Trevor Etienne: F
Lathan Ransom: C-
Cam Jackson: B
Mitchell Evans: C
Jimmy Horn Jr.: B

Why the Scourton hate?

Overall, I’d give us a B+ for now. Didn’t love the Etienne pick, would much preferred an OT or CB there but loved the rest of the draft.

I don't do rapid reactions. I've got to smoke it over first.

I feel the Scrotum grade is too low. B and the Manleyman grade too high, B-.

How it fell I can’t help but feel good about it.  Seemed like a good mix of BPA and filling needs.  I’m ready to get them on the field.

I'll wait and see them at training camp. Might be surprised by some.

Scourton was a top 20 guy after his Jr year. An A- for him. Wanted a CB and LB, but cant get everything. I think the ND TE starts quickly and is vastly underrated. B+ overall 

[JawnyBlaze]

Overall a B+. I don’t know enough about any of them except Tet to form an educated opinion yet but Tet was my top choice (along with Mason Graham) most of the offseason so I love that pick. The two pass rushers seem solid from what I’ve seen so far, same for the S and Jimmy Horn. I can’t say I love the RB or TE but I’m holding off on judgement until I see more of them.

The Etienne pick was atrocious. Would much rather triple dipped and gone with Sawyer at that point or an OL.

I get the overall idea and process of this draft but it still left some areas unaccounted for like o line depth, cb and lb

But what they did get it is potentially a #1 wr - nalo, a #4/5 wr and possible returner - horn Jr. A #3 te that can grow into a #2 - Evans a #3 pass catching rb who can possibly return that can grow into a #2 once dowdle leaves ( etienne) im not counting on brooks until I see something

On def we got 2 edges that can start as puss rushers and refine their run d to start as rotational pieces and grow into starters ( nick and princely) a back up run stopping nt ( jackson) an enforcer safety ( ransom) 

The def is slowly growing an identity and the offense has no more excuses. We do need more depth everywhere esp o line and cb 

But this fo does at least seem to have a plan they're sticking to unlike the last few regimes. Well see if it works out but imo the team does seem to be getting better not worse and that is my friends progress.

I liked it better than the past few years, so that’s good. It has way more potential but it could be really bad, really quick. The edges and TMac have to be good. If not, there’s very little left. The draft has potential to be solid if we solve the edge issue or TMac becomes Evans.

I just wish we spent a 2026 7th to jump a few picks and get a potential Moton replacement. I think that would have really helped.

I thought it was a really good draft, I'm not sure about the RB but that's about thw only pick that didn't make sense

A- cause of the RB

Tetairoa McMillan: A++++++++++

The rest doesn't mater

LOL

(in all seriousness though, I do love the draft on the whole, we got our #1 WR, two edge rushers with legit potential, and every other pick I can actually see making the team an earning some snaps this year, which feels pretty rare for our drafts.  Was a darn near perfect draft given the needs and picks we had.)
