Recommended Posts

FWIW, these are the picks I'd like to see for us in the draft:

Round 1 - Cam Newton, QB Auburn

Round 3 - Sione Fua, DT Stanford (or BPA at DT)

Round 3 - Austin Pettis, WR Boise St

Round 4 - Brandon Burton, CB Utah

Round 5 - Nate Irving, LB N.C. State

Round 6 - Zach Hurd, G Connecticut

Round 6 - Lawrence Guy, DT Arizona State

Round 7 - Zach Pianalto, TE North Carolina

Yep, and that's exactly why we don't need one this year. Plenty of good ones next season, and with the hardest schedule in the league, taking a QB now would be foolish.

Yeah it would be foolish to take a franchise QB when you have the first pick. After all we have had it so many times. We would be a lock to get the first pick next year as well. Forget that it never happens, this would be the exception to the rule for sure.

Just saw WalterFootball's latest mock and our round 4 pick was Edmond Gates, WR Abilene Christian. I thought this was pretty interesting.

Anyone know anything about him?

speedster that can stretch the field.pretty good hands and i think he could be the real deal.

    • 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
