I love your assessment on Trent McDuffie as a KC fan. People will look at his 0 INT's and be floored than he is an all-pro, and an A+ pick according to you. What they don't take into account is he does everything else, and when in pass coverage, he blankets his man so well that QBs rarely think to throw his way. McDuffie is 100% an A+ pick and will be a great defender for the Chiefs for years to come.
Trent Mcduffy gave Debo Samuel the blues in the Super Bowl. That Chiefs draft was insane, even their bust (skymoore) contributed to their 3rd super bowl run.

The steelers also have had a shit line wide receivers that cant catch. Not every quarterback can just step in and be the top. Purdy benefits from a great offensive coach who is designing the offense around him
How Hamilton and Lindebaum both fell so much in this draft is insane. Baltimore fleeced anyone that wasn't Kansas, since Kansas fleeced everyone else with McDuffie and Karlaftis. Those two organisations sure know how to draft.
Not only that, but Baltimore traded back with the Bills from 23 to 25 and picked up punter Jordan Stout. If Baltimore wins the superbowl this year, it will be because of this draft Ken Hamilton - All Star Tyler Linderbaum - All Star David Ojabo - injured both years hope this is his year Travis Jones - A beast in the middle line Danniel Faalele - A huge (maybe starting) tackle Charlie Kolar - A TE that would start with 80% of teams Jalyn Armour-Davis - Injured both years, hope this is his year Jordan Stout - above average punter Isaiah Likely - will be a top 10 TE this year Damarion Williams - Ravens have alot of DBs this year.

I’d like us to get Guyton, Fautanu, or Murphy (DT) in round 1. I think we go OT then either DT or WR round 2, unless sanders is there round 2 then I’m all for it.

If he’s the guy of the future, then go WR or if they love JT trade back to around 40 and take him there & get another 5th rounder to swing on an upside guy. Tons of WR talent even in the 3rd and 4th so u may be right, a Kelce replacement would be great and as an OU fan who plays Texas every year I’ve seen just how great sanders is.

It's pretty insane that Christian Benford in the same draft class as Kaiir Elam. Elam was a first round pick to Benford being taken in the 6th round and well Benfords career is what us Bills fans had hoped Elam would already be as he's already the best CB on the team and has potential to be an all pro. And Kaiir Elam is so far been one of the Bills biggest bust in recent memory
And the cb that the Bills actually wanted in the first round was Trent McDuffie but the Chiefs traded in front of them. Imagine McDuffie and Benford playing together.
That is not what happened at all. He traded out of picking Jameson Williams and picked Cine, Booth, Ingram and Asamoah. He also took a pick off the Lions (32, 34 & 66 for 12 and 46) and a pick off the Packers (34 for 53 and 59). You should have a look at how much better the Lions and Packers would be if the just stayed and picked at those spots. But carry on playing myopia.
Uh, what? Just because the Lions took Jameson Williams doesn't mean the Vikings would be obligated to take him if they kept the pick, lol. The Vikings for sure would have taken Hamilton.
Gotta respect the chiefs, when they have a position of need they scout that position and draft THE guy, not just a guy but the guy at the position and that’s what’s made them so successful
Yooo....Thank you so much for putting this together. It is a refreshing endeavor, especially when considering how absurd it is to grade a draft the day after it is completed! I hate draft day grades, and EVERYONE has them and an opinion on every team...actually grading the team on what they came away with before any of these guys ever played a game. This needs to be the NEW NORM!!!!
@@CULtureKuriosity not good, he was on ir this season so I’ll give him a bit of a pass but when he plays he gets burned ALOT. He’s a man corner playing in a zone defense so I don’t blame him all that much
Not great but shown potential at times. He sucked early this year but then went on IR with a foot/ankle injury he allegedly had all throughout camp. Mcduffie is great but iirc he's a slot corner and we already had a top tier one in Taron Johnson
Pickett is a hard F. It was a reach at the time and he has only been dissapointing. Kid misses reads and bails on plays while patting the ball 2-3 times per dropback, and even the mobility/scrambling he showed in college hasnt translated to the NFL. Not to mention guys like Linderbaum, McDuffie, and Walker going in the next couple of picks all at positions of need for Pittsburgh. Terrible, franchise-altering setback of a pick by the Steelers. And fans/coaches wanting to waste another year giving him another chance makes it even worse.
