I think this is right. I was thinking a lot of Will Witherspoon.

I miss Will Witherspoon. Dude was great and I thought that when we chose to keep Morgan over Witherspoon back in the day, we'd chosen incorrectly. I used to be friends with one of his former teammates on the Rams and he said Spoon was just an all-around great guy and had a brilliant mind.

A 4.5 laser timed 40 in an era where you have to cover? You don’t like that? He will probably play a Chinn type role. 

Well chinn absolutely sucked after his first year and is now off the team. If that is what we are going for then this team is in a constant rotation of diarrhea.

Spoon had incredible Dlineman to allow him to run free. Pep Rucker Jenkins will do that.

More I see of this guy the more I like him. He can ST right away, and moves great for a pretty big guy. 

We got the staff, we got Morgan, we got Luke getting a little interested, and we got a good vet for him to understudy. Shaq will treat him right. 

I really like Legette.

I understand the RB he has the size and build, and he does appear to have great hands. L:et’s hope he likes blitz pickups.

I really like the 2nd in 2025.

Everybody says “I just want them to draft BPA” until they don’t draft whatever player some mock draft says is BPA. One thing that is clear to me is that they are drafting BPA according to their own board, rankings, and evaluations, because RB and LB were certainly not the biggest needs. Most people here, myself included, just have draft crushes on some specific players based on extremely limited information. The teams have 10x the information we do and are looking at 10x the amount of players. That’s not to say they always get it right, it’s more to say the average fan getting it right is more akin to a dead clock being right 2x per day. And you really have no idea, if you were talking to Payton Wilson’s doctors and examining his medicals just like the team is, or sitting through the interviews, or getting direct information from a team of scouts, you may find yourself agreeing with the team more than you think.

Very important point.

At the end of the day, this is their work and they're in charge of bringing the right guys in after interviews.  From a fans lens, we look at the field play and interviews here and there and just hope for the best guy from the outside looking in.  But it is absolutely critical they get guys that mesh best with their approach, culture, locker room.  They're building a workplace. 

They have their board with their blocks and they're drafting based off that.  We'll see if they got some guys that stick this year.

I'm not going to post as if I know anything about this guy. What I can say from watching the videos this guy is a sure tackling LB. Some of his tackles are violent and about as sure as you can get that the offensive player is going down. 

The videos seem to portrait a DAWG. I believe Dan sees something special in him and look forward to see how he does his rookie campaign. 

I have read he's pretty good covering TE and RBs out of the backfield. Sounds like a perfect 3rd down player and once he's coached up to correct his flaws he'll Crack the lineup.

Linebacker is our weakest position group by far

I'd argue that edge, CB, TE and NT are more immediate needs but I do understand the argument, we do not have any depth behind Shaq and Josey outlaw

Wilson doesn’t have an ACL in one of his knees. I’m honestly surprised he was drafted. 

He reminds me of Miles Jack. He will play for a few years but he does not have a long career ahead of him. It's a shame because he's a damn good player

      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
