Pitre is nothing more than an underweight box linebacker. It’s not blind to say he can’t cover a bed with a blanket and is just a good, physical run defender. I hope he can develop down the field and learn to keep up with receivers, but he is certainly a liability as of right now.

[@rifraf1717]

There's a reason Stingley was taken 3rd overall...the way he suffocated his fellow LSU Tiger Ja'Marr Chase by staying tight throughout his routes is incredibly rare in today's NFL. His issue comes from the frequency of injuries, but beyond that he has a very bright future ahead, and possibly could lead the league next year if the Texan improve their front 7 even more.

@@tricky5222 thats a scary thought considering he literally had nobody else on that lions defensive line to take attention away from him leading to hutch always getting doubled or even triple teamed and with those stats despite that its a scary thought to think what hutch would be with someone else on his dlne

[@danielvisintainer3352]

I feel like Jamo's production is more a B-/B, while his pure receiving stats aren't amazing he's been critical to that offense, from his success on sweeps, taking defenses attentions away off the top (opening up the field for AMSB, Laporta, Reynolds and Gibbs to be more efficient on check downs) and has done a ton in the way of blocking. Many of the Lions long touchdowns were results of Jamo's downfield blocking, even taking out two defenders on Monty's 75yd TD.

[@kimyona9746]

I'd say C is the fairest grade. If he doesn't produce more, his Arthur Smith Kyle Pitts level decoy role isn't going to hold up. He was advertised as much more than he is currently. Optimistic he does better next season, but time will tell what his career will be like.

[@kimyona9746]

I imagine using him more on screens instead of mostly jet sweeps and deep shots will get him to be significantly more useful. Imagine a double sided screen pass option of Jamo and Jahmyr

It should be noted that Washington trading down also allowed them to get Brian Robinson and Sam Howell. BRob is looking like he can be Washingtons workhorse RB, and while Sam didn’t have the best year he did show he can be a solid NFL QB. When looking at the total value of that trade back, and not just Dotson, I’d say both the Commanders and Saints mutually benefitted.

I'd give Jameson Williams a B/B- so far. He's added some dynamic playmaking abilities, and as you mentioned, the Lions have a lot of weapons for Goff, so he isn't getting a ton of targets or play designed for him. His first year was basically a wash given the injury he was coming off of

[@Charleybones]

And Goff is still adjusting to his speed. Jamo was under thrown on at least half of all the deep passes thrown to him this year. despite this, he has come down with the ball on every contested catch that he has gotten his hands on. He was clutch in the Lions post season. And his end sweeps are a thing of beauty...

Kind of weird that Garrett Wilson and Drake London were giving good grades using poor QB play for context but Jahan Dotson got a C without QB play being mentioned. Expect him with Mayes and an improved line to make a huge leap.

[@poeticalvision]

Howell was much better than Ridder or Zach Wilson. The only reason the QB play was even bad in Washington was their swiss cheese line. Howell was still productive.

[@rambler6519]

@poeticalvision With Howell, even Scary Terry's stats fell off. He was productive for about 1/3 of the year before falling off to a bottom 5 QB. And before that, Jahan was depending on Carson Wentz and Heinicke to get him the ball. He absolutely deserves as much benefit of the doubt due to bad QB play as the other receivers.

[@wileyvellines8821]

I guess I see it as he’s not playing as good when he has a bad qb and honestly Washington’s O line was not good in 2023 but Sam Howell was not bad at times

[@LudiColorado]

Jameson Williams I don’t have a problem with the grade, but he did take a big leap forward near the end of the season and the playoffs. I think he’s shown he has huge play potential at any time, and Ben Johnson has started to really design plays for him/Goff has started to look for him more I think he cements himself as a big play threat WR2 in 2024 and improves his grade

[@Harpazoed]

Jamo will be a very good WR. I’m glad you are grading this now. Instead of the beginning of the year. Ben Johnson will figure out how to get him involved. And Hutch is Hutch. He’s all about Detroit Rock City 💥💙

[@seancm5329]

One thing that's important to Mention with kayvon is the Defensive scheme he was in.

I remember a concern with Hutchinson was that he might be a finished product with a limited ceiling. I tell you what, when you mentioned his pressures increasing that much in a single season it tells you all you need to know about this "finished" product. Every time I turn on the film, every down, I am stunned by his level of effort he gives. Even some of the better pass rushers in the league give tells with their play; with Hutchinson it is truly hard to determine because his switch is always on. I guarantee you the lineman guarding him doesn't enjoy contending with that. Nothing against Walker, but there's no question in my mind who I'd rather take for my football team of the two today. Players who play with boundless energy like Hutchinson are extremely hard to come by and set the tone for your football.

But I would agree that he hasn't been a 12th overall pick catcher of the football yet.

