Ridley would have been just fine as well...hes a great player in his own right, but I am very happy with DJ.  He just need to find the end zone more and he will start to get that national love. 

Yea, I think that Ridley is very good as well.

Glad DJ is getting some love.

Won't lie... When we drafted DJ Moore I almost put a hole in my TV. I definitely preferred Calvin Ridley. But glad I was wrong and glad to have another reason why I am not an NFL analyst.

Ridley is just as good as DJ, the difference is DJ is two years younger.

I had a co-worker tell me a couple of years ago that the team was going to regret drafting DJ Moore.

Hasn't happened yet, but can't revisit that discussion with him since we're no longer working together.

The most memorable thing about last season though is that Moore never really seemed to have good chemistry with Bridgewater. It'd be nice to see that change with Darnold.

You’re right. There were countless plays last year where DJ had his guy beat and Teddy didn’t even glance his way. If Darnold can get some chemistry going with DJ imagine what kind of numbers he can put up! One thing is certain, and that’s Darnold won’t be afraid to launch it down the field to give him a chance.

DJ's flourishing talent is a pleasant surprise.  One of the more exciting developments I have witnessed from him is his mastery of the route tree and better movement. He shows much improved ability to get open on his own in comparison to previous years, a positive development I was doubtful about. 

Certainly love that DJ has proven me wrong and shows promise to be an absolute menace to defenses.

I am hoping that consistency in the QB position will unleash him into the monster he now can be. Hopefully Darnold is the answer and we get to see a beautiful connection between them. Or, at the least, just a simple improvement over the atrocity that was Bridgewater.

Tell me about it.

Last year I didn't even want to watch and couldn't wait for the season to be over.

I can't wait for this year to start.

      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
