I wanted Richardson but I had them Richardson, Stroud, Young. But I said at the time that I could be swayed hard by their interviews. I just had extremely serious concerns about Bryce's physical tools.

By the time i finished my personal evaluations, i had it.

Stroud 

Richardson 

Young

Levis 

I was the most unimpressed with Youngs tape but gave him the nod over Levis because of accomplishments. Thats it really.

2nd round pick. Imagine if Jimmy played one more season and the Panthers took him first overall, and Cam went 2nd overall. Thats how bad this is. Its unironically one of the worst draft decisions in NFL history.

You're right. I completely forgot Jimmy was a 2nd round pick.

If Stroud ends up being great and Bryce busts, yeah... this pick and trade up will be a part of sports cautionary tale banter for a loooooooong time.

Not really. It sets you back two years. And what difference does it make if Tepper’s still making the hires and the draft picks? None.

Be honest. Right now Bryce looks like a future sports trivia question answer.

"Who was the QB drafted #1 overall over CJ Stroud after the Panthers traded two 1sts, two 2nds, and DJ Moore to get the pick?"

*everyone nervously chuckles and groans and shakes their head feeling the weight of the cringe*

Will we 'Josh Rosen'' Bryce?  Tepper will clean house before he owns up to this epic blunder even if Bryce ends up being as bad as Rosen.  Rosen was averaging just under a TD a game he started while averaging a pick per game.  He went into a tailspin and was playing worse by the end of his rookie season, not better.  Keeping rookie QBs out there--so they can grow through adversity, can be detrimental rather than beneficial.

Bryce is right there, just slightly better than Rosen, with roughly a TD and pick per game average.

No team in NFL history has traded next year’s first round pick and had that turn out to be the number one pick

Our moron front office hoped he had Tom Brady IQ/awareness. Unfortunately Bryce has jamarcus Russell IQ/awareness without the athleticism of jamarcus. Just a god awful draft pick 

His physical limitations notwithstanding, there is reason for optimism. Before yesterday, he had a 90% QBR which is not bad for a rookie. No matter how high your IQ, accuracy or athleticism, you’re not doing diddly-squat if your OL can’t block or run block consistently or WRs can’t get open.

Not saying Young will be a future HOF, but neither Stroud (the one I wanted) and Richardson would look like much with this roster as currently constructed offense- wise.

Bryce ain’t it. Bryce is a bad NFL QB.  The HC is worse than rhule.  Woo wooo. Wooo.  Can’t believe how bad this team is. We aren’t even competitive.  
 

Young is Russell and leaf bad. 
 

fit is fired tmrw. Inside sources btw…

Young is not even as bad as JC Horn and Ekwonu.

I told everyone before the draft that his arm was NFL average at best and that it was my opinion he had a below average NFL arm. But his arm is significantly worse than I thought. When he doesn't have plenty of runway to step up he can't generate any velocity at all.

And this has been shouted from the rooftops by some. Since his Pro Day in my case. Took very little squinting to see the light. 

Kind of like our society, it is definitely a parallel. People are in a place where just saying something seems to make it true for them. Reality be damned. 

It isn’t that he can’t make some plays and some throws and probably win some games. 

It IS that you do not ever even consider doing what was done to get him on the Panthers. You don’t under any circumstances. My rule prior, for sure my rule post.

      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