I think an F should be reserved for players who never start or are cut. Kenny may not be a world beater but he won a lot of games (14-11 record) with 6 fourth quarter comebacks. I give him a C because he was a serviceable starter and still has potential heading into next year. You're a dumbass if you think every first round QB turns into Mahomes immediately. Most bust because of the pressure of playing the hardest position. If you're actually a Steelers fan I feel bad for you that you have no team pride or think we should've been starting Trubisky instead 😂
@@jflowers513 Is he the next (Joe) Burrow or Kyler (Murray), who were early picks after being one-year wonders? Some team will try and make that connection and will overdraft him. That's a lock." -- Personnel director for AFC team
Fair assessment of Dax Hill. I thought it was fairly obvious he might not be as good as they hoped he would when rookie Jordan Battle became a starter alongside him half way through the season and immediately made more of an impact than Hill. It was always going to be a stretch replacing Jessie Bates though.
I’m excited to see how that young secondary develops for the Bengals. Cam Taylor-Britt already looks like a star. Hopefully Dax Hill, DJ Turner, and Jordan Battle take strides this year
This is such a surreal thing to watch. Hitting on two great players in one draft and to know each draft has been productive under Veach almost each time. I get excited and almost embarrassed that we are fortunate to have these guys on our team. If it were to end after this season there will be happy KC fans for several generations.
Hahaha for a split second I was furious about that A on The Duff Man. Got me. Dude's the best player on the Chiefs defense, and the most versatile. He's so damn good man. Chris gets all the love and he's insane but he's lost his motor a bit lately and only really dominates in big situations. Duffy is out there shutting down the passing game 24/7 in every way imaginable.
LOL! You had me going for a half second there when you pretended to give McDuffie an A instead of A+. I had just enough time to yell, "What???!!!" before you said you were kidding. Chiefs don't win Super Bowl LVIII without him. Hell, they maybe don't even make the playoffs without him. Actually, the entire 2022 draft was probably the best overall I can remember the Chiefs having other than 2017. Chiefs could have pulled a Ditka and traded their entire draft class to move up for Mahomes and with what he has done for the team would still make that their best draft ever.
I literally said that the Kenny pick was bad and all the other Steelers fans went tunnel vision. There’s a reason why there was no actual qbs projected in the first round. Having back to back single figure TDs AND more picks than ints both seasons. His peak was 2022 when he led the game winning drive to beat the ravens in Pittsburgh on the SNF game
The difference between the Chiefs jumping ahead and taking Mcduffie versus the Bills taking Elam may have been worth a Super Bowl. The Bills said they did have their eyes on Mcduffie.
He literally says in the vid that he’s very athletic and all and makes good plays, but he had a lot of times that he blew big plays. He gave up a lot of big stuff this year

How Hamilton and Lindebaum both fell so much in this draft is insane. Baltimore fleeced anyone that wasn't Kansas since Kansas fleeced everyone else with McDuffie and Karlaftis. Those two organizations sure know how to draft sorry so I am not alone here at home okay. What Draft Grade Would You Give up Your Teams Pick And Why? 🤔
Sucks about Kaiir. We likely would've gotten McDuffie had the Chiefs not jumped us in the draft. I think this offseason is the chance for Kaiir to work and prove himself - I like him a lot and he himself knows that he can do better. Maybe with the new DB coach, Elam can become a good/great depth piece.
I don’t want Kenny to be our future starter, but you undersold how much Canada was holding us back. Saying he didn’t effect Kenny’s completion percentage isn’t true Canada couldn’t call any plays with open receivers
A lot of Cowboy fans wanted Linderbaum, and didn't know that Tyler Smith had quietly risen to solid later-half-of-the-first-round territory. With Linderbaum so far having fulfilled every expectation, it's a good thing that Dallas went with an alternative smashing success so far at OL. Both the Cowboys and Ravens have to be very happy with their selections (and Dallas would have been up ****'s creek without Smith in 2022).
George Karlaftis should've never fallen out of the top 10. I was pounding the table for the Giants to take him at 7 even for the twelve minutes between drafting Kayvon Thibodeaux and Evan Neal.
