And neither of them had the receiving corps we have now...not even close.

Well, you had an emergent Moose in 1999, plus a great tight end in Wesley Walls. In 2011, you had Steve Smith, Greg Olsen and Jeremy Shockey -- so not trash receiving corps. D.J. and Robby definitely trump Moose and Patrick Jeffers as a 1-2, though.

I wanted to give him more, but I see us running more than expected--Hubbard and CMC, with Tremble plowing the way---

I honestly don't think that will matter that much. We will run the ball, but with our receiving corps, Sam would have to suck pretty badly or miss a number of games (both of which is unfortunately possible) for us not to amass 4k passing yards. Given what TB did last year and this year we have a full off-season...hard to imagine not hitting that number. Again, provided he doesn't suck or miss several games or both.

Think about who he's throwing to. We have 3 1k receivers + Arnold + Tremble + Marshall. If everyone stays healthy, he's hitting over 4k.

Ok, but the 4k QBs last year in 15 were still largely the likes of Mahomes, Brady, Watson, Rodgers, Ryan, Allen.  Herbert is basically the odd ball. 

Dallas had crazy deep and good WRs last year.  But they had a washed up Andy Dalton at QB stepping into that O for the first time.  

For all the heat Teddy got and deserved by being a check down king.  He still IMO helped us overachieve on offense by knowing the system and having command of it.  Doubtful Darnold will have the O grasped like Teddy did as early.

I'd give 2011 the slight edge. 

89 and Olsen > DJ and Robbie. 

2011 then had Shockey, LaFell rounding it out.  Think that trumps Arnold and a rookie slightly.  Plus, 2011 had LEGATRON.  

but most importantly, the 2 QBs who pulled it off were better than Darnold.

That's fair. I think this year's receiving corps has the potential to be better, so I'll just say I'm optimistic. I also think Darnold has the potential to be better than Beuerlein. So I'm really optimistic. 😄

I'm thinking of the potential...it could be an insanely deep and talented receiving corps. If David Moore is WR4? Not that he's all-world, but considering what our past WR4's have been, he may look that way. And I honestly think Arnold could go for 500-700 yds. Someone is gonna always be pretty open. Just depends on our OL giving Darnold time and then him not blowing it.

Shockey was pretty overrated here. Valid point about Legadoodoo, though. Legend.

      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
