I think its funny how when u were low on Nakobe Dean you said “hes not gonna have this incredible Georgia DL in front of him in the NFL” and now he literally has the same DL in front of him 😂
That’s actually a pretty funny point

Bless you
Monti for AZ really impressed me! Basically got a 1st and 2 3rds to still take their guy. Killed it!!!!
Giants made another reason set of moves. Love this front office and GM in place.
Cant wait to see jalen carter sacking danny dimes 😂 oooh wait nolan smith is here tooo😮 have a good day
@@davemartz8077 ah eagles can’t beat cowboys, then when kelce retieres parsons can smash hurts
@@Pejion. parsons is having nightmares already with how good this D is going to look 👀 just wait until this boys started chasing your poor QB 💩
They could've gotten porter Jr without trading or loaded up at TE with mayer
@@thankyoujodi they clearly didn’t like porter as much as banks man…there’s a reason why he didn’t get picked last night
Draft coverage was great last night. Appreciate you.
What also can work for Jalen Carter to the Eagles is that he has people he knows already in Jodan Davis, Nkobe Dean, and Nolan Smith. If the Eagles somehow get Kelee Rhingo its going to be a family reunion on that Eagle defense
Edit: Holy hell Philly got Rhingo
That will help him defiantly
As a Lions fan I actually love the players they took, I had them taking both of those players but in round 2. Felt early for me to take both. But I do like these players
Same but I feel like Kansas City could've taken Gibbs at the same time we could have walked out with Gonzales and Gibbs
Howie is the man. Even after the Jefferson debacle I’ve stood by him as our gm.
I genuinely wavered but he's more than made up for it
I’ve been upset with the Jets pick last night and this morning, but after going back and looking at your evaluation of Will McDonald, I’m feeling a little better about it. Carl Lawson and Bryce Huff are in the last year of their deals (wouldn’t be shocked if they traded one to add more draft capital the next two days) and from your eval, he seems to have high end upside with his pass rush win rate. Still think it’s a reach like you said yesterday, but I can at least see the thinking behind the pick. And unlike the Lions, at least the reach is at a position of value.
I’m not a jets fan but I like it. His bend is off the charts
you have to consider that TFG seems to just hate Iowa State too, I swear if McDonald played for Texas or Oklahoma he'd be all over him.
As a fellow jets fan, yea I felt he was drafted too soon although the pick for edge isn't horrible. He's a bit risky but he has great upside, I don't hate the pick like That Franchise Guy does I thought it was alright. He is fast and athletic as hell he got crazy long reach, he has a crazy win rate too and he went off in senior bowl. I think the rest of our draft was really good though, we still got Joe Tippman 2nd round. I hope its enough to make this Aaron Rodgers jets team a contender, J E T S JETSJETSJETSJETS
I love the Raiders pick. I know they need a future QB, but that defense needs so much work. I would love it if they get a nice secondary player for the next choice. They need like 3-4 starting players.
As for Wilson, he provides so much versatility by playing 5 and 3 tech positions. He's got great mentors, and there is no immediate pressure with a superstar and a high-end starter ahead of him. Even then, as Marcus said, he has a bullrush skill set that will easily translate to the NFL. I feel really hyped as a Raiders fan with all the horrible picks in the last few years.
This is the best 1 round pick out raiders have had since the likes of amari cooper and Khalil Mack. It’s extremely refreshing to see we didn’t reach on a bust like usual lol.
This year for Arizona made me really happy. We got an extra frp to take OL1
Y'all need to pay Brad Holmes and Detroit royalties, I think they might be needing them.
Everyone say it with me: Skoronski. Projects. As. A. Guard. The. Bears. Value. Length. In. O. Line.
Also wild to say there's questions with Wright at pass pro. Played 500+ snaps in the SEC without giving up a sack. Did we watch the same tape of him stuffing Will Anderson like he was a UDFA? Helmet scouting.
Hard agree. Not sure why people are hating on Wright so much, but I think it's safe to trust the FO.
@@dasoupsoup It's not even a question of trusting Poles, he hasn't even built something to trust yet. It's a question of using your eyes. Just to take Skoronski, he's been mocked to CHI constantly, despite Poles very clearly stating what his type as at O Line: big, fast and long. Skoronski went to a team that just signed a LT and who have a clear need at interior. He's a guard. He's going to be a great guard, but he's a guard.
