Just now in presser. Mentioned Legadu AND LaFell together saying they played well, but I think that was more or less to keep them on equal footing so LaFell isn't seen as a threat to move up in the lineup.

:facepalm:

It was his best game, but damn, when will he give this up?:mad2:

if he mentioned it, it's probably because he was asked about it by a reporter. no coach in the league is going to answer with "uhh actually naanee sucked and we fully intend to draw and quarter him publicly on mint street on monday."

and he DID actually have a good game... four receptions for 63 yards.

Anyone notice how much time Applewhite got on the field yesterday over Hardy?

These San Diego alliances have got to die.

Hardy looked like he was a little banged up out there yesterday. there were a few shots of him grimacing in pain.

Also, at least two drops IIRC and a holding penalty.

And he wasn't asked about him on that question, he was asked what "young guys," if any, popped out or "flashed" on the tape? He brought up Legadu and LaFell on his own.

I don't have a problem with using guys he's familiar with, I trust him in any other case, except Naanee.

And I'm not worried about Hardy's spot... I think he's solidified himself with the staff very early on. They love him and he's shown an ability to dominate at times this year and that will only get better. I love that guy...

That being said, the defensive line rotates pretty regularly and I loved the Applewhite pickup, so it was good to see him out there, plus, Hardy looked winded after a lot of those plays towards the end of the game.

Naanee really did play a better game yesterday. I'm starting to think the coaches are behind him because, even if the catch/target ratio is out of whack (and let's be honest, Cam seems to throw him some weird balls, especially that floater that the refs overturned like the idiotic morons they are) Naanee definitely blocks well. He was directly responsible for spring Deangelo on his 69 yd TD run.

Hardy looked like he was a little banged up out there yesterday. there were a few shots of him grimacing in pain.

Yeah, I think Hardy was getting some well-deserved breaks. I didn't see Applewhite do anything particularly bad, either, so hopefully he can improve and we can continue to add defensive playmakers.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      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.

      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
