Why the hell is everyone pissed at this draft?

#14 Star Lotulelei. Will probably be the best DT we have had since Jenkins. Will be a defensive monster.

#44 Kawann Short. Future replacement for Dwan Edwards and insurance on Lotulelei's heart problem.

#108 Edmund Kugbila. Adds depth. Not our best pick but I don't hate it.

#148 A.J Klein. Very good pick, perfect insurance we need on Beason, also he is clearly bringing sexy back TPBUQBHXMOANYKZ.20120427163720.jpg

#182 KenJon Barner. Our steal of the draft.. Could be the answer to DWill's contract problem or Stewart's glass ankle.

I'm not seeing why people are mad at this draft? you don't always get what you want.

We were terrible at DT. Have been for years.

They think the G will be special.

Fifth round: A SLB with starting talent. 3rd round value. Beason is overpaid and often injured. Blackburn could have backed Beason, so that is not why he was drafted. He is heir to Beason.

Sixth round: Third to fourth round value. Last year, RR wanted a scat back. Hurney did not give him one. Still, this is about the position--Stewart, Tolbert, Poole, and Barner all have different stregths. Aside from being that Scat back, Barner will help us step away from the DW contract.

Note that DW and Beason did not restructure during the offseason. Hmmm.

This was a good draft in my opinion. I pretty much agree with everything OP says.

Kenjon Barner was a STEAL in the 6th round. This guy is pretty legit. He is at WORST a 2nd string back.

We got two potential stud defensive tackles.

With those 3 picks alone I can't complain. The LB will provide depth. The only pick I question is the olineman but if they see something in him then I will hold my judgement until he gets some playing time.

Well I like Hixon, but the first thing he needs to do is stay healthy. We also have David Gettis who hasn't seen real playing time since John Fox was still coaching the team. Add in an aging Steve Smith and a hot/cold Lafell, how can anyone stand there and say with a straight face that RB was a bigger immediate need than WR? I'm just going to do what I have grown accustomed to with Hurney being here all those years, and that is hope for the best.

      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
