[@MazeDaGr8]

I really like this concept of revisiting Drafts every five years Although I hope you consider doing this for even older Drafts like say 2012, 2001 Maybe even '89

[@fortynights1513]

89 is notable for the four Hall of Famers in the first five selections, and Steve Atwater later in round one also made it in. Not as much depth as some years that are considered as good as it is typically (23 total pro bowlers is actually pretty low compared to some), but the best selections make it an excellent class overall. A hot take I have related to 1989’s draft: Tony Mandarich in 1989 is certainly a terrible pick, but he’s not the worst pick ever. True, he was an unsuccessful tackle who was gone in three years (would be ok for Indy years later though), and the next three picks were Barry Sanders, Derrick Thomas and Deion Sanders. But if Green Bay wanted to take a tackle, then 1989 wasn’t the year to take one; none made a pro bowl or received any individual recognition from what I can tell. While the Hall of Famers afterward were right there, none were linemen. Todd Blackledge in 1983 was a far worse pick. Sure, eighth overall vs second, but he didn’t pan out, and Dan Marino and Jim Kelly were both taken by the next Kansas City pick so they missed out on Hall of Famers who could have played the same position.

[@thepolarphantasm2319]

I would love to see Tree get Ryan Leaf to join him for a draft of that late 90s-mid 00s era In fact, if possible id make Ryan Leaf your go-to tag partner for crapping on drafts and/or giving drafts their due. Also I imagine he and tree would get on well... and I imagine he has a legendary F U Spanos buried within him 😂

[@darealconman]

@@fortynights1513 Kansas City tried this exact same strategy again in 2017. But this time, they would fix that mistake by drafting what could possibly be the most talented QB in NFL history when his career is all said and done. The rest of the AFC West is going to hate Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs for years to come, especially my Broncos. I wasn’t alive in the John Elway-era (I was born in 2002), but man, do I wish I could go back to those days.

[@Deezejuevos]

Drafts that old have been revisited time and time again, especially notable ones like those. I imagine tree isn’t in a rush to just repeat the things that have already been said million times, it’s hard to add anything new, especially when the players have all retired and don’t have a chance to change how people view them.

2018 really was a fantastic draft for the Ravens. Even with how things have played out since then, getting Lamar, Mark Andrews, Orlando Brown, Deshon Elliott, Bradley Bozeman, and Gus Edwards in the same year is just awesome to see.

[@agent_of_cthulhu]

Ravens definitely got a haul of great players in the draft that year.

[@choosecarefully408]

"Even with how things have played out since then" right. Roman "just played out" calling The Worst passing plays for three years kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJjJc5Jqecyhe7M, Harbaugh & the owner "just accidentally" kept him on. I'm absolutely 100% certain that their intent in doing this was to sink *the team* & not specifically LJ8's chances of getting a big paycheck. Absolutely certain. & I'm also 100% certain that the Giants would rather pay Daniel Jones that much $ just to keep their offense stagnant than to pay just a little more to get LJ7 to win them a super-bowl. I'm also 100% certain that the Patriots, Broncos, Jets, Dolphins, Commanders, Seahwaks & every south division team (except Jacksonville) is 100% certain of their super-bowl winning hopes without him. Especially the Bucs who aren't rebuilding & are going to make it with Baker Mayfield. All of this just "worked out." 🤭 🙄

For Cleveland, he was. He had four seasons of incredibly uneven play that didn't get the Browns anywhere of note (that they won a playoff game for the first time ever with him is nice but like... they were playing against a paper tiger. Fucking Tim Couch could have won) and got ran out of town before his rookie contract was finished for barely any compensation. For a first overall pick? That's a bust.

[@AutoArtemAuto]

​@@TheShinyFeraligatr And like Tim Couch, Baker got screwed over by the organization itself. It wasn't the QB that was the issue. It was the Browns. Note how they (Haslam) ditched him to get a QB with multiple sexual assault charges and they haven't done anything other than get clowned by the Texans in the playoffs. Also, Tampa pretty much revived his career. Won a divisional title, won a playoff game. And he's still doing good. Blame the organization, not the player.

[@TheShinyFeraligatr]

@@AutoArtemAuto I think Baker Mayfield has a long, fruitful career in the NFL ahead of him, bar something terrible happens. But that pick was a bust for Cleveland because they got fucking nothing out of him.

[@luispena3910]

Baker was kinda a bust considering he was a 1st over all pick … when the browns moved on from him it was because they had enough talent for a Super Bowl run but baker couldn’t get it done … baker was just blessed to end up in Tampa in a offense with a bunch of weapons and a fan base that doesn’t really have a lot of pressure on him because Tom Brady just got done giving them a championship

One rough season caused the Browns to turn on him in an outright farce. Also Denzel Ward being a success and Saquon not for injury concerns is weird. They have equal pro bowls and Saquon has three 1k yard seasons.

[@Jmisaprodriver]

Baker as a bust is unfair in ways because if he never played with that blown shoulder it would be a different story. If he somehow revives his career in Tampa bay that’ll be nice.

