The cheerleader effect lol but also it makes a lot of sense. I thought some of the other QBs did better than that.

Some great cautionary words on Willis and what to look at next in the draft process.

It is funny that the more people look at this class the more they say the same thing.

It isn't a good QB class. Period.

No, it's not. Very good OL class though.

I'm trying to think of the last time I saw us take advantage of a situation like that.

After listening to the entire QB portion of this podcast, the grade on almost the entire class this year is really in the 4th round -  "let's draft him and see if he can stay on the roster".  Which is a pretty damning assessment. 

Willis seems like the only exception in the group.  His ability to read defenses and decision making (probably the two most important traits) are still undeveloped but everything else seems to be there to become a QB1.  But it would probably take the guy at least a year to learn those skills.  So the team that drafts him really has to be patient and plan on sitting him for most of his rookie season.  

As a consequence not a single member of this QB class is ready to start next year.  And if one believes this podcaster, most probably won't ever be ready.

      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
