So what was the deal with this guy last night. I saw absolutely nothing from him that would warrant me spending a 2nd round draft pick on him, let alone trading a future 1st round pick just to get him. Greg Hardy showed more promise and he was taken in the 6th round. Unless someone can tell me that Brown was obviously double teamed all night, then I'm gonna go on ahead and say he needs some serious work on his technique. He tried to do the Dwight Freeney/Robert Mathis spin move several times and completely failed at it.

The thing that stood out to me and really disappointed me was that he was a half-step slow off the snap. For a guy that needs to win with speed already he needs to get off the ball. I noticed this several times when he was on the right side of the Dline and I could get a good look at his feet.

Is he fast enough to play the Will or Sam? I am just confused about how to use him right now. He needs to get a mean streak and get it fast.

I was wondering the same thing. He might be a better fit at LB. He showed some speed on the pass rush last year as a rotation DE. It would be interesting to see Fox put him at LB during the preseason. Probally won't happen though.

Well there were a few plays where he got off the line pretty quickly, but once he got into the offensive tackle's pads, the offensive tackle just swallowed him up. Those linemen up there in Baltimore are beastly, but still, he should've been able to get around 'em at least once or twice. I noticed the same thing about Beason... at least on one play anyway. Beason got up to the line of scrimmage on a blitz, but couldn't get off his block to get to the QB. Our defensive line as a whole looked promising, but they all need a lot of work from what I could tell from last night's game anyway.

You guys bitch way to much. Its only the 1st game of the pre season and you already think Edwards, Brown, and Jarrett are a wasted picks and will bust ect..

Not bitching, just creating some nice discussions. Did I say Brown was a bust? Nope. Just kind of interested to see what other people's opinions were of his play last night. Nothing too constructive.

      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
