It is a moot point, because his skill is not why he is ranked where he is, but I think the topic is interesting when comparing CB types. I still think he would be #2 and not #4. Mike Lombardi says Jax likes Gilmore more than Claiborne. Another NFL expert, last week on NFL Network, (can't recall who it was--Casserly or Billick, maybe?) explained that the scheme is very important in determining what kind of CB you want. I knew that, but never clearly understood why. He explained that some teams want CBs who are better in coverage early in routes while others want CBs who cover best later in routes. Never heard it explained like that, and I never considered it.

Yeah, they said Revis is an example of a guy that is both, Asomugha is an early route guy, and Gilmore is the coveted late route guy in this draft.

No, absolutely not. When has a very talented player who had character concerns ever worked out for us?????? It would be awful to take him in the second. I mean he left Florida!!!!!!!! Florida!!!!!! Then went and played at a small school. Yeah right a guy like that will never amount to anything in the NFL!!!!!!!!!!!

Some guy by the name of Cam Newton left Florida. "Florida!!!!!!!!" Then he proceeded to go to a small junior college, followed by a National Championship and a Heisman Trophy session at Auburn. Shame he never worked out in the NFL... oh, wait.

      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
