Draft Update: Players to watch for the Bowl Games today.

It'd probably take more than 1 more pick to land both. We could likely get Kirkpatrick with our pick (not that I'd want to, from what I've seen so far) but to get Blackmon from scratch (not using our 1st this year to move up) it'd probably take our next two 1sts to get a high 1st this year. No thanks. To move up to take Claiborne and trade enough to get Blackmon too, the cost of that is unimaginable.

Oh I know, just dreaming.

Alshon and Justin both MVPS today both with the same stats but AJ was ejected in the 3rd if he stayed in god knows what kind of crazy stats he would have had.

Edge Blackmon has over Jeffery is better route running and slightly better speed and hands.

Jeffery has some hops though... wouldn't be surprised if we have a look at him, especially if we trade down and end up with 2 picks in the 1st round.

^ lol why did he come back again?.....

Evidently so that he could hand the ball off and rely on a RS freshman kicker in a BCS bowl in the last game of his college career.

Everything we hear about this guy having full audible control over that offense and he's still gonna hand it off with Oklahoma State selling out against the run in crunch time? Oklahoma State had done their homework. They knew at the end of the day that Stanford was a run first offense. They knew they were gonna pound the rock in those situations. Luck didn't have the balls to check out of the run calls.

On the flip side, Justin Blackmon... he dat deal. Weeden has a chance to be a decent NFL QB too if he can land in the right system. If you protect this guy, he can make all the throws, but he doesn't like pressure.

    • 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
