People need to stop obsessing about draft picks. If you have a good player sign them and cut all the poo ones.

Thats how you build a good football team and not be stuck in rebuilding for 7 years…

Our team is the worst in the league.  We don't have many good players that are worth overbidding on for a second contract.  You do what the Lions did.  Auction off players for picks and build a new core through the draft.  Chuba is good, but looks better because of our pricey OL.

I both agree and disagree. You do build your team through the draft. But you don’t let go of players who have proven to be great and trade them for a 5th round pick that turns into a JAG.

That’s how you end up with a bunch of practice squad and JAGs on defense on your way to the worst performing unit in NFL History. 

No one is saying overpay…but if you have great players you do have to PAY and hope they aren’t like luvu who just wants to gtfo.

Who is our great player you are wanting us to pay? We paid DB who can be a cornerstone player you build around. I agree with paying great players. DJ isn’t a great player though. He is a good WR2 who also isn’t the best for a locker room. Throwing teammates under the bus, giving up on routes. These aren’t the type of players you extend while struggling.

      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
