The kid is a great talent who works extremely hard to be the best every day at his position. He has been on record since his freshman year of college stating he wants to be the best DB in America. He put in the work through the years to make it there as well. And he isn't just an ultra talented kid, he is a kid with great character by all accounts. If the draft falls out way its both a position of need and likely the best available player that also 100% fits the mold of what Rhule wants to establish here without question.

If the #7 pick is anything other than OT or DT, something has gone horribly wrong.

So you are saying draft for need and not BPA?  Is round 1 of the draft the only way we can possibly meet our needs on the lines?

I'm saying Brown and/or Thomas should be there at #7 and there should be no hesitation that either one of those 2 will be the pick.

I get it---I want Brown (but would take Wirfs--my favorite tackle in the draft--or Thomas IF we know for certain that Little is a bust (we have not seen enough to know that--he has  missed too much to judge him on such a small body of work) --Hope we sign Bradberry.  To be honest, it is really pointless to debate who we are going to pick until later in March--after free agency.

Agreed. Even if he's not a bust, I don't think we have to be married to Little at LT. He can play other spots on the OL & Thomas would be a clear upgrade there.

      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