@@3rdandForever868 I liked Karlaftis more than Thibodeaux and didn't want Thibodeaux but even with the glaring need at tackle and wide receiver I still thought it was a better idea to double dip than to let Karlaftis fall. He's genuinely just so good.
In my head I had a C- for Cole Strange before you said it and I think your analysis is dead on. He has the potential to be a B guard, but was drafted way too early (as was the case for most of the Patriots' picks in 2022.
As a Ravens fan, the draft class we had in 2022 was and is generational. Linderbaum and Hamilton are All-Pros, Isaiah Likely has become a beast, and Jordan Stout is eventually going to get an All-Pro under his belt. The scary thing is that this class could be even better. David Ojabo and Travis Jones have shown flashes of what they can be. If both of them stay healthy, especially Ojabo they could really wreak havoc on their opponents. I know everyone gave us grief for trading away Marquise Brown on Draft Night, but considering how one-sided that trade has been especially with how good Linderbaum and Stout are they made a big mistake judging EDC's thinking.
As a Ravens fan, while I won't regret getting Lindenbaum, a part of me wished we had taken George Karlaftis, mainly cause the Ravens lack a true consistent #1 edge rusher, not since the days of Terrell Suggs. Don't get me wrong, Madubuike absolutely earned his upcoming payday, but when it comes to attacking the QB from the edge, our options are very lacking. I'm still waiting for Oweh to shift into the next gear, and Ojabo just can't escape the injury bug. Plus, when you look at the edge rushers in the AFC North (Myles Garrett for the Browns, TJ Watt and Alex Highsmith for the Steelers, Trey Hendrickson and Sam Hubbard for the Bengals), it makes no sense when we can't keep up with those guys to get to their QBs, especially since we have to face Joe Burrow twice every year.
Didn’t watch after seeing Pickett as an F??? Dude is 13-4 in his last 17 starts finished. In addition, the 3 games he missed the end due to injury the Steelers were winning when he left the game and trubisky lost it. His record is tied with Patrick Mahomes as first in the NFL. This is with his #wr Diontae Johnson missing 7 games this year, his top TE Freiermuth missing 5 games last year and 2 this year during picketts starts, and the Steelers having a defense in the lower half. Also Pickett had 5 dropped TD passes this year. The next highest had 3! I would think Pickett is a B? Guy started, won, and looks poised and polished, has a 4th quarter qbr of 103.6, guy is a winner.
I was furious when the Vikings traded down. I remember telling my friends going into the draft I would be thrilled with Kyle Hamilton or Trent Mcduffie and we pass up on two all pros for a guy that can’t even get a helmet when healthy
@@moonjelly5 Really? The Lions could have had Christian Watson, Breece Hall and Martin Emerson instead of Jameson Williams & Josh Paschal, who've hardly played in the last 2 years. I wouldn't call that a master class.
@@robe2504 We still made better use of that pick than the Vikings did. Like we still laugh at Chicago for trading the 49ers to get Trubiskey despite the 49ers wasting the pick.
@@moonjelly5 Premature to say yet. Cine ad that horrific injury early, Booth had a number of injuries that interrupted his progress but showed signs late last season, Ingram has played as many offensive snaps as any O Line player from that entire draft class, and Asamoah looked promising and a likely starter until he also hit injury trouble and Ivan Pace emerged. We should see how those picks (received in the Lions & Packers trades) worked out this season.
@@robe2504 We definitely do not regret getting Branch. This may be a case where both sides are happy. I was honestly just surprised the Packers gave that spot to a division rival (especially one that has been really good at drafting lately).
I know it says 32 through 1 but will you stat including teams that don't have first round draft picks? Not their best selection but like their first selection they made? I feel like teams especially like Cleveland have been having a great draft outside of the first round.
I really wish we had gotten to see Kenny all the way through those games against the Cardinals, Patriots, and Colts idk if we would have won those, but we would at least know for sure how good/bad Kenny is without Canada. That first game against the Bengals looked promising. But also the beginning of the Cardinals game looked pretty bad. And now we have all of this drama around the qb position with Mason Fields and Pickett. This next season is about to be TOXIC
@@sdrawkcabsiemansiht485 thanks for the second rounder we used on Andrew Booth Jr! Lol would of been better off with Frank Booth from Blue Velvet hahaha 😆
Don't panic. Hunter didn't start until his 3rd season, and you'd have written Jordan Love off after 2 seasons too. Rookie contracts are 4 seasons, and the real test is when they hit FA.
