Have we seen anything out of Armanti that would lead us to believe he is good...or even has potential...at the NFL level?

the catch and run on 4th down in the last preaseason game for a first down.

displayed good hands as a reciever. at least fielded punts decently in the final preseason game. other than that no.

but has lafell shown anything either?

Was Edwards inactive because of the Sunday roster numbers game or was he inactive because Hurney said he "lost his legs?"

If it was because of numbers, okay. But if it was because he supposedly "lost his legs" why not simply use him as a situational WR, like a #3 or #4 because while he may not have the every-play, every-down legs under him, he still has the burst that made him a threat at QB and he's certainly showed the ability to catch a pass... at least during the pre-season.

I'd like to get excited about Edwards, but the glowing practice reviews will have to come from someone not named Darin for me to buy into it.

concurred. even being a fan of the guy, you can't get excited about somebody until theyve actually done something.

lmao at people who compare "running shape" to "legs" and who cannot wrap their head around the drastic change of muscle memory and conditioning it would take for a QB to change to a WR all whilst moving up to the NFL. Even for a mobile QB this is a task.

we have some real dumb-asses here

The dumb-assery started in April, when Hurney traded up to draft a QB and said "We envision him being a Punt Returner/Wide Receiver".

Maybe he will become a great PR/WR. Maybe he won't. Right now, based on reports from consistent writers, and what we saw in Pre-season, it's going to take a lot of work.

And it's a hell of a gamble to draft a player out of one position and expect him to start playing another. It crosses the line of stupid when you give away a pick in the next season's draft to do so, AND you were in pretty bad shape on Special Teams and needed another reliable WR going into the draft.

I understand its muscle memory and a different set off muscles. What people are missing is that he is young and a professional athlete, it shouldn't take this long to adapt. Dont get me wrong Im rooting for him, I just think its a BS excuse in the article

      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