[@davehallam3894]

It's also safe to say any of the other QBs in that draft wouldn't have done as well in the circumstances. Allen and Lamar would not have dropped into good systems, darnold and Rosen simply sucked. He was the best pick and did pretty decent all things considered

[@michaelhession2105]

As a Ravens fan, this was our best draft since 1996, and its fitting that it was the last draft that Ozzie Newsome was in charge of. Look at who we got. Lamar Jackson, Mark Andrews, Orlando Brown Jr, DeShon Elliott, and Bradley Bozeman. That's close to a generational draft. Not to mention we made Philadelphia drink the stupid for Timmy Jernigan and Mike Wallace in order to get Lamar. Speaking of Lamar, and the Ravens, they are plotting a scheme in order for them to make a huge move for DeAndre Hopkins. We have Andrews, OBJ, and Bateman already, WE'RE GETTING D-HOP EVEN IF WE GIVE UP GUS EDWARDS AND DEVIN DUVERNAY! (The problem is that we have to compete with the Chiefs and Bills to get him) If we get Hopkins, Lamar is easily signing an extension.

Can't wait for the NHL Drafy coverage from the UrinatinTree. This years NHL entry draft is bomb loaded with tallent !!!!!

[@brandenmaffei2175]

seeing this now, baker isn’t a bust anymore. he did some work with the buccs

[@fortynights1513]

His time in Cleveland was more mid, but he proved to simply need a change of scenery

[@bluestarlockc4853]

Pats fan here. Wanted Nick Chubb and Lamar from this draft, and got Michel and Wynn. Will never forget this

[@broadstreetbullies849]

The David Akers bit 😂😂

[@Jon_the_Wizard]

Man, that guy announcing Philly's pick at the end was fantastic. That is old-school pro wrestling HEAT right there.

[@otaviofrnazario]

David Akers... former kicker of many years with Philadelphia, ended his career with the 49ers

[@johnchedsey1306]

The injury theme was so strong with some of these poor kids. Penney in particular was sad because he clearly is an extremely talented kid. Hope he has at least one full season in the NFL before he's done. Also, Seattle should never use their first pick on running backs...it just doesn't work out for them.

[@fortynights1513]

They did not this year. The last time we used a first round pick on a back and it worked out was Curt Warner in 1983 arguably (unless John L Williams was also a first in 86).

[@johnchedsey1306]

@@fortynights1513 haha, that's going back 40 years to find a good 1st rounder RB. I was thinking more along the lines of Penney (who sadly has been unlucky with injuries) or Christine Michael off the top of my head. Michael was a second rounder but Seattle's first pick, if I recall.

[@blakeattig5426]

Can’t wait for “Congrats Lightning!”

[@EisenSMT]

Ah, nostalgia. This was the draft that coincided with my really getting back into football. Good times when we thought Josh Rosen and Sam Darnold would be good

[@thelinedrive]

Josh Rosen as a bust I will forever maintain came down to people continuing to fuck around with him and putting him in a position to fail. Guy was legit and got put on teams that immediately went ohh shiny at the next guy.

[@Tom_bradys_unretirement]

@@thelinedrive he was cocky af and sucked every chance he got after that, not giving him the benefit of the doubt

[@lucasgoncalves7774]

​@@thelinedrive Funniest part is that everything you said now looks like might apply to Darnold lmao

[@itsnotcolby]

its actually crazy to look at this draft because normally, 5 years u can tell where a player is in there career but I feel like this is one of the few drafts where u have to wait another 5 years to tell where half these players truly are

[@EthanW201]

This would be SO different if done 1 or 2 years ago. Shocking how quick things change

[@senororlando2]

@8:28 we all did, man. After the dorm room hot tub I thought the dude was destined for greatness

[@darkestbefore]

Omg i just realized that the tree jynx hit baker Mayfield

[@darkestbefore]

And sort of sam darnold it just came a little later

[@FOWLKON1339]

Tree drops a video, I simply watch.

[@jawndice933]

Ravens had an amazing draft in 2018

[@tleoipl37]

I’m ready for 19s retrospective

[@joseamieva2168]

Sam Darnold 2024 revenge tour #Ibelieved

[@jamanger]

baker gets a bust “cause of the rules,” but minkah gets a success despite the acknowledgment that miami weren’t the ones who reaped those rewards… don’t show your yinzer bias too much u-tree!

[@crimsonnight9150]

Let's go!!! Can't wait for 2019 revisit vid next year

[@colbykuns1909]

YESSS FINALLY

[@DoctorWu23]

Thank you for putting the Akers thing in at the end. One of the greatest moments in eagles history.

[@nw4042]

Wonder if Baker will still qualify as a bust after a few more years rebuilding his career in Tampa. Dude did a fine job the year after this came out, we'll see if it continues.

[@imanoldurango8213]

He can’t be a bust if he’s starting.

[@nw4042]

@@imanoldurango8213 Ryan Leaf spent two years starting 21 games. JaMarcus Russell started 25 games. Starts do not equal not bust for the first overall pick.

[@GuyN0ir]

I was literally just thinking that this video might be soon about an hour ago. Thank you for this distraction while I'm at work.

[@xanzibar5374]

You jinxed Baker by labeling him as a Bust. Look at him now in Tampa

[@kekoa028]

baker is mid at best

[@paytoncommack5209]

I like coming back to these kind of videos to show that someone like Baker can be considered a bust one year and have a resurgence to another playoff win the next. Hes finally in a respectable organization that can understand him and develop a game under him

[@andyjohnson5244]

Please keep doing these! Can we get the same with NHL free agency as well. I know u did one in the past
