The pff guy who said herbert can't play never said he was wrong but still has a hate boner for herbert. It's good to see people admit they were wrong about herbert. What they did to herbert in oregon was down right criminal. They hid his immense talent with awful play calling and schemes and If herbert played at Alabama he would have broken records and possibly won a heisman.

[@musser919]

You should review draft Grades after 4 years in the league just to see if your opinions change after their rookie contracts/ hearing into 5th year options. I love your draft takes and think it would be fine to give your final grade for them at that point.

[@eagleboy2202iam]

Don’t think you can keep Love an A+ while keeping Hurts an F. He doesn’t have much upside but at least he’s contributed to wins.

[@neonwhitea.1548]

Hurts is an A for where they drafted him even if he never is the best qb and love is a C grade at best

[@TopSoulMan]

To be fair, he gave Love a "TBD" grade. But the fact that Hurts keeps his F grade is insane..

[@rambaral1698]

Its F because the process is terrible, getting Hurts in the 2nd for a noncompetitive team when he is essentially a middle of the road qb with a similar ceiling is a move to go .500, not to build for the future. On top of that you have Wentz rostered and are making essentially a lateral move in terms of competing for a championship. That being said I think it should be a D rather than F given the Wentz trade that makes it less of an awful pick

[@bodhisfattva7462]

it wasnt wasted...Rodgers woke the F up...by picking love they got amazing value in turning Rodgers into the best QB in the league again...well best outside of playoffs...there is no chance Love on any other team would have played better than the revitalized Rodgers.

[@cutmeloosebruce1955]

@@bodhisfattva7462 It was a waste. 1st round picks aren't benched their entire rookie contract if they're worth anything. The packers could've taken the best player on the board or taken a need, instead they took a QB when they already had a top 5 QB in the league.

[@Aryeh487]

Important to remember that a lot of the grades are based on process rather than player. Things have changed in hindsight for a lot of these teams that don't really invalidate what you originally saw on tape. It's just very hard to look back at these grades and say that Okudah wasn't the right pick at 3 and etc.

[@nfugitt89]

I agree for the most part, however I will say there were people at the time before the draft questioning if Okudah was worth it. Prospect fatigue happens, but Okudah showed some reddish flags (pink flags?) in the lead up to the draft that ended up panning out a bit

[@teejae5540]

This is probably a good example to remember that how you view draft prospects personally is important, it’s good to stick by players you like JJ was my WR1 and Antonio Gibson or Aj Dillon or Herbert or Akers or Terrell all did well too despite what analysts said

[@DrummerTF1]

For guys you don’t get to scout, I think it’d be helpful to put “N/A” instead of a C just so you know in the future that you didn’t get to them when looking back and so you’re not grading the pick without having watched the player first. Just a suggestion. Keep up the amazing content, love it all!

19:08 is LOL. You were 100% correct about Jefferson over Reagor, but come on. The diss on Jalen Hurts was a really bad take. "Has Jalen Hurts really gotten them anywhere? Not really." Then Eagles go on to the Superbowl vs. Chiefs. Let's re-grade the Giants. I agree that (for the most part) you accurately graded it. Good job! Andrew Thomas: A. Correct! True Left Tackle. Lots of TV pundits got him wrong. Grade is A+. Xavier McKinney: A. Correct! Total playmaker. Could easily upgrade to A+. Matt Peart: A+. Incorrect. Grade is D. Lacked stoutness. Clinging to a roster spot. Likely cut in 2023. Replaced by Evan Neal. Darnay Holmes: A. Incorrect. Grade is a B or C+. Tough slot corner but who is very grabby and gets called for PI. Shane Lamieux: B+. Grade is F but injuries were hard to predict. Ironman in college but couldn't stay healthy in NFL. Likely cut in 2023. Cam Brown: A. Ok. Grade is B. Solid special teams but has done little aside from Special Teams. It's a 6th round pick. Carter Coughlin: A+. Grade is a B. Solid pick for the 7th. Mainly just Specials. Converted from Edge to depth off-ball LB. TJ Brunson: C. Correct. Practice Squad player and then cut. Chris Williamson: C. Correct. Never made the team. Tae Crowder: C. Incorrect! This was a A+ pick for Mr. Irrelevant. He was a ILB starter who flashed athleticism and playmaking (former RB).

