I know everyone loves Hunt but Lewis is the better player. 

I have seen Hunt  get abused a couple of plays. I was pretty surprised that a guy making 100 million was getting pushed around. 

I know he is a good player but Lewis is the value.

He graded out better last year as well. With BC doing well as a starter in Hunt's place, if DLew has durability issues as the season goes on I can see the team looking to move on from his contract to retain BC. Hunt's out isn't until after next season, but after this season cutting DLew would save ~$9M iirc.

Personally, I'd love to keep all three while they're still operating under Bryce's rookie deal.

I know everyone loves BC but he is also a 29 year old backup. His value will always be being that versatile backup for us, not starting 17 games at whatever position.

If we want to move from either of the guards, fine, but the draft is the place to take care of that.

The thing that gives me pause about Ickey is that I still feel he is lacking in pass protection, the one critical component about being a left tackle. Yet, good luck on finding another LT and Ickey's agent will know that.

Boy, I was really spoiled watching Jordan Gross.

That's true, but he's a elite run blocker. 

Honestly he could be fixed, he just needs loads and loads of snaps. The collective bargin doesn't allow, so Icky would need to do it on his time......

      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
