hoekd0250 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I actually really like the too part of this draft to setup how we deal with options next offseason. Without AJ Dillion we could have gotten stuck with a bad cap scenerio at rb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linsley and Jones not so much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoekd0250 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Looking at team that usually draft good. Between the packers, saints, and patriots we took no wrs. The seahawks took 1 in the 7th rd. Maybe the class wasn't as good as we thought just a lot of quantity not really quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Seems to me they're just giving up on Aaron Rodgers. They'll cut him after 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry not sorry! HA. Too bad Howie Roseman decided to ruin that plan and my hopes and dreams! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is grading your draft as the worst and ours one of the best.. no one knows anything it’s all speculation. This could be the best draft in the history of your team and the worst of ours, we will see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one that I read thought Love was an expensive reach, but most didn’t even mention that - just that GB didn’t take a receiver, therefore it sucked. The Patriots didn’t take a receiver either (which is considered by many as a huge need for them), nor did they take a QB, which also left many scratching their heads. Most draft grades I’ve seen for them have been in the C or D range also. Point is, none of those idiots know a team’s draft board and will only give a high grade to teams who grabbed the shiny toys. Shiny toys have a pretty significant bust rate also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rthom348 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 You know what? I change my mind (aside from Jordan Love that early). I think we'll revisit this draft class in a few years, and we'll look upon it more favorably than we do now. I'm excited about Deguara and Dillon. Got insurance along the oline. And hopefully Martin can be a plus. Cautiously optimistic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to prove a point, is all. You don't grade a draft class the day of or the day after. For all the sky is falling posts because we didn't draft someone Daniel Jeremiah said we should, people would flat out deserve it. All I've asked for is to be reasonable and all I was met with was resistance the entire time. Let's see the plan in action before we lose our **** over Daniel Jeremiah's draft grades.

Shiny toys have a pretty significant bust rate also. Its not just receiver .... DL was another glaring need. Corner might become a problem and there's no obvious solution to the RT. You shouldn't draft exclusively for need but you have to take it into account. Unless you are genuinely going to try and tank the season you have to make some attempt to address the issues especially when they match up perfectly with the strength of the draft. Maybe it is a rebuild draft and we've given up on the Rodgers, Jones, Adams, Bakh era. In which case I guess you have to evaluate whether the new team gets it done down the line. I think with Covid though people needed a boost and a draft like this is a bit of a kick in the teeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaegybomb Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Just off of variance a couple guys from this draft probably turn into solid contributors but the upside seems way more capped than usual. Even if Love isn't a bust and plays great for 1 year cheap and the FB turns into a pro-bowler it's not a home run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustrianPacker Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I don't mind not drafting a WR, I think we have some depth there and it could work out, especially when we move to a more run-oriented offense. I also don't mind taking Love in Round 1. Sometimes just take the best Player available in the early round if he falls to you. But this I do mind - IF he falls to you. He didn't. We gave up a valuable pick there which I do mind. Which I mind the most is that we didn't attend our biggest weakness from last season. In all our four losses the opponent ran at us heavily and successfully, we were manhandled. In other games we even got behind against a mediocare run attack like Detriod because we couldn't stop the run. Who knows how week 16 would have ended if MIN didn't have to play with their 3rd string RB. Or WC game against SEA with Carson and/or Penny. Otherwise I think we played on a level where we deserved being 13-3 and in the CS Game. And still nothing yet up front against the run and almost no cap space left. That is ridicolous. The NFC got better, our shedule harder, we will play against really good run offenses - I am optimistic that our other playmakers are good enough to get us to the playoffs again, but thats it. I would have gone all-in for the last 1-2 playoff runs with AR and then rebuild. But so we have a really expensive HOF QB but no team which he can get to the SB. Overall Draft grade for me - D+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