The Bills secondary would be is so much better shape had Elam not turned into a bartender. I can’t even fault Beane for that pick, there is no reason why Elam should not be playing at a high level.
Give him time. Dax Hill and Lewis Cine are in the same boat. Some folks need to see instant results and forget that plenty of players need a few years to ascend. Those short term folks would have categorised Jordan Love & Danielle Hunter (who didn't start until year 3) as draft busts. This draft class will look different again after this season.
We can’t fully judge these players YET some of these players have had horrible coaching and in the right scheme some of these players can grow into stars it’s just about work
The Kenny Pickett hype from Steelers fans was hilarious. If browns fans are unanimously saying your QB is not good, you might wanna take their word for it.
"the initial thought may be injury with Elam", yes thats the ACTUAL correct take, dude spent more than half the season with a nagging foot injury. yes he was healthy scracthed when he came back from IR but we had already traded for rasul douglas. its been disappointing but dont lie about what happened to his season, he was hurt, plain and simple for the majority of it.
If I where saints I’d moving penning to guard that way u can upsell his value personally I’d never grade a guard A+ because they’re the least valuable part of the oline no knock to those guys but I can find a good depth guard middle of the season I can’t find a good tackle or center
I feel like Cole Strange is honestly incomplete, at least with how often you like to hand out that grade. He was hurt most of 2023, and it was pretty known he was a raw prospect. I do agree it’s a make or break year.

Tom Grossi as a Patriots fan: "Cole Strange?? We drafted Cole Str-- I don't even know who that is!"
He looks way to narrow / skinny to be an offensive lineman. Just not enough body on him.
You got me good with the Trent McDuffie rating. I said aloud “Come on!”.

It's pretty insane that Christian Benford in the same draft class as Kaiir Elam.

And the cb that the Bills actually wanted in the first round was Trent McDuffie but the Chiefs traded in front of them. Imagine McDuffie and Benford playing together.
Benford made the Elam pick sting a lot less.
The Chiefs 2022 draft class as a whole is going to be the backbone for the 2nd half of their dynastic run
This draft class for the Chiefs was mega stacked
Will never forget when Kwesi traded out of taking Kyle Hamilton just to end up with cine
Kwesi needs to go!!!
That is not what happened at all. He traded out of picking Jameson Williams and picked Cine, Booth, Ingram and Asamoah. He also took a pick off the Lions (32, 34 & 66 for 12 and 46) and a pick off the Packers (34 for 53 and 59). You should have a look at how much better the Lions and Packers would be if the just stayed and picked at those spots.
But carry on playing myopia.
Uh, what? Just because the Lions took Jameson Williams doesn't mean the Vikings would be obligated to take him if they kept the pick, lol. The Vikings for sure would have taken Hamilton.
@@ckobo84 Uh what? The Vikes HAD the choice and "for sure" did NOT take Hamilton.
They clearly did not value him even close to their pick.
Gotta respect the chiefs, when they have a position of need they scout that position and draft THE guy, not just a guy but the guy at the position and that’s what’s made them so successful

Yooo....Thank you so much for putting this together. It is a refreshing endeavor, especially when considering how absurd it is to grade a draft the day after it is completed! I hate draft day grades, and EVERYONE has them and an opinion on every team...actually grading the team on what they came away with before any of these guys ever played a game. This needs to be the NEW NORM!!!!
Hurts as a bills fan that the chiefs jumped us for an all pro corner
How's Elam doing over there in Buffalo?!
@@CULtureKuriosity not good, he was on ir this season so I’ll give him a bit of a pass but when he plays he gets burned ALOT. He’s a man corner playing in a zone defense so I don’t blame him all that much
@@imsquidward5187 I was curious because I was high on him during the draft
Hope he makes an impact for you so next season
Not great but shown potential at times. He sucked early this year but then went on IR with a foot/ankle injury he allegedly had all throughout camp.