[@thawkereynolds]

7th round A’s are tough to knock. But idgaf the Jordan Love was never a good pick.

[@JeKramxel]

Everyone and their mothers were wrong on Herbert, me included. I hated it when we drafted him! But more importantly than being wrong is trying to understand why we were all so wrong. I really undervalued his ability to spread the ball. It was an obvious thing from his tape, and not something that should be overlooked, like it was. Especially because it means he IS going through his progressions, and finding someone to get the ball to. I really overestimated how quickly NFL coaching can get a player free of terrible habits. In Justin's case was that ridiculous ball flip he always did after receiving the snap. By the end of training camp it was already coached out of him. Another thing that should be noted was him being a checkdown machine, and not going deep that often. This was all about Oregon's scheme, and even though he does tend to check down at times, he does read the whole field (like I mentioned earlier). Another mental note right there.

[@mr.brenman2132]

His generational physical talent should have also come into play when evaluating him. 6'6" 240 with a cannon and mobility. His Rose bowl performance where he beat the Badgers with his legs should have eliminated a lot of doubts about him. They said he didn't have the fire but that game proved that he did.

[@richardcoords1610]

33:08 was an enigmatic home run, and your commentary was correct in every regard. It was not a Wiff. He wasn't a fit with the Bills but was a stud WR1 for the playoff 2022 Giants who paradoxically had the *same* OC in coach Daboll. How does that make sense? Nonetheless, he was everything you said he would be...but for the Giants.

[@ChumblesMumbles]

at 14:52 "this is the year that we find out if Devin Duvernay can play". We did, and he can't. Or at least the offensive scheme sucks for receivers and the backup quarterbacks were terrible, so at best it's still a TBD, which sucks for everyone involved.

[@robe2504]

As a Vikes fan I think you can give yourself a W. I think you were right overall, and there are still a few tbds for that draft because of Zimmer's 2021 feud/vendetta with Spielman that saw many inferior vets played ahead of Rick's recent picks. I think Dantzler will be an unquestioned starter, and we might see more of players like Hand, Dye, Lynch, Willekes in 2023.

[@craigburghardt8604]

I like what you are doing and appreciate the work you put in. I have one small critique which would lead to more work for you. Not sure how you get the pool of players you rate but you often miss many players that end up getting drafted. You always give those picks a default grade of C. Perhaps it would behoove you to take a little time, post draft, to evaluate those players before posting draft evaluations.

[@denniscarney5249]

@@ThatFranchiseGuy This is a pretty nuanced discussion so let me say a few things up front. 1) I'm not trying to tear you down. This video was over 90 minutes long and I'm sure you spent much more than that making it. That, along with your willingness to admit faults, proves to me how much you care. I tend to over-analyze everything in my life, so I'm simply passing along my "hot takes" for your consideration, not as criticism. 2) if I were an NFL GM, you'd 100% have a job scouting linemen, no questions asked. There are obviously scouts/evaluators working for certain teams today who are less accurate then you. 3) I completely agree with the scoring of your team grades, including the "incompletes." 4) I've ONLY watched this video and don't know how you honestly evaluated every given player's talent. Given the number of times you stopped and played your comments though, I believe you're being honest. 5) you're grades for each specific pick is NOT about talent, but rather value right? There's no way Mims, Shenault, or Reagor is an "A." They are currently "Cs" at best, if not worse. You did OK with QBs (minus Herbert), RBs, and DBs. You stunk at LB by your own admission and I would say if you made a spreadsheet by position of each grade, you'd see that you were about perfect on O-line, 80% or better on D-line and DBs, 50-70% on everything else minus WR and LB.

[@denniscarney5249]

That's the method I would use doing my own self-analysis -- to determine where I needed to improve -- anyway. Might not be for you, and I'm not certain my percentages hold up if you take the time to actually build out said spreadsheet but those are guesses based on watching the video one time.

