I dont know how many time that it has to be said. There is no way that DGB was on our board. Just no way.

But yeah, we'd probably have picked Humphries in the first had both been available

 

Kind of like theirs was no way we were trading up?

gettleman Said in his presser that their guys Was Being tanken fast and it Was time to make a move.

Do you Think he would go out and say 'looking at the way the board fell, the organisation decided to change it views on domestic violence.' After picking DGB?

Gman was likely working the phones well before the DGB pick. Even if he wasn't, it's probably all a big coincidence. It had nothing to do with DGB, and everything to so with grabbing Funchess.

Gman's hands were tied by Jerry Richardson on DGB.

We have 5 picks left.

We've added Ginn, first and foremost. That being said, we worked out Jamison Crowder and Marquez Clark, with 4.4 speed, maybe even 4.3 with the latter. Stephon Diggs has 4.4 speed, as well as The McBride who ran two 4.41s at the Combine.

There is still some legit speed out there, some with special teams ability to boot.

They never said the draft was about speed, that was the offseason and getting Ginn added speed. Added speed to ST as well.

Funchess isn't slow, he has a deceptive speed and didn't run well in Indy. He plays fast and that's what matters.

      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
