Sure hope so. I've been pulling for him for the past couple of games. I really thought that the last game of this season showed what he CAN be. He made a few great catches and really did well without Smitty stretching the field opposite of him. Regardless, the season needs to start.... like NOW, lol.

Glad to see he has been working out and losing weight. 2 things he said were that he was stronger and faster out of his breaks. In another thread comparing him to LaFell I mentioned these 2 areas are problems for him. He wasn't strong enough in his upper body to get off the line and he was slow out of his breaks lacking first step quickness. If he has worked on these areas and improved his blocking he might be a pleasant surprise this year. At least after 3 years he should know the playbook and watching film is a real necessity. Hopefully Tolbert and the fact he has guys breathing down his neck will spur him on to do something this year.

doesnt matter at this point. expectations have been much higher. he's been overpaid to this point and he'd have to come out as a superstar to warrant being resigned. even if he manages to be better than average, lafell will most likely be as good and with the expectations of edwards in the slot, who needs jarrett any more??? the upside to lafell and edwards is too high. he had his chance...

... too little, too late!

I'm loving our new WR's coach so far. It's very reasuring that Tolbert has had success with young WR's in the past, and that he seems to be able to relate to these young guys much better than Williams could. Sometimes those relationships between players and coaches can make a world of difference.

I'm still not really sure what to expect from anybody but Smitty, but I'm looking forward to watching how this WR competition unfolds. TC is gonna be very interesting this year.

And FTR, I really am pulling for Jarrett even though I've criticized him in the past. I hope the light has finally come on for him.

      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
