Ladd has arguably been the best rookie receiver this season. He was drafted in the second round. 

fug, when was Parsons drafted, and who did we pick? Don't tell me that four or five draft spots is a reason to fail at drafting.

Horn at 8, Parsons 12

People need to stop pointing to the Parsons pick as an example of a stud player being drafted outside the Top 10.

Parsons the draft prospect is NOT the player Parsons is today.

Going into the draft he was a MLB, not an edge rusher.  He got thrust into that role as a rookie because of all their injuries and he was so good at it that they changed up their plans for him.

Even the Cowboys missed on that projection of him or else they'd have just made him an edge rusher from the start, so people need to stop pointing to him as one example, because in reality, every single team in the league missed on that evaluation of him.

Looks like we stayed at #7 with the Jets moving ahead of us.

Yep. fuging sucks. I have no idea how they did that. We had a decent lead on them a few weeks ago. We need some more luck. Cleveland looks like they’re tanking. That Robinson kid sucks and they won’t put in Winston. If the Dolphins lost, they could sit a bunch of guys next week against the Jets.

I guess if the Dolphins win, the Jets SOS could jump a bit and even more if the Dolphins beat them next week.

That Arizona win was fun but man, we actually had a legit shot at the top pick and maybe fleecing the Giants like we got fleeced by the Bears.

Perhaps, but there were more than a few who said that his potential was super high as an MLB. It was really the off-field questions that held him back a little bit. 

But, even if I concede that you're 100 percent right, the more KISS approach would've been to not overthink it and pick Surtain.

Why? I can name 3 other players arguably as good or better than Horn in that draft. The point is, there’s no reason to lose sleep over picking 4 vs 7 unless there’s a generational guy which there isn’t. We have the same shot of screwing up 4 and we do 7, just whatever happens happens. BPA at one of our biggest needs

      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