Mcduffie is great but iirc he's a slot corner and we already had a top tier one in Taron Johnson
Could we get a 2nd round picks review
Just to see how these mid round picks have turned out
2nd round picks from this draft would be cool
Same with the season before this
Pickett is a hard F. It was a reach at the time and he has only been dissapointing. Kid misses reads and bails on plays while patting the ball 2-3 times per dropback, and even the mobility/scrambling he showed in college hasnt translated to the NFL. Not to mention guys like Linderbaum, McDuffie, and Walker going in the next couple of picks all at positions of need for Pittsburgh. Terrible, franchise-altering setback of a pick by the Steelers. And fans/coaches wanting to waste another year giving him another chance makes it even worse.
Time for the Steelers to draft Bo Nix
Mr yapp over here 💀
I think an F should be reserved for players who never start or are cut. Kenny may not be a world beater but he won a lot of games (14-11 record) with 6 fourth quarter comebacks. I give him a C because he was a serviceable starter and still has potential heading into next year. You're a dumbass if you think every first round QB turns into Mahomes immediately. Most bust because of the pressure of playing the hardest position. If you're actually a Steelers fan I feel bad for you that you have no team pride or think we should've been starting Trubisky instead 😂
@@wittyniks *Mr. Correct

Fair assessment of Dax Hill. I thought it was fairly obvious he might not be as good as they hoped he would when rookie Jordan Battle became a starter alongside him half way through the season and immediately made more of an impact than Hill. It was always going to be a stretch replacing Jessie Bates though.
I’m excited to see how that young secondary develops for the Bengals. Cam Taylor-Britt already looks like a star. Hopefully Dax Hill, DJ Turner, and Jordan Battle take strides this year
Love this page, and how frequently you post! Zero bias and a thoroughly planned out script every time!
Thank you!
This Chiefs draft class was great but them getting Rice & Morris + Swift as a UDFA makes 2023 even better imo
Wild that McDuffe doesn't have a single pick. Goes to show that's not a great way to determine how effective a corner is.
We really traded Trent McDuffie for Cole strange
This is such a surreal thing to watch. Hitting on two great players in one draft and to know each draft has been productive under Veach almost each time. I get excited and almost embarrassed that we are fortunate to have these guys on our team. If it were to end after this season there will be happy KC fans for several generations.
Hahaha for a split second I was furious about that A on The Duff Man. Got me. Dude's the best player on the Chiefs defense, and the most versatile. He's so damn good man. Chris gets all the love and he's insane but he's lost his motor a bit lately and only really dominates in big situations. Duffy is out there shutting down the passing game 24/7 in every way imaginable.
Better than stone cold jones? Idk about that
I love Tyler smith I think he’s the best oline man of the class
Just found your channel. These are amazing videos! You should be bigger. Hope to see the Jets featured sometime
Sooo when are we getting a regrade of the tyreek hill trade 👀
A+ on Dolphins side A on Chiefs.
@@RM-56 How can you grade THE trade that facilitated KC building a roster to go back to back super bowl champs anything but an A+?!
@@LucaMVPthere’s no reasoning with this guy, he’s thinking with emotions
A+ for both sides honestly
Never in my life as a Jag fan would I have thought Lloyd was an A- but can't deny he's come on leaps and bounds!
Love the content i think your grades were spot on with facts to back up your grades keep up the great work
As a Steelers fan this is going to be a painful watch.
LOL! You had me going for a half second there when you pretended to give McDuffie an A instead of A+. I had just enough time to yell, "What???!!!" before you said you were kidding. Chiefs don't win Super Bowl LVIII without him. Hell, they maybe don't even make the playoffs without him. Actually, the entire 2022 draft was probably the best overall I can remember the Chiefs having other than 2017. Chiefs could have pulled a Ditka and traded their entire draft class to move up for Mahomes and with what he has done for the team would still make that their best draft ever.
Always love the content. Love your analysis. Keep up the good work bro
Thank you will do!
