amazing drafts multiple years in a row, you hope for a great class every few years, and surround it by some very good classes.
This year was a lower year talent wise and the chips didn't fall. Levonas has high expectations on himself and good luck to him but the odds are not in his favor. Brewers took a gamble, and swung and missed. I think we were so enamored with how they got Bitonti and Pratt last year when the pundits said they wouldn't sign that we expected him to sign, or maybe the Brewers scouting department thought they would convince him too.
The IFA class has been so good in it's first year - and you have to factor that in.
2021 was a game changing year - Chourio, G. Barrios, Areinamo (IFA), Frelick, Black, CF Rodriguez (Draft) and Shane Smith (UDFA)
2023 could be as well with Pratt, Bitonti, Wilken, Boeve, Yoho, Knoth, Letson etc (draft) Y. Rodriguez and DiTuri (IFA) and KC Hunt (UDFA)
