That draft class is certainly a perfect example of why you never go into a draft desperate at a position group. He threw mud at that CB wall praying for something to stick. At least we got Bradberry out of that mud slinging.

wrong draft

 

the draft you are talking about is the Bradberry, Worley, Sanchez draft

Elder was part of the 2017 CMC class with Samuel, Moton, Armah. It actually may have been Gettleman's best draft in terms of productive players, especially if we'd kept Butker. Hall was a bust and Elder was certainly hampered by missing his entire rookie year. But to hit on 5 of 7... Very nice. Especially given the QUALITY of players. CMC is already elite, Samuel and Moton also could be elite players.

Elliot was actually the highest graded corner (per off) on the Bucs last year...mind you, that's not saying much. 

The writing may be on the wall with Elder... The question is, do we want to give up on him before he's had a full chance to develop. This is basically his second season, since he was injured his entire first. My thing is, I can't say I remember ever seeing or hearing him flash in a game or practice, although I could be wrong. When he was drafted I figured at the very least we'd have a punt returner....nah.

5 of 7 is an insanely productive draft. And I forgot about Hall, would have liked to see if he could have produced in this 3-4.

I was mixing Elder up with Sanchez. Ouch, so one season after spamming three picks at CBs we had to go and draft another one. Ultimately, it looks likely that only one of those four picks will work out.

    • My biggest fear with Bryce Young is that he will always do just enough to stick around. He shows flashes and then drops a turd so the hopium is always there. Like his career highlight reel if you cut it up to some hype music and did a YouTube video would actually be quite good. His great plays really, really look good. But after that video you look at his yearly averages for completion percentage, yardage, touchdowns, and virtually every other metric and it is meh as fug. Like you know Bryce is gonna be 13/23 for 157 yards a touchdown and probably a pick.  I will 100% give him his flowers for his athleticism and ability to scramble outside the pocket. I haven’t seen the mythical “super processing ability” he was touted for per se, but he has shown flashes of absolutely elite awareness when it comes to scrambling. The little basketball move he does to shake defensive linemen has almost become a signature move. It’s hard to explain but you know it when you see it he stops on a dime and pivots like he is gonna hit a step back jumper and it has gotten him out of a lot of trouble.  I sincerely, truly, as a vocal Bryce HATER, hope that since we are obviously running with him next year the coaching staff actually tailors plays around his strengths. He needs to be in a pure spread IMO. His size is much less of a hindrance when he can play QB in open space. I feel like most of his highlight reel is from scrambles and play action/bootlegs.