To be fair about the Herbert analysis/criticism, in my eyes alot of the things that you said and other people said about him during the draft process was absolutely true at that time. The key words are: at that time. One of the big differences between us armchair GMs and actual GMs is they get to meet the player and talk to the player many times throughout the process, as well as his friends, family, coaches etc. So just because a player struggles with the mental side of the game, doesn't mean a team can't meet him, realize he's very bright, and believe they can coach it into him. This what I think happened with Josh Allen. He had tremendous gifts but horrible habits - I didn't like him but Buffalo believed they could coach it out of him and they did. The same thing happened with Herbert, it just happened alot faster because he happens to be tremendously bright - something we all heard, but aren't able to believe in without getting the opportunities real GMs get to meet players. This is why I believe you see teams buying high on these boom or bust QBs. My hope is that somehow the same thing can happen with Fields and my Bears. Trubisky didn't have the baseline physical talent of a Herbert/Allen/Fields and thus he ended up not being a good comparison to Herbert/with a different career outcome. Fields and Malik Willis would be in this same category, where you are betting on the gifts raising the player's 'floor' and coaching the bad habits out through time.

I would do draft reviews after 5 years not 2 because some project players might start to do good after 5 years

I’m a raiders fan, calling Bryan edwards a good player definitely a little much. Most of what you said about him is right, he can’t separate, struggles in zone, and isn’t a good route runner. He just is so physically imposing he can make maybe a decent play a game. D- C not really a huge whiff

[@zmr3352]

As of right now for the Giants (Rounds 1-4) ... Andrew Thomas = A+ (Best tackle in football, or at least top 2 or 3.) Xavier McKinney = B+ (Good safety with some more room to grow.) Matt Peart = C- (Not a terrible pick at the time, but he hasn't gotten many chances. Showed promise with run blocking, but pass protection was bad. Might be ok depth.) Darnay Holmes B-/B (Solid corner that has a propensity for bad penalties.) Also, as a unexpected surprise, Hodgins has been great for us, especially considering he was a 6th round pick.

[@Frost-ze6rw]

The Eagles draft should honestly be at least a B+ because of that Hurts pick. That might be one of your worst takes ever

I still can't believe everyone just was not able to see how good herb is

[@lukeallen7529]

The reason tennessee didn't like Evans was because he was hurt, like all the time. Never saw playing time cause he was never available.

[@avery11123]

Ooh.. I remember that Justin Hebert grade...

[@natewhalez]

Darrell Taylor is a stud and is not the same as Alton Robinson. He had a red shirted year and played like a beast last year

[@robe2504]

W - right letter grade L - wrong letter grade wash - clouded by tbds

[@neonwhitea.1548]

I was super critical of the Clyde pick for the chiefs and all my other chiefs fan friends were calling me a hater and to trust veach…

[@kareemkiswani5782]

According to the giants coaches Matt Peart just doesn’t have that “dog” in him

[@nicksorenson346]

Geno stone gets some playing time, mostly because of Marcus Peters’ injury, he just resigned, think you’ll see him as a role player on defense this year. 7th round steal

[@organicheals]

The echo chamber that was Justin Herbert’s pre draft analysis is comical. As someone that watched him live in Autzen it was crazy seeing the ball explode off his hand. And remember he had to learn a new offense constantly.

[@ThatFranchiseGuy]

His college tape wasn't good. Nobody denied the arm talent. I even said he will have top 5 arm talent the second he got drafted.

[@organicheals]

@@ThatFranchiseGuy I think a lot of people forgot he had to constantly learn new offenses as well. This year will be the first time he has the same offense in the last 6 years

[@arunbuck7084]

I think you're still underevaluating jalen hurts. The man has only ever improved since getting a starting role, in college he got better, and in the NFL he's gotten better. Is her perfect no, but he's developing the way an NFL QB used to, he seems like he has the ceiling to be The Guy by year four and Philly sees this.

[@wp215jroxk7]

He just be d.e on the eagles fr as a whole he never gives them credit, especially hurts😂even tho he was improving throughout the season besides against the bucs

Queen and Murray have changed the perception of LB in the first forever.