I had Jones above Wright too and I would have been sorely tempted by Carter. I like the Wright pick but it's a B pick, a safe, conservative pick. It's a very slight overdraft but 2 OL went in the next 4 picks and people traded up to get in on them. There was clearly going to be an OL rush because the class is very thin. There's nothing exciting about it but people are working backwards from "well the Bears made the pick, so it must suck".
To say "you got the number one overall pick and ended up picking the 25th best player in the draft" is deeply disingenuous too.
Wright is the best right tackle period, and lines up exactly with Poles off-season moves and the draft positional depth. It has to be noted that coaches were all over him at the Senior Bowl. Any questions TFG had were already answered by his production against the best the SEC offered
@@Mcelwee22 I mean I have him OT3 behind PJ and Jones but they're in the same tier of talent. Chocolate or vanilla, dealer's choice. EDIT: As a pure RT, I agree.
@@evankearney6378 The Bears did accumulate an additional first round pick in 2024 and second round pick for 2025, as well as DJ Moore. I think Darnell Wright is a good pick.
I was honestly shocked to see a Lions organization that has been so solid in the offseason the last two years fumble the draft so hard.
Wasn't a fumble by far
They got the highest ranked linebacker and the 2nd ranked running back, last year the Lions became a team that nobody wanted to play. Nice try. They are a better team today than yesterday, deal with it.
@@jmommy881 the Lions turned a top 10 pick to the 2nd rb in the draft and a linebacker. You couldn't make two worse picks if you tried.
They have little depth at corner, no legit pass rush pieces outside of Hutchinson, no real future at QB.
justifying these picks required an immense amount of copium.
You really don't have a clue, do you? You didn't check out anything about the draft picks, definitely not a Lions fan.
@@johnshepard313 James Houston exists. Lions have a deep edge room. Goff if the future. CB class is deep and can get rd 1 caliber guys with their THREE 2nd rd picks.
Wright crushes t-rex arms skoronski. They wont be close when you look back 5 years from now. # 1 tackle in draft.
I don't really get the Darnell Wright hate. He took almost 900 snaps at tackle in the SEC last year and has gone 14 games in a row without letting up a sack against players like Will Anderson. Skoronski has okay technique, but from what I see he doesn't maul guys in the run game like Wright does. Also Wright is just as mobile if not more than Skoronski and seems to have the power in his mobile blocks for outside zone... Not sure what you're seeing.
I guess you'll see when Wright takes rushers at the right side in his division (if the Bears already like their LT). Fortunately for Skoronski, he'll have enough practice keeping it steady against Will Anderson, Josh Allen (Jags), Kwitty Paye and whoever the Colts rotate on that side.
Very hype for Anthony Richardson, getting a jersey as soon as they're available. I get it's technically a "project" but i don't think he's as far away as some expect, I've had a good gut feeling about him for a few weeks.
Good luck with Minshew for two years till Richardson is NFL ready
@@marinasands4319 I don't think it's gonna be 2 years, I think he's more ready or at least closer to being ready than you think
@@brandoncosbyjr.7097 No he is not he is basically on the same level as Willis
Anthony Richardson is cool but not a top5 pick in my opinion I wouldn’t have taken him in the 1st but teams love potential In my opinion he not the most athletic QB ever ppl forget about Cam Newton he was more athletic than AR and had the production and success in college and pros to match his athletics
@marina sands that is an outlandish take lol he's much better than Willis
You hate on Gibbs, but wanted the lions to draft Richardson 😂
I was shocked by Gibbs at 12 with a stacked backfield, but maybe he shocks the world with his world class speed. At least they didn't take a WR, since Gibbs can play in the slot; he's too fast. I kinda though they could've moved back and gotten an extra pick along with getting Gibbs. He was even surprised, they had to call his name twice!! 🤣😂😅😂🎉🎉
Maybe it’s his position that makes it a head scratcher. If they don’t move swift it will be even more confusing cuz you can only play so many running backs. He is a great passing option but he can’t just be out there the whole time as a receiver. I think it should be a meh instead of hate
Except Sun God lines up best in the slot. Gibbs gimmick isn't world class speed but top end acceleration along with the 2nd best hands for RB in space. The problem is they finessed their way out Bijan Robinson's range (IMO worth it as a top 10 pick considering he really has top end RB traits) only to get Gibbs at 12 where nobody else was a threat to get him. There is def a drop off from Robinson to Gibbs as a potential 3-down back. Hell can you even say Gibbs is better than the top RBs from last year in Kenneth Walker and Breece Hall who were taken in the 2nd round? Finally I just don't see the full value running a 3-headed hydra RB committee with a 12th round pick. I can bet you 100$ easy that Bijan Robinson is getting at least 20 carries in some weeks playing along with Allgeier for the Falcons.
