Well what I heard during the combine was very different. It was said that the top 4 was in the 90's with Youngs being the highest. That's why I didn't understand the butthurt from everyone. All 4 had similar measurables with Young being the exception in the height and weight category. That's why Young and Stroud went 1 and 2. Richardson didn't have the playing experience so I can see why he went as qb 3. Levis was just weird in too many ways to take that high. That's how I remember the combine broadcast talk. I was stuck at home so I watched it all and had to listen to all the talk from the knowitalls.

It's why they were even asking Stroud about his score in that sports illustrated article in which he responded "I'm a football players not a test taker" which I kind of liked.  There were rumors stirring around CJ might drop to the Raiders but the NFL GMs weren't that dumb.

Agreed but I’m not going to root against him or anything. Just don’t care that much and I’ve moved on from our disastrous 2023

Goes to show you it's not the end all be all some want to make it out to be. That came out after the combine didn't it?

It could have.  I don't remember the exact timing but it was close to the draft.  Regardless yeah it kind of made the S2 seem irrelevant as shown by the lack of attention it received this year.

I mean, if your "cheat code" test labels one guy basically a sure thing and he looks like trash and labels another guy bottom of the barrel and he has the best rookie seasons ever... oh wee mayne. That's pretty much a kill shot.

Using the S2 score alone amounts to saying 1 measurable like the strongest arm is all you need to predict a sure thing is ridiculous. If that's all it took then what's the point of every other measurable? No, it's just another thing someone will use to complain about why they didn't get what they wanted.

Yeah there is no magical test that tells you how good a QB will be.  You have to look at tape, potential, character, and then they need to go to a good system where they can develop.  It seems to be the toughest position to project.

I wanted a good QB. Based on how Tepper raved about Bryce's "super processing" and his love for "analytics" it's logical to surmise that there's a good chance that he was a big believer in the S2 test. I want to say that maybe Joe Person even reported such. Fair Joe Person mockery aside, he certainly has a helluva better organizational sources than my non-existent ones.

It is. It is one the if not the most important thing. The coaches and qb pairing must be right or it's a wasted pick.

      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