Almost had me ranting with that little McDuffie prank 😂
I literally said that the Kenny pick was bad and all the other Steelers fans went tunnel vision. There’s a reason why there was no actual qbs projected in the first round. Having back to back single figure TDs AND more picks than ints both seasons. His peak was 2022 when he led the game winning drive to beat the ravens in Pittsburgh on the SNF game
13:00
You had me for a second 😅
Dax Hill at a C+ is crazy to me he's an absolute freak and is coming off his first year starting at a really difficult position
The difference between the Chiefs jumping ahead and taking Mcduffie versus the Bills taking Elam may have been worth a Super Bowl. The Bills said they did have their eyes on Mcduffie.
Your grades are fairly generous~
That Dax Hill scouting was spot on.
A c+ for dak hill with that type of production is crazy
He literally says in the vid that he’s very athletic and all and makes good plays, but he had a lot of times that he blew big plays. He gave up a lot of big stuff this year
Yeah I think I would rate Dax higher than a C+
Numbers don't tell the whole story, especially on defense.
What Draft Grade Would You Give Your Teams Pick And Why? 🤔This video is depressing it reminds me of all the players we could’ve drafted at 20 but instead, we drafted Kenny Pickett. I love your assessment of Trent McDuffie as a KC fan. People will look at his 0 INTs and be floored that he is an all-pro, and an A+ pick according to you. What they don't take into account is he does everything else, and when in pass coverage, he blankets his man so well that QBs rarely think to throw his way. McDuffie is 100% an A+ pick and will be a great defender for the Chiefs for years to come. The 2022 Draft was an all-timer for the Chiefs. 7/10 becoming starters including multiple 7th-round hits is insane Chiefs' drafting over the last couple of years has been the reason why they can become the greatest dynasty in pop culture history Rams' last couple of drafts, especially last year, have been great with no first-round pick.
The Rams have only one first-round starter on D and O (Donald and Stafford). Snead and McVay have done an amazing job finding talent. I wasn't happy when the Chiefs picked GK Great pick up for the Chiefs Tom Grossi as a Patriots fan: "Cole Strange?? We drafted Cole Str-- I don't even know who that is!" Trent Mcduffy gave Debo Samuel the blues in the Super Bowl. That Chiefs draft was insane, even their bust (Skymoore) contributed to their 3rd Super Bowl run. It's pretty insane that Christian Benford is in the same draft class as Kaiir Elam. Elam was a first-round pick to Benford being taken in the 6th round and well Benford's career is what us Bills fans had hoped Elam would already be as he's already the best CB on the team and has the potential to be an all-pro. And Kaiir Elam is so far been one of Bill's biggest busts in recent memory Every video ending with “Love you guys” really just warms my heart Can't wait for when Grading the 1983 NFL Draft 39 Years Later drops in the first week of June 🔥
Will never forget when Kwesi traded out of taking Kyle Hamilton just to end up with Cine We really traded Trent McDuffie for Cole Strange Thank you for taking my suggestion of doing 17-32 first for this series!

How Hamilton and Lindebaum both fell so much in this draft is insane. Baltimore fleeced anyone that wasn't Kansas since Kansas fleeced everyone else with McDuffie and Karlaftis. Those two organizations sure know how to draft sorry so I am not alone here at home okay. What Draft Grade Would You Give up Your Teams Pick And Why? 🤔
Sucks about Kaiir. We likely would've gotten McDuffie had the Chiefs not jumped us in the draft. I think this offseason is the chance for Kaiir to work and prove himself - I like him a lot and he himself knows that he can do better. Maybe with the new DB coach, Elam can become a good/great depth piece.
I don’t want Kenny to be our future starter, but you undersold how much Canada was holding us back. Saying he didn’t effect Kenny’s completion percentage isn’t true Canada couldn’t call any plays with open receivers
Trent mcduffie is just a great all around corner and he and sneed are the best tacking corners in the league
Only because of spags
I’m interested in seeing what Pickett does with a real OC this year, not to mention the inevitable line help that’s coming via free agency/draft
You should do a 2022 rd 2 video
A lot of Cowboy fans wanted Linderbaum, and didn't know that Tyler Smith had quietly risen to solid later-half-of-the-first-round territory. With Linderbaum so far having fulfilled every expectation, it's a good thing that Dallas went with an alternative smashing success so far at OL. Both the Cowboys and Ravens have to be very happy with their selections (and Dallas would have been up ****'s creek without Smith in 2022).
