DITTO-

I thinky he Got "Williamed"

(means you sit the bench way to long spoiling great talent)

Seriously. I mean when they called his number, rare as it was, he got open and caught the ball, but you can only do so much getting put in like 5 or 6 plays a game, and Jake doesn't spread the ball around to anyone else but Smith or Moose, and he'll force it to them before he looks Jarrett's way (or anybody else for that matter)

This kid's looking like a bust and it's not really his fault. He didn't drop any passes thrown to him but it's not like he got that many chances anyway, he was inactive for a lot of games.

That's the tough part about evaluating starters who underachieve (especially WR's and TE's). Is it because Delhomme isn't throwing to them? Or are they not getting open and doing their part? It's hard to judge without the advantage of game film to review it all.

Draft reports all stated that Barnridge could develop into a great receiving TE. I've always wanted a damn Panther's TE in the Delhomme era to have over 500 yards receiving. I hope we can get one in the next couple years.

Jarrett has all the physicality that screams possession receiver. Honestly, 6"4' and 219? Comeon! We need many more balls to him. Especially when it comes to short routes. Get him running those nice little 6-7 yard routes. If our running game continues as well as it did this year, we really only need Jarrett to consistently make those short catches and with that, the chains will move easily. Play him under Moose and Smith. I hate to say it, but look at what Kurt Warner did all year with those little dink and dunk passes. That crap makes 2nd and 3rd down insanely easy.

Not really along the lines of more opportunities, but I desperately hope Godfrey develops into a top-tiered FS. He had some big blown plays this year.

    • 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.
    • 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
