It was so strange when we drafted Grier with the way Allen looked last season. I guess Grier is going to be our long term project with a supposedly higher ceiling. Let's hope anyway.

They went with best player available, I was saying it all along that we know Allen is good.  It was extra insurance because we want to make a playoff run this year so we need to be extra deep.

Good piece.  I hadn't heard that about Robinson, and I'm baffled as well.  When you have four guys like Samuel, Moore, Wright and Hogan . . . why do we even need him.  I get it.  We needed to see some of the guys pan out, but seriously, those four look like locks at this point.  That leaves one or two spots and we know how much Rivera loves him some Torrey Smith.  After the performance of Godwin in the return game . . . I just don't know if anyone else even has a chance.  Heck, I'd even back Levrone over Robinson at this point since Levrone has a bit more size than most of our rostered receivers.

Agreed.  No offense to Cam, but if we'd benched him when the shoulder started to fail, we probably would have made the playoffs.  Granted we would have lost early, but Cam's injury led to him being a liability.  We didn't bench him because we had no faith in the backups.  Getting a solid QB in the draft was necessary given Cam's injury history.  You just can't roll the dice on a guy like Kyle Allen, even if he's had flashes.

Great write up -- my unimportant two cents?  Proofread your bro's work... there are a handful of sentences missing prepositions and the word "nickle/nickel" is spelled inconsistently.  It matters not here, but as y'all are fighting for national exposure, don't let these minor things be used against y'all -- your work really is good and it reflects how much effort you put into it.

 I’ll go back and take a look. I appreciate you bringing that up, I honestly was half awake when I pieced together the graphics for it, that’s all me for missing a few grammar gags. 

Honestly, if it’s missing an occasional preposition, I’m not too worried about that. The way he had it written up to begin with was just bullet points. Stylistically, I agree with you. I wanted things to look clean. No feedback is bad brother.

 

But yes, nickel.

Let be real here.  We are not making a playoff run if Allen or Grier are playing any sort of extended snaps this season.

Allen played 4 quarters of football total over two games. Yeah he looked Okay, but you can't tell me with a straight face that rolling with that unknown of a commodity would have been the best move for our backup situation moving forward. 

It made sense to draft a guy with upside for the first time in a decade and let the competition begin.

From reports from Camp, it seems like Allen has been improving over his rookie year, where he was undrafted and wasn't brought on to the team until midway through the season - Good on him. I'm just glad we didn't sit on our hands and actually provided some depth at QB.

      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