Hated it!
@@t4d0W Atlanta drafting Bijan was dumb dumb dumb.
@@thomasgrimes8091 If Gibbs is Kamara 2.0 a year from now then any and all consternation around "reaching" for him in the first round vanishes from the face of earth--never to be seen or heard of again.
2 - Raiders pick of Tyree Wilson was a steal IMO. Many mocks had him in play to Cardinals or Seattle (due to Jalen Carter off field stuff). He is the freakiest size, length, power package DE Edge to a team that NEEDS to build up a legit "pass rush wave" as GM Dave Ziegler called it in his post Day 1 presser vs. all the great QB's in the AFC West/AFC.
Maxx Crosby plays too many snaps, he needed help and vet Chandler Jones can mentor Wilson for a year as his contract is most likely done in 2024. His medicals checked out, he has room to get better, but cannot teach that size, arm length, quickness and potential to get even better for an Edge threat - building inside out is my preference for O & D and Raiders doing that by passing on CB Gonzalez.
Plus they were never taking Jalen Carter because duhhh his flags are real, and so was the Raiders' Henry Ruggs reckless driving/DUI murder dealio. Eagles benefit uniquely due to having SEVERAL Georgia Bulldog defenders drafted last/this year to babysit Carter. A risk Eagles can afford, Raiders cannot.
Great pick, was Chris Simms and Pete Priscos #1 Edge/DE player (even over Will Anderson) and the Raiders got him at #7. No terrible reach from the new Raiders draft staff Dave Ziegler & Champ Kelly...seems like the former crappy Gruden Draft Team is secretly picking players in Detroit!! Yikes what bad position picks for Top 20 players. And they did it TWICE! Gruden like for sure.
Was my first draft with your stream, absolutely loved hearing your thoughts yesterday! Can't wait for tonight
Wright at 10 was a great pick up by the bears he locked up will Anderson in that Tennessee vs Alabama game your going to eat your words on that analysis
Im a lions fan and I completely agree
I’m a bears fan but his analysis was right at least going into the draft here wright has issues skoronski was much safer pick
I'm a huge Darnell Wright truther. I think he's the best day 1 tackle in the draft, and on an offense that became dangerous running the football last year, he's a great fit. They're going all in for Fields this year, after nearly getting him killed last season, and even as an 49ers fan, I love it.
He was definitely the "Wright" pick. Skoronski's best fits as a guard IMO. Just for the sake of comparisons, PJJ has a higher upside than Wright, but I don't think Wrights' is far from his, if not all pro level himself.
I also disagree with the notion that he can't play in an outside zone scheme, he's pretty athletic, and has actual tackle size/length, ran a 1.8 10yd split, at 330+, that's pretty rare.
Finally, when they decide to use duo, or inside concepts, he's going to bring a level of push that I don't think another O lineman in this draft can.
I dont get why people keep hating on what the Bears did. They turned the # 1 pick into a Tackle they obviously liked, a #1 reciver, another 2nd this year, and a 1st, 2nd, and 4th next year.
Comparing Levis to Herbert is wild. Nothing on his tape is remotely comparable - not even in Herbert's worst games
Bro wants us to forget how bad he whiffed on his evaluation of Herbert
Who made a good eval on Herbert?
I haven't seen what you're talking abt yet, but hes probably talking about Herbert in college (I hope)
Will Levis is Carson Wentz 2.0 dude has no natural feel for the game
@@ChronicSpinDash Carson Wentz was the mvp front runner until he got hurt
Agree on most but love addison on the Vikings
I would agree the lions moves were puzzling. I don’t understand why you would pass on Jalen Carter and tyree Wilson and Gonzalez to trade down and take a running back
The running back issue isn't the problem since they a chance at Bijan even as early as 6. Holmes could be crucified for that 'value' but if Bijan's draft profile actually precedes him, then its easily montgomery and him running the ball for the next 2 years at a high level. The odd thing is they trade out of 10 and SHOULD know that Bijan is gone by then (Hello Arthur Smith of the Falcons) and Gibbs is arguably an early 20s kind of value pick. Similar as TFG noted like Najee Harris, Travis Etienne or even Josh Jacobs. There could be smokescreen for that from some teams but I highly doubt he gets chosen by that time with other teams having pressing needs for WR/Edge/Tackle/CB.
