DT

DE

CB

RB/FB

OL

WR

I think we will look for our immediate Depth from post draft FA

But I expect to land a starter with our 2nd round pick

A WR in the draft would Surprise the hell out of me considering we have robinson and carter this season

I didnt list LB'r at all considering we have Connor comming back.

So Conner is kinda like having an extra pick this season...

If pep stays, he'll sign a long term deal. Keeping that in mind, if pep stays I think it goes like this:

DT

CB/S - A nickel corner is basically a starter in the NFL. If we get a safety we can try moving Wilson to CB. Of course, I would prefer a corner and prevent this shuffling from happening, I'm just saying they could be the same in effect.

OL - OL instead of a specific position because what we need is depth. Someone who can play guard, center and RT isn't as rare as one may think and someone like that will be good for us.

DE - We're only in a pickle if pep leaves. I'm pretty happy with pep and CJ as our starters with Taylor as a relief pass rusher.

QB - I actually think Jake has half the equation to being a franchise QB - the intangibles. However, I think a real franchise QB needs BOTH production and the intangibles, and a franchise QB is apparently what wins championships if you look at the past few years. To that end, I really don't think that Cutler would give us any more chance in winning a championship, because he's just the other side to the coin. Due to the importance of this position, I wouldn't mind grabbing a QB even in the second round if we think he's the guy.

But the draft will go like this:

BPA

BPA

:D

That's just what happens outside the first round. A reach for position here (and by reach I mean according to your evaluation of talent and not that bogus Mel Kiper stuff that somehow people think is more valid than the actual picks when his job is to predict what happens) would hurt a lot more than in the first round in that the fall in quality can be bigger.

So for all you guys who think we HAVE to grab a DL, though I agree it's a big need, i don't necessarily think it'll work out that way. We had 2 empty safety spots 2 the year we drafted Beason and we were SURE we would draft one in the first 3 rounds. We didn't grab one till the 7th. It's just not how things work.

      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
