Can't say I disagree.....

The loss of Thomas Davis (knee) for the season is brutal. I was extremely high on Davis before his series of major knee injuries. He was ready to explode onto the scene as one of the premier 4-3 outside linebackers. But football is a rough sport and injuries happen, so discussing Davis further is a rather moot point.

The acquisition of Jamar Williams was extremely timely and he will make the loss more bearable. Williams didn't play a ton of snaps for the Chicago Bears, as Lance Briggs is entrenched on the weak side in Chicago. When Williams did get on the field, he played exceptionally well. As much as I like Davis, the drop-off might not be massive...

Good write-up. I think the idea of having jamar williams instead of dan connor is a good thing also. Im not too sure about jamar williams but I have seen Dan connor play before and I wasn't all that impressed.

I was under the impression no man could impress you anyway. ;)

Jamar Williams was mana from heaven, considering he was a throw-in to the Harris trade. You don't register 18 tackles in a single game by accident, this guy has been ready to explode for a few years in Chicago and will have great success here.

Granted losing Davis is a loss but I feel we lose very little because of the talent we still have at LB. Williams is a very competent and when the Bears lost Biggs Williams stepped up.

What I would like to see is a discussion on how will we get pressure on the qb.Does anyone have any insight on how Meeks can pull this off? I would love to know.Can Norwood be an impact player on sacks.Can our tackles get enough push on the qb?I do not see a DE that will get consistant pressure on the QB?Will we blitz?

I know there are people in this forum that have far greater insight than I do and I would like to see more discussion surrounding our DL:rolleyes:

this.

Keep Beason in the middle, and let Jamar and Anderson man the other LB spots.

I agree. Beason is one of the best MLBs in the game. Why mess with that?

WLB is more important than MLB in Meek's defense than MLB. On top of that, they were giving Davis some pretty big responsibilities. That's why they've been experimenting with Beason at WLB.

At this point when Reggie Bush spilts out to the slot I would rather see Beason on him than Jamar Williams. I think Jamar Williams may end up being a steal. He isn't going to take long to grasp the defense and he did look very good in his limited playing time.

Pre-season will be fun to watch all the experiments.

It's been looking like there's a good chance we'll run Connor at Mike, Beason at Will and Anderson at Sam. Is Williams more suited to play SLB or WLB? I think at this point Anderson is pretty cemented in at the Strong-side. If Williams could do well at WLB it would allow us to keep Beason in the middle.

      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
