I think at the time it looked good on paper but in hindsight not so much. 

Why not? Henderson has starter's talent, which is evident from draft profiles and grades. If we can get him to play up to his talent level, then we've got a good corner for cheap.

It’s been 2 seasons now.  Sometimes it just doesn’t happen.  He got scorched when he did get in games.

He played his rookie season with a torn labrum and eventually went to IR... This year he only graded poorly in one game. Not sure we have enough of a sample size to agree with your claim. Plus, young successful CBs is extremely rare. CBs transitioning from college to pros normally take 3 - 4 years. There are a ton of cases to support that.

Sure, we will see.   His overall on pff is 50 so I am not overly optimistic.  I think there was probably something else going on in Jacksonville that made them move on from him so quickly.  I get that they are incompetent but still, he was a top 10 pick and they had enough of him in record time

The issue with this is we can't invest cap space into the OL and still net comp picks from Gilmore/Jackson. Theyre going to cancel each other out. 

Maybe, maybe not. There will be OL who are cut that won't count towards the comp pick formula, also potential trades. Can also bank the cap space and spend in 2023

bc he looked sleepy during all of his interviews... we covered this when we traded for him.

They were talking about his play on the field too… slow, gets smoked on double moves, doesn’t pay attention, hates to tackle, disinterested in football. 

Dilla and the Duval crew were happy to see him go.

They had to go get him from his house at one point cause he wouldn’t come into the facility.  Rumors he was gonna just retire.  Guy has baggage like Louis Vuitton.

You know, if he turns out to be solid at a CB spot, that is actually a good way to look at the deal.

 

It's the only way to look at it. That's how our GM does. The draft is one resource that is not always limited to the current draft of course. 

Most get caught up in the future 1st round pick trades but the later round picks get ignored.  You can use those in various ways as well. Like picking up former 1st round pick reclamation projects. Some workout some don't.

I honestly think if the pick traded for him or for Darnold hadnt been the same year it'd be looked at differently...

I don't think the trade for CJ was necessarily bad. But I do think he (and Horn) are why Gilmore is important to retain for another year if possible. Our coaches blow but Gilmore does not. He can show them a ton.

Brady spent most of the day making sure Gronk got his bonus, which should have been falling on our LB's / Safeties for coverage.  Jury still out on Henderson for me.  Didn't hate the trade, but I'd like to see more consistency before I can get on board with saying it was a win for us.

      An analysis of Brooks from The Fantasy Footballers provides possible insight as to why he's worth the price paid

      By TD alt · Posted

      Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

      2024 Who would you have picked

      By R0CKnR0LLA · Posted

      2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
