To dovetail off of J.I's thread. Even after the F.A period is over and the draft, cuts are coming in droves. D.G loves to pick through the aftermath and find 'gems' at a excellent price. The best deals that will help this team are coming in a few months. Free agency is highly overrated.It puts many teams in a money hole that is hard to justify in most cases.

Sorry for the heading typos..Android thumb

Mods please correct if so inclined.

 People go through "buyer envy" when their neighbors get new cars.  They don't realize the neighbors are going through "buyers' remorse" because they overspent, have 5-years of payments ahead, etc. 

 

  • We are much better on special teams right now.
  • We have upgraded on offense at LT, a position that is hard to fill (and Oher is phase 1 of a process).
  • We are going to use the draft to find a cheap, shiny #2 WR instead of an overpriced, used one.

 

Even if we do nothing more, this team is the best in the South, one of the best in the NFC.  Spending spree?  not needed.

Doubt D.G would make that mistake again. His hand was forced last year due to lack of funds. He had to let guys walk and had little choice. He will be much more selective this time. He already signed the core guys that where free agents. He did a good job this time around.

I just don't understand why we wouldn't go after one of the many proven WRs out there to complement Benjamin. I understand not going after one of the elite guys, but guys like Bowe and Johnson are proven and won't be that expensive.

Is there a team in the NFL that is spending as little as we are at WR?

What WR names are you thinking of?

Good Job?? lmao!!! Like signing a track star who has hardly played ANY football in his life? Or maybe a guy who has a movie about him? Great so he has a fugging movie about him. So What!! Should have been called " The Blind in one eye and can't see out the Oher Side"

      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