Thought about the Jahmyr Gibbs pick for a while last night, and I feel like it indicates a transition for the Lions into more of a wide zone, Shanahan type of offense.
This seems to be something that they have been planning long-term through the draft in these last few years with the picks of Sewell, Jamo, and now Gibbs. And not only do they have the players for it, they also have the coaching. Ben Johnson certainly had his say in this.
Doesn’t make the pick good.
Still doesn't make it a good pick at 12
I agree, as well as I think the Lions staff knows their 'window' of opportunity is open now to put a winning team on the field. Getting to the playoffs, especially winning a division, would go a LONG way to building credibility and extending their time in Detroit
@@jacktesar15so you're getting to the playoffs by adding a RB to a full RB room?
but why sign montgomery? good three headed monster but gibbs aint worth it at 12
Tom Grossi said it best about Van Ness, "i''m just whelmed..."
As a Seahawks fan his rant about us taking JSN was hilarious 😂
@@scottsports923 yeah I hate it, just like him lol
the bears didn't move out of the 1st pick for Darnell Wright. they moved out of the pick to get future picks AND DJ Moore most of all. DJ Moore was the one thing that Ryan Poles REQUIRED as apart of the trade or they weren't going to do it with the Panthers. From there, the reason why they passed on Skronski is likely cause of arm length, the fact that he didn't give up any sacks in his senior year at RT, and he already has really good chemistry with the OLine coach at Chicago. They worked Wright out pretty good as Chicago media has went into what drills and what they actually did in his private workout pre-draft.
As a long time lions fan, I’m not really surprised by who they took, also to quote the movie miracle “ I’m not looking for the best players, I’m looking for the right ones” that’s Holmes philosophy and in Holmes we trust we got 6 more rounds to go, so let’s see where it goes from here
PREACH
Darnell wright is a good pick for the Bears Peter has short arms and is viewed as a guard in the nfl whic the bears don’t need
Great coverage man! Super stoked for Banks we needed that for sure!
Pete actually said Woolen had his best snaps in Man coverage last year.
Best draft grade videos I've watched today excellent analysis.
If you don’t like draft grades DONT WATCH! Keep up the good work Marcus 🎉
Anyone who hasn't watched Forbes in college is just ignorant on how good he is. Here are some stats:
Forbes: Breaking college football records interception/pick six wise, plays in the hardest division in football (SEC), and has a 40% completion rating when targeted.
Gonzalez: 70% completion rating when targeted, plays in the pac 12 (far less skill compared to SEC), and little production.
Forbes has already clocked in at 175-180 by multiple sources, he'll be fine.
im starting to love the kincaid pick for the bills. i mean given what is out there. He is the best remaining offensive weapon on the board. He also compliments Knox well. He is not redundant he has a different skillset then knox. He is also a saftey blanket. can take over cole beasley role. Elite hands, great at creating space and finding soft spots in zone. Not afraid to go get the ball and high point the ball and make contested catches. A certified weapon in the middle of the field with a full route tree. bills can now go into 12 personell whats the defense going to do to cover Diggs, Knox, Kincaid, Davis and cook in the backfield. Defense goes heavy they throw and if they go light they can run it with cook. Kincaid gives the Bills alot more options than any WR would in this draft.
Yeah I had to give it a day to think/mull it over and that is also the conclusion I reached. I almost forgot Kincaid lined up in other areas besides in-line TE and a 'big' slot guy is maybe what JA really needs. HOpefully Kincaid holds up and is relatively healthy for the coming season.
Got Anthony Richardson so far I’m feeling cautiously optimistic
I could not disagree more with your assessment of Gibbs he is the most dynamic player in this draft I think you are severely underrating him he is a touchdown threat every time he touches the ball I love this pick if you love the player you take him they obviously see him as a difference maker for them
Not worth where he was picked at all
@@briancrawford69 draft positional value is completely subjective... teams should go get whoever they think is the best talent available for their team and then develop them.
Shhh🤫 let them hate
@@briancrawford69 says who pff or mocks lol
If you wanted a difference maker at RB that badly then take Robinson at 6!
I didn’t watch the live stream cuz I was with my friends but I loved your content throughout the process! Thanks Marcus!!
