Nice article.

The list of receivers that have excelled under Turner is impressive. 

Quote

The Vikings found Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs with Turner on the staff in Minnesota. 

This statement gives me hope that Turner knows how to find gems and players that fit his offense.  For whatever reason we seemed to be cursed when it comes to drafting WRs.   KB and Funchess aren't bad but they aren't great either.  Hurney sucks at it.  I won't throw too many names because some of you might have seizures but Colbert and Jarrett are a couple.

Note to Hurney:  Let Turner pick the receivers.

don't turn your back on funchess.. I think he will have a huge season under turner along with samuel. They are identical to theilen and diggs.

Funchess isn't KB slow.  He may not be the fastest receiver we have but with the right partner on the other side Funchess can be very effective.  Add in CMC out of the backfield and Samuel in the Slot.  

To me, Turner has weapons already on this Roster and only needs to add one or two and it's light out.

Not only does Jarrett come to mind, but so does the fact that we immediately cut Keyshawn (against his will) because we didn't need him anymore with Jarrett.

I think I just threw up in my mouth..... Thanks for reminding me....lol.

What a stupid move.  About the only thing Jarrett and Keyshawn had in common was they came from USC.

It's really good to have some perspective around here because we have a bunch of rapid fire topic starters who truly have no clue what the NFL is all about.

LOL so Funchess is supposed to be Theilen? 

And I wouldnt say Samuel is anyone until he can actually prove he can stay on the damn field for a season

If they draft a rb like Chubb the will they relegate cmc to strictly a 3rd down back with 5 or 6 touches a game? Cmc says he wants to be an every down back I can’t see it if they get a number one back

I dont think so...you move him around...that was the whole point  of drafting him...

It won't really who the OC is if we don't get more weapons on offense. This is less about Cam Newton and more about better play calling period. It is completely unacceptable to go as many games as we did and have to burn a timeout to get the play in. Olsen, Funch, and McCaffery have a role in this offense but we need more period.

      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
