Who's still going to be ok if we don't draft the guy you want?

Well i didn't mean that far of a reach...i think if it isn't a HUGE reach then we should be content with it.

Any prospect considered to be a top 8-10 guy I would be o.k. with because obviously different staffs grade players differently and different players project better in different systems. But at some point it becomes to extreme of a reach and you just either have to trade down and get that guy or move back up after taking one of the elite guys at the top....

See above post.....no way you should draft a guy like Ponder number one overall when his stock is anywhere from 15-40. If you want that guy fine' date=' trade down and pick up extra picks and get him or trade back up and get him if your scouting department has him as a franchise guy.....[/quote']

Well if you are referring to that Auburn QB guy, if we traded down to pick him up we would have to trade all the way down to #2.

What about a guy like Newton who is the consensus #1 pick right now? ;)

I don't want Cam Newton so that's not who I'm referring to. I have no problem with the F.O. selecting him at number one because that's where his stock puts him. It's not my ideal draft pick but if they do their hw and think he's a franchise QB I'll support the pick 100%....

Newton isn't the consensus #1 player though.....BIG difference....

Earlier the haters said they wanted a guy that was the consensus #1 pick. Now it is consensus #1 player? You guys change like the wind.

Note: I know exactly what you mean and I am just fugging with you :)

While I would be elated for the team to draft Green, Dareus, Peterson, or Miller

and I would be ok if we traded down

and I would go postal if they draft gabbert or cameron

I would still support the team and hope this lockout ends quickly

    • 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
