It's still WR. Mingo is a rookie, Theilein is over the hill, and DJ Chark is often injured. It could get real ugly in that department, real fast.

I got dogpiled on twitter for suggesting this. People soon forget how having questions marks all over a position group is a negative and not a positive. The FO did as good a job as they could do, but we need one star on the WR corps at least and all we have is question marks. D hopkins can still be had.

I think folks are underestimating TMJ.  He’s fast, runs great routes, and can high point the ball.  He closed the season out well, despite terrible offensive coaching.  He could easily be our #1

WR and DL

Wide receiver group has so many questions, a TMJ/Mingo breakout could be huge but obviously not counting on it.

We're thin at EDGE outside 53, and even our iDL. I remain adamant we overrate 95 because of his draft positioning, I just am not seeing a player that's making a difference on every game. How many times did we say his name after the TNF game last year? I may catch some heat here but I think it's a big year for him and I'm far from being sold he's a second contract player for us. I've seen flashes, but year four and it's time to have a Pro Bowl caliber season.

Not sure why so many are worried about LB. Shaq is automatically a better LB than anyone Evero had in Den last year (and I'm far from a Shaq stan) and he got great play out of his LB's last year. Bell & Woods, should see Chinn playing more on the second level this year too. Want to see if Brandon Smith has a role this year.

I think maybe depth at CB...unless one of these undrafted rookies pans out.

Otherwise, I'm concerned about the front line on D. I like Tuttle and Brown. Not sure if Tuttle should be NT. Even if he is, I'm skeptical about Williams on the other side. I feel like we should try natural NT Bravion Roy in the middle, with Tuttle and Brown at DE. More balanced. 

But maybe we have another player in mind?

I think we're fine at TE. I like our LB Corp, especially if Chinn returns to a similar role as his rookie year.

I also like our WR group. All this chatter about needing a "number 1" receiver might be moot given Bryce Young's style.

Not to worry, Mingo is going to be a rookie man child beast I have a feeling. Josh Vann, the undrafted rookie will be a solid returner and also prove his worth as a receiver and that is just the rookies. I have a feeling that the guys we already have will gel together and WR will be filled with production and depth. Call me crazy but I feel this is going to be a ridiculous strength for us.

Not sure why everyone is saying LB. 
 

We will likely only have 2 on the field at a time in a 3-4 and it will be Luvu/Shaq. We also have Chinn in the box and Brandon Smith. ILB is fine. Edge is a concern on the anchor side. You have Burns, Haynes, Barno on the Buck side but only YGM and Johnson opposite of that.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      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