Packer fan here-am starting to love the Lukas Van Ness pick. I also went from solidly liking it to love it now. He may not have the quick twitch like Gary but he is fast and strong and completely health-Gary had that pectoral problem in year 1. Day 2 requires solid offensive help for GB.
I just don’t understand HOW the Jets front office looked JSN and Calijah Kancey in the FACE and yet picked McDonald. We need another DT and Calijah and Q on the D-line would absolutely TERRORIZE QBs from the inside. Wouldn’t even matter who we have at edge, and like you said, we already have a lot of solid talent there. We essentially spent a first round pick on a depth player, when there were several impact players at positions of bigger need left on the board. A d-line with Kancey and Q, or an offense with JSN, GW, Rodgers and Breece would have made a SIGNIFICANT IMPACT on our ability to win now, this pick does not.
Care to regrade Lions draft??
They literally won the best draft of 2023.Not a good look for TFG Lol
I'll disagree with your take on the Wright pick. He is a plug and play RT. As a Volunteers fan, I was never concerned about the right side of the OL in pass pro. Wright is going to exceed your expectations here. He needs work on his run blocking, he had a tendency to lower his head and before "latching" onto his assignment, and whiffed in open space and sometimes on the outside. But in pass pro, he is going to just lock his edge down.
Im so hyped for deonte banks in winks scheme! Just might end up with JMS in the 2nd with how this is shaking out
Darnell weight is a waaaaay better pick than Peter skoranski. Darnell Is more athletic and a better pass protector against the better edged in the league. Skoranski is a better run blocker but Darnell is arguably the best tackle in the entire draft
Like i don’t think you’ve watched enough tape on him if u don’t think he’s god good footwork. Dude gave up 0 sacks in the scc and is a for sure right tackle, which is what the bears need
Falcons already averaged 4.9 yards per carry. Even if he averaged a historically great 5.9 a carry, that would net the falcons only about an extra 20 yards per game…which would make them a middle of the road offense.
Even if you say “well he’s a slot” you could have either a) found a comparable pass catching RB much later in the draft or b) taken a actual slot receiver.
They shoulda just drafted Jalen Carter or a valuable position. That’s before even factoring in that RBs are much more likely to get hurt than any other position, have a much shorter shelf life, and half as likely to get their 5th option picked up as any other position
You can argue that point all you want with the Falcons and how they run their offense. But that is how Arthur Smith the HC and play caller wants to run his team and win with it. He likes having a VERY talented bell cow back, run in Heavy/Condensed personnel and have his big receiver mismatches get explosive swings off play action looks.
As baffling as the lions selections were, id still take both of them and 34 over AR.
🤣🤣 no you wouldn’t if you had any sense
@@rthraitor 1.... You expect a lions fan to make sense. Thats your own fault.
2, I don't expect every QB who can't throw accurately to be fixed.
3, people still think the lions are rebuilding... They are in win now mode. They are making the moves teams make when they go all in for a SB. Upgrading the best thing about your team(run game) and your 2 biggest weaknesses
(Secondary/middle linebacker) in the offseason, the lions are going far into the playoffs like weve never seen before (not saying much ikik).
I dont trust AR. I think Josh Allen was an anomaly.
AR is probably the most physically gifted QB to ever be drafted. His only flaw IMO is that he isnt accurate. Same reason 9ers are shopping Lance.
Besides people get caught up in positional value too much. Lions have about 9 starters on rookie deals, in terms of cap space value they are doing great. Being 100% efficient with your first round pick isnt as important as filling the last few holes you have when you are going into win now mode.
Swift is done in Detroit. Too injury prone, and having a RB top end speed with that line, try and stop em. Wouldnt be surprised if they ship him in a pick swap to move from the 5th to the 4th, or for a 6th round pick.
GO BIRDS. Love this channel, easily the best NFL content. So much more informed than other football channels.
The Raiders didn't pay Jimmy just to draft a QB in the top 10 of the first round.
FINALLY some Mazi love !!!!
