rookie development .. wrong players or wrong coaches?

First.. let me say I'm not a Fox "hater" ... but I often question some of his play-calling (we all know he controls both sides of the ball)..

But more importantly.. I can't help but wonder how some of the rookies that are considered a "bust" ... such as Jarrett and so far A. Edwards would develop their skills in a different system.. (not all rookies .. these are an exception)

Has Jarrett had a chance to prove himself? When will A Edwards get a chance to get a "feel" for the game..?? I'm not saying to surround your offense around them... but maybe a few end-around's to Armanti? or a few short passes just to see what he can do.. maybe a wildcat here and there..

Is it the inability of the players ...?? or is it the inability of our coaching staff to develop these talents..??

It sounds like not learning the playbook is an excuse ... if you have a player that could benefit your organization .. hire someone to teach them .. make it a top priority .. We only have 3 plays!! It can't be that difficult!

I have a feeling Jarrett will go to another team if we let him go.. and be a decent receiver... not an all-pro receiver... but he's a big, physical receiver that would be the perfect "short-yardage" type receiver...

just my opinion...

Personally, I don't consider Edwards a bust. Takes two or three years for a player to truly become a bust.

I don't either .. but in the face of not drafting a "receiver" in his draft spot .. for our purposes and needs many consider him a bust..

but I guess my point in the thread.. was that he hasn't seen the field!!

Based on his draft position (and salary).. he should at least be active..

They reached for him defiantly. But since he is here now he will need two years to develop. He is in a position he hasnt played but his athleticism will help him out. Give him some time to see how he develops and consider the next two years as his rookie years.

I agree.. but how can he develop when he's not active??

I totally disagree with how rookie's are developed in our system..!!

Why put a player out on the field when they are not ready. That would set them back more than help them. Just because they are making alot of money shouldnt be the only reason to start them. He wasnt a true WR coming out of college it will take him a year or two to get it down. I would rather be patient with him and develop then to throw him in games all year and he gets scard and doesnt develop.

.. and I could argue the other side to say .. how will he learn if he's not out there..?? that's been Fox's philosophy for too long...

I don't mind being patient.. but we've already tried that with Jarrett...

it doesn't work.. IMO

maybe for a later round pick.. but if you see something in a player that makes you want to spend such a valuable draft pick on them... they should be playing.. it shouldn't take two years to get them on the field...

like I said.. just my opinion..

      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
