I think it's easier to miss on pick #23 than on pick #8 pending you play the Marty Hurney logic at the top of a draft and just take the surest thing. 

Normally yeah but I’m not sure there is a “surest thing” at pick 8 in this bad draft. They all seem pretty flawed.

That's part of the reason why I'd be having my scouts and decision makers actively avoiding media narratives and talking points. Ignore the group think BS. We're going to put in the work and make our own evaluations as unadulterated by the BS as we can manage and sink or swim on that.

And if these scouts have several positional players with close grades like people are claiming?

that's why I couldn't take Jeanty and Warren off my board at the top.   And if anyone has followed by postings over the years, I am about as anti drafting a RB high as anyone on here. 

I just don't like this draft.  But hey, that said, watch it turn out some monsters I'm doubting.  A lot of the draft classes I have loved have been bad.

Is Jeanty better than Hampton? Warren better than Loveland. Warren only showed production one year, Jeanty played weak competition and looked average in the playoffs. I’m just saying they all have flags.

Then absolutely listen to offers. I'm not saying to don't trade down. Honestly, my preference would be to trade down with an at or near traditional market value offer. But am I willing to take late teens value for my #8 pick just to move down? Hell no.

I mean, I know this is UNC country but yeah, I think Jeanty is special.  And I generally would say any team would still be stupid to draft him high being special.  I do like Hampton a lot and feel he was overlooked by the media.  So not knocking him in anyway.    I just don't like this first round.  Jeanty is safe.  I think Warren is safe.  Will they be All Pros? I don't know.  I think both can get out there early and be solid NFL players.  

So it's not really about me liking Jeanty or Warren.  It's just disliking this draft more than any I can recall going in for a long time.

It’s definitely a bad draft for top end talent. Which is why trade ups won’t fetch what they normally would.

Everyone outside of Travis Hunter has a "yeah but". Even Carter has some durability concerns. Everyone is going to need some form of development to be productive in the nfl. That is why this draft is a buyers market and so far nobody is buying.

Yep and Carter only played edge for one year and isn’t good vs the run

When team building, coming away with 3+ solid/very solid starters is FAR more advantageous than getting 1 stud and 1 third stringer.

Here’s how that hurts more than it helps. 

 Team is dog doo and manages to sh*t their way in to a generational stud in the draft. The team is still really really bad, but dude on his own studness wins a couple games the team really didn’t deserve (strip sack defensive TD, win by 2)… because he is a man among boys.

 future draft position while he is doing his thing is now royally screwed. You’re supposed to be 1-2 win team but with him … now a 4-5 win team. That sucks. 

Dude is on his way to the HOF, our team is stuck in purgatory. 

I want to trust the draft savvy of the shot callers, but right now I have a really hard time doing so. Please go conservative, Dave T/Dan.

Trade back for a mid round 1st swap, get their second and next year’s third. Go BPA in first 2 rounds and draft for need in rounds 3+. This draft HAS TO come away with at least 3 quality starters to begin a ‘window’ build.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.

      Jones got projected as the next Eli because they share a similar goofball, on the spectrum energy.  That's my theory.

      I didn't think underrated was the wildest statement. The passing and offensive command he showed in week 18 against Atlanta was as good as any QB that has ever played for this franchise.  I mean THAT part is wild.  Which plays into the overrated part.  End of regulation I don't think he even hit 200 yards passing.  I mean he had a very efficient day vs a weak defense.   As good as we have ever seen in Carolina?
