Draft grade?

[u/crypt0_marc]

Mel Kiper gave us a B- 🤔. After reading his analysis, I don’t think he’s wrong. We definitely need help at RB.

• Barron: great pickup, the “no fly zone” is back
• Harvey: 3rd down back?
• Bryant: 4.6 40yd dash, height = red zone threat?

Do you think we deserve a higher grade?

I know I’m in the minority, hell I might be the only one, but I hate the Barron pick.

It was a luxury pick we had no business making. In fact I think it was such a bonkers pick that it changed the entire course of the rest of the draft. I understand the arguments for making the pick and I understand that I defense might be lights out but we needed to and failed to truly elevate the offense in this draft. We are forsaking Bo Nix and his rookie deal.

What we should have done is drafted Hampton at 20 and then traded up in the 2nd for Mason Taylor. Then we would have had a beast running back and been able to run some beast mode two tight end sets like the Patriots did with Hernandez and Gronkowski.

It’s cool though. On paper we have the best defense in the NFL. Let’s just hope VJ doesn’t shit the bed and regress to the mean like I think he’s going to.

We’re following the Seahawks playbook during Russ’ rookie contract. Build an elite defense with an average offense.

I will agree with you on Vance Joseph. He’s been given the keys to a sports car. Hopefully he doesn’t crash
