RuskieTitan Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Nacua is probably the biggest steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 No mention so far of Tucker Kraft? How in the world the Dallas Cowboys did not take him and took freaking Luke Schoonmaker I have no idea. Once Musgrave got hurt and Kraft got the ball dude is legit and great after the catch, big time player and should be the starting TE next year over Musgrave, and he can block way better than Musgrave as well.    1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously he has more than enough mass and power to play on the DL. He made a great play yesterday, sniffing out a screen. Had it been complete, it was a very long gainer. Brooks was blocked well and still managed a shoestring tackle. When asked about how he plays, I'll always say....old man strength, young man's legs. Get a sign up in your hometown for him! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinderFournette Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) Steal Antonio Johnson. Started off with a hamstring injury but really took when our Nickel Herndon got hurt so much so that when Herndon came back he was still getting a good number of reps. I feel like for the Jags u can go have TE Strange and Bigsby for busts. For 2nd and 3rd round picks that really didn't have much of an impact.  Strange I think was drafted more of an insurance pick if we couldn't resign engram long term. Bigsby was supposed to be our Backup/short yardage guy and he lost that role early in the season. Edited January 17 by LinderFournette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had early injuries on the team that gave him a great chance to step up and just sat in the shadows allowing Palmer to nearly match his production. Nolan Smith - Was supposed to be a super star edge/LB and had very little playing time as a 1st round pick. 1 sack and 10 tackles show his size will be an issue in the NFL. He and the other Georgia defenders that went later last year are all disappointing for Philly. Myles Murphy - I expected more out of him. I thought he should have gone ahead of Wilson but he dropped and it seems most were right on him. Might be solid but won't live up to 1st round status IMO. Zach Charbonnet - Being a second round pick he should have had more production. I get Walker was ahead of him and played well but when Walker got hurt, Charb did not take advantage of the opportunity.  Brodric Martin - He was considered a reach but the Lions gave up a bunch to move up and get him. He couldn't even dress most of the season and when he did, he was bad. I knew he was a project, but when you give up 3 picks to go get a guy in the third, you have to expect a little better than 2 tackles on the year. Trenton Simpson - This one was a little expected but for a guy who had top 10 projection as late as February last year, falling to the third and then not proving the doubters wrong was disappointing.  Israel Abanikanda - Its hard to call a 5th round pick a bust but I had him ahead of a quite a few others on my draft list so he is a bust to me. Given Hall was injured and he should have had more reps in the offseason, you would think he could have helped the Jets avoid signing Cook in the first place but he was bad and when he got a shot late, he showed he is still bad.  Nolan Smith was always going to be at best the 3rd guy in a 4 man rotation at EDGE/DE for the Eagles. So he was stuck behind Reddick, Sweat and as it turned out, Graham too. Never expected big numbers for him. He actually flashed some nice run defense and the occasional nice pass rush. But overall a disappointing rookie year. Didn't help matters that we gave him too many snaps dropping into coverage, same with Reddick. Kinda felt like a guy who might take some time to pop and fill out a bit. Looking forward to seeing what he has in year 2. Nakobe Dean has been a massive disappointment. Jordan Davis has been solid. Better in his second year. But I'd rather have Kyle Hamilton who they could've had. Kelee Ringo really impressed when given playing time. Could see him pushing for a starting spot in 2024. Georgia guys have been better than not for us so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s Matt Leporto  and yeah, I think the worst 1st rounder is leshaun. Why due teams draft him in 1st round when they could trade for wr higgis? Geniuses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
