It’s very simple. If you go by total impact, we didn’t do well. If you go by total value which accounts for our lack of picks, we did well. Ignoring the fact that if Corral is amazing we win the draft, a team like the Jets got Garrett Wilson, Sauce Gardner and Jermaine Johnson in the 1st. That’s three impact starters as of now. We have Iky and maybe Corral.

If you go by true impact starters there’s no way we rank ahead of the Jets. That said, they had way more draft capital and that’s where we had an advantage.

Pretty sure Brady Quinn said drafting Corral was a huge mistake. Too raw.

 Put another way: this list isn't identifying the "best" or "worst" draft classes, but instead showing how the actual draft stacked up against our draft board. It's more instructive than definitive and hopefully that's how you'll take it.

 

Put yet another way, this "grade" is more about how each team stacks up if they had all picked as he had instructed them to.  The Panthers, with fewer picks in day 1-2 had fewer chances to cross him up.  Also he does not describe the grade for drafting a player he had listed as FA.  I liked what we did with our draft but this whole article is an exercise in narcissism.

Well, at 94, nothing is a “huge” mistake. I don’t think I saw anywhere where Corral was ranked that low. Who knows if he works out but it can’t be a huge mistake. Also, taking him at 94 also means that if he fails badly, we move on quickly. Besides, Quinn has zero clue what good NFL QB play is like.

yeah i agree. BQ has no idea. He was the CBS figurehead blasting our draft.

weird ... CBS was just saying we were the worst immediately after the draft...

Yeah it's strange cause on the CBS Sports Draft Tracker, we got Bs and Cs for every single one of our draft picks.  Seemed like a pretty mediocre reception of our draft.

    • Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens. 
    • Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.   
    • Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