Go Hawks! Another great first round for PCJS
Howie Roseman is building a monster in Philadelphia
Holmes/Campbell love both players obviously more than anyone else
It’s not about the players is about the value. We could have gotta Jack in the 2nd and barring the cowboys draft Gibbs we could have also got Gibbs in the second. And use the first round picks on corner and dline. We could have at least gotten Jalen carter or Gonzalez or banks with one of the first round picks and then pick Gibbs in the first and Jack in the second
Jack and Gibbs are gonna play great next year and all the fans are gonna say we should have trusted Brad. While at least one of these guys (carter and Gonzalez and Banks) are up for Droy
@@Mokuteke Campbell won't can't tackle blitz or cover
@@Mokuteke It is about the players lmao. Way more important than value. mock drafts and nfl analysts boards have ruined that
@@akiyahwilliams9521 you clearly dont watch film
I liked Gibbs more than Bijon. Gibbs is Karmara. Swift is being traded. I don’t see Gibbs as a rb, he can play wr as well. Also we turned pick 6 into Gibbs and Pick 34 so let’s wait until we see who we get. Gibbs and Cambell are day 1 impact starters and are win now picks.
Gibbs is not Kamara. He's significantly smaller and doesn't have the elite contact balance that makes Kamara so special. I see the comp everywhere, but I do not believe it's a good one.
In no universe can Gibbs even hold a candle to Bijon.
I see some Reggie bush
@@kye4216lions fans are hitting the copium hard after that awful first round
Gibbs is not Kamara at 201. Maybe closer to Aaron Jones (whose working at 208) with that top end acceleration and versatile hands. The last RB to be sub 200 lbs with the great hands, crazy acceleration and was a 3-down guy was not a 1st round pick.
Breathed a sigh of relief after the Van Ness pick, excited to see a WR and TE tonight from the green and gold
Notre Dame?
@WhereAreMyEntertainers?! I think he's referring to the Packers when he says "Green and Gold"
Yeah why get a playmaker when you can get a backup defensive lineman who wasn’t even a top 3 player on his own defense.
@@RB-.- lmao if you think Van Ness wasn't by far the best player on that Iowa DLine you don't know ball
Brad Holmes said after the Gibbs pick, other GMs were messaging him saying they were going to trade into the teens to get him. So could be a better pick than it seemed at first.
Would also make me think that the Lions are high on the second tier of players at positions of need (DT, DB)
They were pointing and laughing at him lol
pretty sure Patriots were gonna take Gibbs if the Lions hadn't
@Sydney Lemire thanks for your terrible input Armchair GM
Mock drafts have ruin good football sense
Then let the other teams make the bad pick. It’s not like they don’t have good RBs
I want to thank you, lord, for this absolute bangin content.
Am I crazy I I say the Lions were blindsided by the Witherspoon pick and that’s what cause this first pick? Like I feel like they wrote his name in sharpie on the whiteboard and that’s what led to this. Jack Campbell I can justify because he feel like he was born to play for Dan Campbell, but I really think they put all their eggs on Seattle passing on CB
As an Eagles fan, I was hoping that Carter or Tyree Wilson would somehow fall to us at #10, but if this didn't happen, that we would trade back, accimulate some draft capital and still land Nolan Smith or Myles Murphy.
To land BOTH Carter and Smith is extremely exciting, and it's looking possible that we could be just as good this upcoming season as the last, which was something I was doubtful about a month ago.
Sorry, but in terms of aesthetics “Love it” should be in blue font and “Like it” in green. Having it switched ruined me.
Best nfl draft content right here!!!!
Last night was awesome! Can't wait for tonight!
Love your draft coverage but I think it’s safe to say that the NFL does not share the same opinion on Levis as you do. I mean he was rumored to go to Indy at 4, they take AR and after the fact their GM said AR was their guy a month ago and every other team that would make sense taking a QB passes on him. He will get drafted somewhere in the 2nd but clearly if a team thought of him as highly, they’d have taken him in the 1st.
Stroud gonna prove all the haters wrong imo
He was picked 2nd overall. You know what happens now
Just commenting to say I love your content and appreciate how much effort you put into your content Marcus, always love seeing a new upload from you
I do think you’re forgetting just how surprising Jefferson’s speed was. Conversation was around him was as a pure slot until he put up that 4.44 combine performance. Doesn’t make the JSN comps good by any means but I do think it’s worth noting that there were those questions for jefferson
As a lions fan here is my opinion, Brad Holmes has zero cares about positional values, no one wanted to trade up so he took his guy in both picks, the past two years he has completely turned around a failed franchise and has found value in basically every single pick he’s made, also swift is most definitely gone, in this draft he picked two day 1 starters and for a team trying to compete sometimes a project type player isn’t worth it
Well Swift is gonna have to be cut now because you’re not gonna get anything for the guy, maybe a 5th/6th rounder
As a lions fan I am pissed off.
