Nice. Not gonna lie, I hated the trade and hated the pick but I hope this guy locks down the LT position fir the next decade. We've been looking for that guy since Gross retired.

I didn't hate it but I am worried about it.  The one thing I liked is that we didn't just draft a tackle, we specifically drafted a left tackle.  I hope he's the guy, because a healthy Cam means  we can win any game.

My primary concern is just that Hurney has a pretty terrible track record when chasing guys who are falling down the draft board. 

But, if we get a legit LT out of this then it was a fantastic deal.

What is his record on that, this time around or we talking about a decade ago again.

I don’t understand the Little draft pick criticism. He was highly successful as a starting LT in the SEC. 

wtf else do people want around here, Jesus H

 

  So were Luke Joeckel, Greg Robinson, Cyrus Kuandjio, Cedric Ogbeuhi, Germaine Ifedi, And Cam Robinson. 

 In that same time period Laramy Tunsil and Jake Mathews are the only two that could be considered successful. DJ Humphries is solid if he plays. 

 So excuse me if I want more than he played LT in the SEC as the high mark on his resume’. Because facts don’t back that up at all. It actually shows Little has twice as much chance at being an epic bust than successful.

    • 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.
    • 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
