I was actually surprised to find out we scooped up Shaq Richardson.  Remember him from his college play and liking him prior to that draft. 

Four NFL teams haven't liked him. He was cut twice and dumped on 2 other practice squads. Don't see him sticking. OTOH McClain was out of football when we picked him up, and if Williams and/or Young have any real talent they haven't shown it yet.

Yeah I'm not banking on him doing much.  Same deal to when I found out Cobi Hamilton was on our squad.

Williams is a special teams ace. He'll make it as the 5th CB. McClain is gone.

Williams is a far cry from a special teams ace.  More like special teams disaster.  He was responsible for 82 yards in penalties last season, and he only sees the field on ST.

He's also responsible for a number of good tackles on ST. He only sees the field on ST because he is ST ace. I'm not saying there isn't an upgrade to be had, but let's not pretend he didn't contribute on ST which, honestly, is all your hoping your 5th CB has to do.

    • 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
