Next Richard Sherman
Next Richard Sherman
Just turn that M on his helmet upside down. Welcome to Washington!
Congrats. Way to represent the gophers!
They should move him to free safety he’s tall.
Troy “Washington football club” Vincent.
He blocked that field goal against Dallas tho so he’s aight with me.
"football club"
Congratulations Benjamin!
Giving yourself an L on the dolphins and a w on the falcons and panthers was hilarious
I think you should wait at least 3 years before you revisit your grades, because this was definitely no where close to an "A" grade for the Patriots. Baramore was a steal, and Stevenson has been solid (bit down last year though), but basically all of the other picks they made in this draft will either be on Practice Squads or roster bubble guys next year.
In the end, the 49ers traded Trey Lance away for a 3rd rounder, not even a 2nd rounder like you said. But I agree that would've been a tough prediction.
The take on what they'd trade Lance for did not age well.
But not as bad as the stay at 1 and take Bryce take.
In hindsight you gave way too many As and fell in love with way too many players, which I think is just a side effect of studying these guys for so long. Hopefully this year you are more measured… love the content tho
I would like to see "regrades" next to each grade. So we can visualize it better. I don't know personnel like you do, so I have no idea how MOST of these players are doing in the NFL. So Zach Wilson A, should have a D or F next to it. (for reference)
52:12 as a Giants fan the draft was trash.
Aaron Banks has been one of the best guards in the league this year that’s an A+ pick
I don't remember people saying Horn was better than Surtain tbh
Kendrick Green for the Steelers was a trainwreck. That’s why he was replaced.
I was big on Denver Jags Pats and Dallas people were 🤡 me at the time especially Dallas I was So right!!!!!!!!
Watching him bring up Jacee Horn 15 times is hilarious he made 1 good call and didn't even say it At the time and made 100 bad ones and trying to ignore em is hilarious… dude thinks he nailed like 90% more like 10%
Man the The NFC West had the worse division flop draft ever even THIS nut can't justify it
It's funny watching him trying to defend his horrible grades and thought process gives the 9ers incomplete " we it was even at the time a mind boggling terrible draft!!!!
To That FranchiseGuy,
I like that you are honest with Fields, and stand by your film observations.
As a bears fan who wants this team to be competitive and be a dynasty every day, I will be supportive of my quarterback, but I too will try to see what he needs to grow on.
The day fields went to us was one of the best days of my life. I want him to bring us to the promise land.
But I don’t want to be blinded by the hype and ignore all the times he shows issues.
Listen my dude, don't second guess yourself. Zach Wilson is a future NFL HoF
I completely disagree with your Amari Rodgers takes. He dropped so many balls, looked slow on the field, and just never looked like a good player. I dont remember seeing him ever make a defender miss or break a tackle. The packers putting him as a punt returner was a terrible decision.
Thank you for the timestamps, they're certainly appreciated!
I'll just comment on my team, Washington, b/c I know them.
1) Jamin Davis(LB) – Davis wasn't just bad, he was unplayable until about a third of the way into last year when he really started improving quickly. He still isn't really a playmaker though. He's just decent. This season will really determine how he's viewed.
2) Sam Cosmi(OG) – Cosmi has had trouble staying healthy. When healthy he's been a minimally functional OT. He's been asked to emergency start at OG a few times and openly complained about being moved around. This year, they're putting him at OG with a pretty mediocre RT replacement, suggesting they've lost hope in him as an OT. I'm okay with him being an OG, I just get irritated that they didn't make up their mind earlier.
3a) Benjamin St. Juste (CB) – St. Juste's main problem has been health. He took a REALLY bad concussion as a rookie, got hurt against last year. He has played in the slot, but he was…barely passable there. He's much better on the outside b/c he's not a twitched up player. He really needs to be out where his size and length can be put to good use. It's at best uncertain if he won't be CB4 this year with Forbes and Fuller outside and Martin inside. I think he should play over Fuller, but he needs to play better and stay healthy.
3b) Dyami Brown (WR) – So far, Dyami has been a bust. This is NOT just a case of him being stuck with bad QBs or low volume or buried on the depth chart. He's not been good enough. Dyami doesn't get open, and when he does his hands have been suspect. Now, to be fair, he did show a bit of spark towards the end of last year and you'd think with Howell taking over their might be some chemistry there, but don't be fooled, Dyami is the WR4 on this team…and he's more likely to move down than up the depth chart. WRs used to emerge in year 3. Brown really needs to.
4) John Bates (TE) – Bates has been EXACTLY what I thought he'd be. Great blocker, one of the best in the league at TE, but he's really just a positional check-down type receiver. He has a little more athleticism to him than you'd expect, but not enough to be anything than the true-Y that backs up a better receiving option at the position. Which…4th round…that's not terrible value.
5) Darrick Forrest (S) – Washington was basically a full time 3-safety team last year b/c they lacked CB and LB depth. Forrest got alot of PT and look solid, with a chance to grow into more than solid. I expect Percy Butler to push him for time, and now that they have better CB depth, I also expect less 3-safety formations. So if he doesn't beat Butler out, he might not play as much as last year despite McCain's departure.
6) Camaron Cheeseman (LS) – Who the f—- takes a long snapper? And they traded UP for him??? Still burns me.
7a) William Bradley-King (DE) – Basically nothing.
7b) Shaka Toney (DE) – I really wish they'd moved Toney to off-ball LB as a rookie and made him start learning. Toney was too small to be a DE in the NFL, but he had the movement skills and smarts to learn LB I think. Now he's suspended indefinitely. Probably a write-off
7c) Dax Milne (WR) – Milne is on the team mostly just to be punt returner. He never drops them. He doesn't get any yards, but Washington went through many before Milne who were dropping punts and he's an overcorrection for that. He actually saw a little PT 2 years ago b/c of injuries, but he was never anything more than someone who could be a reliable catcher if left uncovered. Which…congrats and all, but you're not surviving on that. The team is high on Kaz Allen who will almost certainly push Milne down the depth chart.
Overall, things are looking pretty optimistic for this draft class right now. 1 year ago it looked REALLY bad though, and it wouldn't take much for it to look bad again a year from now as I wouldn't say any of the top 4 picks have really cemented themselves just yet.
Just a comment, but you mentioned while the Panthers did get doodling value for Jaycee Horn, they should have drafted Surtain II. Smaller market teams WILL ALWAYS draft local talent to help put buttons in tgeir stadiums. I know you draft guru folk don't consider such stuff, I thought I might mention it to help alleviate some future head scratchings.
