In YAC we are ranked 29th but if you take away the running backs and Greg Olsen only the Chiefs are worst, and that's mainly due to with Alex Smith refusal to throw to his receivers

 

 

So I hear a lot of people saying what's the point of drafting a receiver if Cam has no time, well what's the point of drafting a OT if nobody gets open? the last two games outside of Bell the line has played decent yet we have still struggled, the receivers get no separation and when they do, they get tackled immediately

 

I would have no problem with picking a OT in the first round but if Cooper is there we have to pick him, none of the OT coming out this year are getting high praise

I think it plays more on play design as it was just mentioned. Shula does not design plays to the strengths of our players. IMO, He is using Jericho and he was using Avant wrong. I really think one of our biggest issues is Shula. He has never been a good OC. I just don't get why our staff can't see that. If you know our o line is not that great, why not call more screens or quick slants. It is very elementary. YAC is a big number to look at. Everytime we make a completion, our guy is immediately tackled. With the type of season we are having, it is hard to pin it on just one unit.

I really hope Cooper is available and we pick him in the draft. Not only do we need a speedy guy, but we need a playmaker in the worst way. Sad, because we also need offensive lineman in the worst way as well. We've got a bunch of 3 and 4 receivers out there, except Benji.

A lot of that has to do with ball placement. If Cam could put the ball between the numbers most of the time then the receivers wouldn't have to stretch out or jump up and could then run.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