The bears offense getting blown up on the Quay clip lmao 11:16
You had me for a second on the bumping mcduffie down to an A.
George Karlaftis should've never fallen out of the top 10. I was pounding the table for the Giants to take him at 7 even for the twelve minutes between drafting Kayvon Thibodeaux and Evan Neal.
To be fair, Kayvon was considered a top 2 pass rusher at the time, Karlaftis was known for his insane endurance and high motor
@@3rdandForever868 I liked Karlaftis more than Thibodeaux and didn't want Thibodeaux but even with the glaring need at tackle and wide receiver I still thought it was a better idea to double dip than to let Karlaftis fall. He's genuinely just so good.
12:52 that was not a good pass deflection. That was a pass interference. It was a good disguise is what you meant.
That’s a lot of A+
And Elam is being out played and replaced by a 5th round player if I remember the round right
In my head I had a C- for Cole Strange before you said it and I think your analysis is dead on. He has the potential to be a B guard, but was drafted way too early (as was the case for most of the Patriots' picks in 2022.
As a Ravens fan, the draft class we had in 2022 was and is generational. Linderbaum and Hamilton are All-Pros, Isaiah Likely has become a beast, and Jordan Stout is eventually going to get an All-Pro under his belt. The scary thing is that this class could be even better. David Ojabo and Travis Jones have shown flashes of what they can be. If both of them stay healthy, especially Ojabo they could really wreak havoc on their opponents. I know everyone gave us grief for trading away Marquise Brown on Draft Night, but considering how one-sided that trade has been especially with how good Linderbaum and Stout are they made a big mistake judging EDC's thinking.
As a Ravens fan, while I won't regret getting Lindenbaum, a part of me wished we had taken George Karlaftis, mainly cause the Ravens lack a true consistent #1 edge rusher, not since the days of Terrell Suggs. Don't get me wrong, Madubuike absolutely earned his upcoming payday, but when it comes to attacking the QB from the edge, our options are very lacking. I'm still waiting for Oweh to shift into the next gear, and Ojabo just can't escape the injury bug. Plus, when you look at the edge rushers in the AFC North (Myles Garrett for the Browns, TJ Watt and Alex Highsmith for the Steelers, Trey Hendrickson and Sam Hubbard for the Bengals), it makes no sense when we can't keep up with those guys to get to their QBs, especially since we have to face Joe Burrow twice every year.
I swear I was absolutely fuming for 2 secs when you said McDuffie was just an "A"
Quay walker is an F for pushing multiple teams medical staff helping injured players
Great video.
Handing out A+ way too easily in this one IMO
Dax Hill is a Dawg for Cincinnati but I do think they need put him at nickel or Slot when mike Leaves
Creed Humphrey is the next best center in the league. Oh wait he already is the best center in the league
Didn’t watch after seeing Pickett as an F??? Dude is 13-4 in his last 17 starts finished. In addition, the 3 games he missed the end due to injury the Steelers were winning when he left the game and trubisky lost it.
His record is tied with Patrick Mahomes as first in the NFL.
This is with his #wr Diontae Johnson missing 7 games this year, his top TE Freiermuth missing 5 games last year and 2 this year during picketts starts, and the Steelers having a defense in the lower half.
Also Pickett had 5 dropped TD passes this year. The next highest had 3!
I would think Pickett is a B? Guy started, won, and looks poised and polished, has a 4th quarter qbr of 103.6, guy is a winner.
Chiefs win because of great draft classes recently.
As a saints fan we could’ve went with Tyler Smith and hit both of our 1sts…..but hopefully we find a better line this offseason 😔
Mcduffie, was a huge chiefs pick, gotta respect that
Treylon Burks... that trade literally set the Titans back by like 15 years
Love the content

george gotta be A+ dawg
I was furious when the Vikings traded down. I remember telling my friends going into the draft I would be thrilled with Kyle Hamilton or Trent Mcduffie and we pass up on two all pros for a guy that can’t even get a helmet when healthy
The Lions are good at getting divisional rivals to give them better decent draft spots (see the Packers giving us Brian Branch).
@@moonjelly5 Really? The Lions could have had Christian Watson, Breece Hall and Martin Emerson instead of Jameson Williams & Josh Paschal, who've hardly played in the last 2 years. I wouldn't call that a master class.