I would argue against the Jameson Williams C-, I think an incomplete would be better but look at the conference championship game, he had 67 yards and 2 tds on 3 touches (3 total targets, 2 catches and one run). The problem is he is schemed in a way that they aren't giving him the volume to really be the big play maker he was drafted as. He is often the deep threat that allows for Laporta and St Brown to work the inside of the field, despite rarely getting a chance to make a play on those balls (and often Jared misses him when he doesn't break it open). I dont think its an A or even necessarily a B grade, but C- seems a little too low.

Glad to see Travon improving i was mad skeptical abt him, but hes been much better all id say is get his pressure rate up more and make tackles when u blow up a play

[@kimyona9746]

And the fact that he can zone cover a tight end and man cover some of them too is straight insane at his size. On another note, I'd like to see him be used more in Spys and I formations. I imagine his size might be the reason why he isn't, but that would be cool. You can do so much with his physical toolset. Did he deserve to be a top 3 pick? Absolutely not. But top 5? Top 10? Why not, he's too athletically gifted and polished in run defense for him to at the very least be starting caliber most of his career. While it wasn't a slam dunk pick, he wasn't the worst choice for the first overall pick.

@@kimyona9746 yea i wasnt a Travon fan tho full transparency proved me wrong spy could work he seems to usually run a contain but one thing id say is when hes played 3T it works wonders so if we were to somehow get a better pass rusher like Danielle and try out Travon whos had proven success in pass rushing and run defense at 3T in Georgia it could make a serious DL and fill a hole that my Jags desperately need filled

[@kimyona9746]

@@loganearp2338 absolutely. He's built to be a 3 tech/spy/run d guy. He's not a boundary pass rusher at this time. He'd probably excel more as a middle linebacker than a 4-3 edge rusher/3-4 boundary pass rusher if he weighed 250 instead of 270. His skillset would make him just go through all the guards with those arms being 36 inches and with his speed to power ratio, he would dominate guards. While the potential to be a boundary pass rusher is there. His skillset would just make him so much better in those non-traditional roles. He's a middle linebacker the size of a 3-4 end that can 3-tech he's gonna be insane with all them stunts and semi-interior pass rush things

Thank you so much!

[@matthewdigiacomo2580]

I agree Dotson may have been taken a bit early, but also think his numbers would be better in his first two seasons with better QB play. I see a pass on that is given to guys like Drake London and Garrett Wilson. But let's be honest ... having Heinicke, Wentz and/or Howell throw you the ball is no better than having Desmond Ridder or Zach Wilson as your QB.

A B- for Kayvon is wild ngl

[@j.r.3945]

B is fair for the #5 pick who although he has flashed dominance and has put up pretty good overall numbers he’s also been very inconsistent and sometimes only shows up when he wants to

[@MrAMP1520]

Only rating I disagree with is Dotson vs Williams, I definitely think Dotson should be higher than him. Williams has had way more consistent QB play and play calling. Dotson also has an alpha with Terry McLaurin above him but Dotson has still been able to produce. I understand Williams was injured for most of his first year, but I also think his suspension this year should be considered in his grade, he missed games for something that was completely in his control. Based on the expectation I think Williams should be an F, and Dotson I'd have somewhere in the C's.

Giving hutch an A+ is so funny man

[@loganhoche9068]

Sauce & Hutch are generational players. The fact 2 defensive players were taken in front of them baffles me.

[@j.r.3945]

In fairness to Kayvon he was in a scheme that didn’t fit him where pass rushers always struggle and he was playing from behind A LOT he was also getting double teamed every other play because there was nobody on the opposite side for the offenses to worry about with azeez ojulari injured almost every game. The scheme change should benefit him a ton and he could also benefit from a lot of time in the weight room getting his lower body stronger

I actually laughed when the jags picked trayvon #1 was so hyped to pick him up at #2

[@mattgalumbeck8021]

I don’t blame Dotson I blame coaching Eb refused to use him he would go multiple games without target this should a good year coming up for him

[@DanHooker-z9g]

I’m so happy we have Aiden Hutchinson. When he got pancaked by little that was so fuckin funny😂

[@Sean-bu1kc]

good list, other than walker having a better grade than Thibs, despite having arguably worse stats in year 2 as the #1 overall pick

Bro, your comparing Chris olave to tyreek hill and Justin Jefferson in his second year? Are you high?🤣

Sauce is also from detroit MI. I always joke around the lions need to trade for him lol

I remember watching Kyle Hamilton in college. I was enamored with him, on all my mocks I had him going top 5, and I am ecstatic I got that one right.

Seattle drafted the best Tackle in this draft and didn't have to trade up. Thanks Denver!

[@alexwaller2237]

I am a UGA fan and I have always thought the Jags made a mistake falling in love with his combine numbers more than what was on tape. He has not been a bust but Hutchsion has a higher motor and is a better football player to this point.

[@cpoole371]

The Wonderlic test and 40-yard dash are 2 of the most overrated measurables at the combine. How many great players had their draft stock hurt by them, and how many busts had great ones.

[@druiz012]

Damn... its crazy how Hutch went from 55 pressures to 110 but sacks only went up by 2. 33 QB hits is nuts though. Kayvon had 44 pressures? Not even in the same realm as Hutch.
