Old Guy Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 How did Gute and company do in your opinion. Share you overall thoughts. Likes, dislikes, etc. Who did we pass up that you were pissed about. Other than JSN, we know, we know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 F for taking Sean Clifford. But for real, a B. It was pretty good. I certainly don't give a **** about the kicker, they obviously see something they think they can tweak to turn him into something. It's kinda hard to really complain about anything else too much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlson was pretty darn good before he tore his ACL in 2021 and missed most of the year. Last year was his first year back from the injury. He'd had a pretty big leg, I think he may turn out fine. If not, cut him and find someone else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much my thoughts. I know some will be disappointed that we didn't add anything to the offensive line, but as Gutey touched on this in the post-draft press conference, he felt anyone they could have added late would not have been an upgrade over who we already have. I'm excited to see what the pass catchers add to this offense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartacus Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I really enjoyed attacking the skill positions in the later rounds and taking a number of different body types at WR to play around with. For the first time since Bulaga & Finley they actually drafted my favorite player in the draft which is pretty fun in Musgrave. Not a fan of LVN but I can understand why they drafted him even if I wouldn't have done it. I also like the DL depth selections. There is ALOT of picks in this draft who have extremely high upside which is always a great gamble. Could be a 2009 type of springboard of a draft IMO especially if LVN, One of Kraft/Musgrave work out, and one of the WRs/DL end up being pretty good.

Gravedigger93 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 (edited) A few hiccups here and there, but overall I like this Draft the best in the last 20 years (at Draft Weekend). Only headscratchers are Clifford and the kicker (not because of the position, but the individual) Edited April 30, 2023 by Gravedigger93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitnhope Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 (edited) Overall pretty good=B. Only early pick I wasn't real happy with is Musgrave. Hope I am wrong, but he looks soft from what I watched. Great size but doesn't offer much toughness either blocking or in Rac. I was hoping LaPorta would land there. Don't really care about the QB or Kicker. Don't think this was an overly deep draft and they needed camp bodies at both positions.

{Family Ghost} Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Seemed like a pretty strong draft overall. I think Gute had the right philosophy to go with the premium pass rusher first and wait on weapons. Getting Musgrave, Reed, Kraft, and Wicks should help fill the cupboards. Did a nice job getting some bargain lineman on the final day. Anthony Johnson Jr might be an interesting pick. I thought we would go safety much earlier (3rd or 4th), but it was a terrible class. Going in I thought we'd go with an Olineman in the first four rounds, but I'm not sure it was overly necessary. We are pretty deep overall. Wasn't a huge fan of the Clifford pick or super tall kicker, but we shall see. Clifford must have really intrigued them with intangibles. All told it's a solid B that could go higher.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJerkDave Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Overall probably an initial B- Van Ness has the ability to grow in a limited role. I am very intrigued by Karl Brooks, and he has an opportunity to log some PT as our DL was really only three deep. The WRs will all have a chance to make the roster, and play. And the TEs will get in almost by default. The rest of the class will have roles as back-ups, I believe. And the kicker will be competing for the starting job. I don't really care for some of the players, but I get the idea of the whole class. I think that the safety class was not good, and also dried up pretty quickly. I also think that we are pretty set at the OL, both with developmental and starting players, so there was no real need to force the issue there.

Arthur Penske Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I don’t really wanna do grades but I’d say I’m more excited by a number these prospects than I have been in a long time. Especially Van Ness and Kraft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaximusGluteus Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I'm really intrigued by Colby Wooden. If he ends up being a good+ interior pass rusher that's going to make a huge difference for our defense. Same with Karl Brooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatch Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 C+ Not bad, not great, got a couple of solid picks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LacyIsGood Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 5 minutes ago, Leader said: I love the emphasis on the front 7, and especially the added focus on IDL pass rush. Versatile guys that can play multiple spots and also disguise pressure packages. No more guys who are just space eaters unless it’s a short yardage situation 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