@@robe2504 We still made better use of that pick than the Vikings did. Like we still laugh at Chicago for trading the 49ers to get Trubiskey despite the 49ers wasting the pick.
@@moonjelly5 Premature to say yet. Cine ad that horrific injury early, Booth had a number of injuries that interrupted his progress but showed signs late last season, Ingram has played as many offensive snaps as any O Line player from that entire draft class, and Asamoah looked promising and a likely starter until he also hit injury trouble and Ivan Pace emerged.
We should see how those picks (received in the Lions & Packers trades) worked out this season.
@@robe2504 We definitely do not regret getting Branch. This may be a case where both sides are happy.
I was honestly just surprised the Packers gave that spot to a division rival (especially one that has been really good at drafting lately).
what grade would you give george pickens
For being a mid- late 2nd round pick an A+
I know it says 32 through 1 but will you stat including teams that don't have first round draft picks? Not their best selection but like their first selection they made? I feel like teams especially like Cleveland have been having a great draft outside of the first round.
I really wish we had gotten to see Kenny all the way through those games against the Cardinals, Patriots, and Colts idk if we would have won those, but we would at least know for sure how good/bad Kenny is without Canada. That first game against the Bengals looked promising. But also the beginning of the Cardinals game looked pretty bad. And now we have all of this drama around the qb position with Mason Fields and Pickett. This next season is about to be TOXIC
Its insane how the cowboys consistently draft future hall of fame offensive lineman but can’t seem to find a decent interior defensive lineman lmao
If i were to grade pickett, it would be a D- due to his stats going on his 3rd year, understanding he was also injured last season.
But why say Dax Hill should be a nickel right when you show a highlight of him getting dusted in 1 on 1 coverage vs a receiver?
I forgot who the Vikings picked in this draft when I first saw the video notification 😳 then I remembered Cine 😢
Kenny Pickett would be incredible in the XFL
You should add the score you gave the year prior
Minnesota 2022 draft still keeps me up at night
Thank you for Jameson Williams!
@@sdrawkcabsiemansiht485 thanks for the second rounder we used on Andrew Booth Jr! Lol would of been better off with Frank Booth from Blue Velvet hahaha 😆
Don't panic. Hunter didn't start until his 3rd season, and you'd have written Jordan Love off after 2 seasons too. Rookie contracts are 4 seasons, and the real test is when they hit FA.
Wyatt three pressures a game …not bad for a second year interior
Devin Lloyd is much closer to being a B- than being an A-.
Being an eagles fan Jordan Davis better go crazy in year three cuz man could we have used Trent mcduffie 😭 shooo even quay walker at this point
The Bills secondary would be is so much better shape had Elam not turned into a bartender. I can’t even fault Beane for that pick, there is no reason why Elam should not be playing at a high level.
Give him time. Dax Hill and Lewis Cine are in the same boat. Some folks need to see instant results and forget that plenty of players need a few years to ascend. Those short term folks would have categorised Jordan Love & Danielle Hunter (who didn't start until year 3) as draft busts.
This draft class will look different again after this season.
We can’t fully judge these players YET some of these players have had horrible coaching and in the right scheme some of these players can grow into stars it’s just about work
The Kenny Pickett hype from Steelers fans was hilarious. If browns fans are unanimously saying your QB is not good, you might wanna take their word for it.
"the initial thought may be injury with Elam", yes thats the ACTUAL correct take, dude spent more than half the season with a nagging foot injury. yes he was healthy scracthed when he came back from IR but we had already traded for rasul douglas. its been disappointing but dont lie about what happened to his season, he was hurt, plain and simple for the majority of it.
Tell the steelers front office that kenny is a F grade because they still think he is the correct answer 🤦🏽♂️
If I where saints I’d moving penning to guard that way u can upsell his value personally I’d never grade a guard A+ because they’re the least valuable part of the oline no knock to those guys but I can find a good depth guard middle of the season I can’t find a good tackle or center
I feel like Cole Strange is honestly incomplete, at least with how often you like to hand out that grade. He was hurt most of 2023, and it was pretty known he was a raw prospect. I do agree it’s a make or break year.
