2024 NFL Draft Grades | AFC West

[@amadou234]

Ebolgbe not being the best pass rusher doesn’t matter as much for the chargers. We need a run stopper, Mack, Bosa, and Tuli are more than enough if all 3 can stay healthy

[@lightsoutdso]

Chiefs Fan. Happy about S/LB Jaden Hicks & TE Jared Wiley 🎉 but that Chargers draft has my FULL attention 👀

[@acb9896]

Guaranteed everybody is watching Boltz this year. I go back to the Fouts to JJ and Chuck Muncie era so it feels damn good.

[@CallOFDutyGamerPro]

Love the spreadsheet format you use!

[@cip7068]

The Raiders are doing right by AOC4 getting him a stud TE, Superstud guard to go to all the other moves on Offense! Love the Raiders draft expect a monster year from AOC4

[@TheSmarq17]

Or Minshew. Either can start the way things look now. Only TC competition will decide.

[@MajorPineapple12]

i'm so happy we took best available at 13 and didnt draft for need by reaching like crazy, im still mad about clelin ferrell, damon arnette and alex leatherwood a few years ago lol

[@CallOFDutyGamerPro]

Thats what I'm saying dawg, love that we bolstered the line and got Bowers to terrorize defenses. People forget AOC had limited training camp bc of McDaniels and did pretty well despite the nonsense I still believe we have something with the kid.

when? lol

[@LightiningHobo]

Chargers 7th round WR are going to be great and see a bunch of snaps. Because they're going to be run blockers during garbage time with the Chargers winning by two scores. They are just going to be on run or play action passes when the chargers don't need a first down. They were drafted to fit that strategy. Colson is a rookie who's a 4 year veteran in this scheme, this playbook, with this coaching staff. He's going to be a teacher to 10 years veterans, great value.

[@choosecarefully408]

Maybe. The past 2 OCs pretty much neutered Herbert. The current one did the same to Lamar Jackson for Three Full Years. Kurt Warner & others have made videos showing how. It's the level of ineptness that makes one wonder if it isn't intentional. That's not hyperbole, it was inexcusable. I can link the videos if you want. It won't brighten your day though. Now that he's gone would you want to see how Kellen Moore failed to elevate him? That way you can be relieved he's on another team!

[@itsaboutTime2revolt]

LoL. Typical Chargers fan comment, that literally only makes sense to...UmMmMMmm.....NO ONE. What a bunch of jibberish.

[@sauldemize9998]

Enjoy the content. I will say as a Chiefs fan many pundits thought Kingsley was the pick at 32. Top get an athletic LT at 63 is ridiculous value. I will bet just about any amount of money he will be a better OT than several OTs drafted above him

[@amadou234]

Polar opposite of Kenneth Murray is exactly what I want. I think K9 could’ve succeeded under a different staff but he was never in the right position. When he made the right read it was awesome, problem was that happened max 5 plays a game.

[@jameshannagan4256]

I think all 4 teams had really good drafts a(if Nix works out) which sucks if you are a Raider fan like I am.

[@choosecarefully408]

I'm trying to figure out how anyone _foresees_ Nix failing. His age? Aaron Rodgers & Jordan Love started late. You can't tell me watching while not playing in games is better for development than playing. If you ask me, the Vikings should have gone after him. He has the arm & the accuracy, JJ & Addison run routes at a high level. Perfect match.

[@jameshannagan4256]

@@choosecarefully408 It's because nonone has any idea if he can spin it in the intermediate game that's so important in the NFL. Hid deep game is also pretty suspect so yea if they just throw short passes and screens he'd be a shoo in for the HOF. He's a lot smaller and less strong as Herbert so I don't buy the Herbert nonsense (he's just like Herbert) he's nothing like Herbert he's smaller and doesn't have the arm strength. So in summation I would say there's a lot of question marks and anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional.

[@choosecarefully408]

@@jameshannagan4256 I ignore all media 'comparisons' because like deciding in advance about whether a player can work out, my mind thinks of such things as useless distractions. Years ago I read a *collection of studies* about human nature, Eliot Aronson's "The Social Animal." It kinda made me aware that _I'm_ the one who is outside the norm. But this is a long way around to tell you I'm not ranting here. I'm analytical. Comparisons & fears aside, what level of league play has 45 TDs to only 3 INTs as "concerning?" _Did he_ attend the senior bowl or the combine? If so, didn't they test his ability to throw long? People make an effort to verbally destroy what doesn't fit their Preconceived Notions (PNs). (That's another area I differ from the majority in. I regard *all PNs* as useless things, even my own). If any of the concerns expressed had been validated, we'd have known it before now. This is just people being unable to regard their PNs as invalid. It's easy. Just consciously do it once, realize that what you're saying about something comes from what you want it to be, not what actually is. You'll never unlearn how to do that. Start with Santa. Then move onto politicians.

[@ape166]

@@choosecarefully408 Love and rodgers were 21 and 22 when they got drafted and developed behind a hof qb and got developed into high caliber players, nix on the other hand is a 24 year old rookie who will most likely beat out 2 low end backups in training camp with a drew brees made sean payton

[@brianrusher3617]

I hope Xavier Worthy works for the Chiefs but he only caught 60% of his targets in 2021 and ONLY 51% in 2022 so I have serious doubts about him. He was going in the 2nd round on a lot of mock drafts. Ladd McConkey would have been a much better choice, and they wouldn't have had to trade up since the Chargers drafted him at number 34 overall. McConkey caught 79% of the balls thrown to him in 2021, 71% in 2022, and 81% in 2023, he is of course slower with a 4.39 40 yard dash time but the Chiefs ABSOLUTELY need someone who can hold on to the ball.

[@TheSmarq17]

IMHO, with the info that I'm a lifelong Raider fan, the Chefs had the best draft simply by getting Worthy for that video-game offense. The Donkeys will get Nix killed this season if they don't work on that porous O-line. I think Estime will be a pleasant surprise for them though. The Dolts had a good overall draft and will look like a Harbaugh team very soon. As for my Raiders, while Bowers might very well end a HoF TE, we NEEDED a RT! There were several available at #13 - especially Fuaga and we never addressed that need. JPJ was an awesome pick and I'm OK with Richardson and Eichenberg. Glaze was a severe reach though with more than a few others (Goncalves/Haynes) were available. Of course, nothing about any of these players will be known UNTIL they actually play this season and we all can then see if they do fit or not.

[@ape166]

RT spot is filled with munford and that has been pretty clear they are confident in him also no point in getting haynes when they already drafted there future rg or lg of the future and goncalves is not a better prospect then glaze

[@CallOFDutyGamerPro]

Glaze is going to surprise people he has solid technique is only 21 still room to get stronger and work on his anchor@@ape166

[@CallOFDutyGamerPro]

At first I had the same mindset but Bowers you cant pass up on that his not just a TE his a Big Slot, HB an offensive coordinators dream! Glad we got him!

[@ezshottah3732]

I was worried about you guys getting fuaga. Bowers is a good pick but to call him HOF’er…without a great qb to get him the ball…

[@ape166]

@@ezshottah3732 You do not need a high caliber qb when you have a top 10 blocking unit an elite defense and gallup,tucker,adams,jakobi,bowers,mayer. Also fuaga will be a guard in the nfl and we filled that spot in the second

[@davidclark3474]

Broncos take a 24 year old QB with a mid R2 grade at 12 and get a B? They had a shit draft compared to the rest of the division