We came into last night and had a chance for Jalen Carter and Christian Gonzalez and then we could target LB or RB day two.
Instead we get a 2nd/3rd string running back that won’t even play that much unless Swift gets hurt again or is traded, and another thumping linebacker.
This is the first time ive questioned Brad holmes, and between this draft and the stupid JMo suspension, my outlook for lions got more bleak.
11 months later I’m happy with the Zay pick considering he’s the only one that produced the AFC championship …
I like the ravens pick, their defense was good since week 5, they needed help offensively but they don’t have another cb outside of Marlon, maybe they can trade up and get jpj but I doubt the Steelers wouldn’t take him since they have the first pick. I see zay as the 2nd best wr in the draft outside of jsn, just my opinion tho
I think that Addison is a good pick, but like you said, Banks/Porter would have been amazing
Yea but there are more corners later we can draft with better quality than wide receivers
@@novakid89 yes that is very true
Went to bed at 8pm so I could be there at 2am for the draft to watch your stream! Am honestly excited by every pick but CHI
As a cowboy fan, I’m happy we finally got a run stopper literally our biggest weakness on our defense. It’s a win now type of move that finally completes our defense
You know it's a crazy draft when the cowboys are making some of the most sensible decisions
To be fair the Cowboys always draft really good Jerry Jones is just finally making win now Type of moves.
@@dsbeats5657 because of the bills Jerry absolutely wanted that TE
@@okyep still Maher was there and Jerry said no....whew there is a God 😂
I know and I’m thankful for the bills because I don’t want a tight-end that has back injuries and is a bad blocker, so thank God cause I think we could use a tight-end but this draft class is so good for tight ends that I think we could wait till the second round and I would prefer Darnell Washington or Michael Mayer
don’t love the Gibbs pick but it shows that they really don’t trust Swift to be reliable for them at all
Drafting a project QB with a top 5 pick is crazy. You might as well pick a top O-lineman then tank and draft Caleb Williams next year
I have not slept in anticipation for this moment
Espn has it that the texas traded their own first next year, not the browns one
My wife is a lifelong Eagles fan, and after round 1 I had the privilege of telling her the Eagles have a good chance of going back to the SB for the next few years based off all that round 1 malpractice. How the NFL let this happen is beyond me. I get the character and injury concerns with Smith but walking out of round 1 with both guys just should not happen.
Stock up on LBS Drew Sanders, Daiyan Henley, Dorian Williams and Ivan Pace Jr. Hopefully we can draft 2 of those guys
Kancey is gonna get every opportunity to succeed with Vea and Barrett, plus Hall and Joe Tryon are gonna have every opportunity to develop into what they were drafted to he
Lions picks are good players but both would have been available at their next pick.
They should have gone Gonzalez at 12, Gibbs at 18 and taken Campbell at the start of the 2nd
Mock drafts are ruining football 😂
Exactly! Mind you I’m happy they didn’t as a Patriots fan, but they should have taken Gonzalez at 12
The rb hate has gotten ridiculous. A guy like Bijan or Gibbs is going to touch the ball and influence your offense more than any other player besides the qb.
Bijan for sure. Gibbs is not even close to that level and they could have taken him in the 2nd round.
There is always opportunity to get a good running back, if you are a contender and need a great running back you can trade for one mid season for less than the cost and risk of drafting one, harder to get premium players at other positions
@@kye4216 I definitely believe they could have got Gibbs much later. I'm a Chiefs fan so I know that you can get talent late. Let's say Gibbs is the real deal deal, and turns into Jamaal Charles, the player he reminds me of. That kind of game changing ability is worth a first. Look what JT did in his first year in Indy. It completely changed their offensive ability. I'd be far more likely to draft a back early than to sign one to a Zeke like 2nd contract. Get em young, beat the brakes off them, and move on.
They both were overdrafted badly
Bijan in the 20s at EARLIEST
Gibbs was a WHOLE ROUND EARLY
You had Gonzalez van Ness Nolan Smith n a couple other blues on the board
YOU DONT TAKE A RB over these
@@nautgamingnautgaming9949 it's really tough parroting the narrative huh? Glad your so brave and have thoughts of your own
RB in first round are always reach mostly because of injuries. Lions and Falcons made a huge mistake
reach bc running backs are usually dependent on good o-line play
@@evana751 yes, that's also a general statement: the RB himself can do very little without a good OL. And with a good OL almost everybody can run. Because of this the position itself has a very low value. But even if you add receiving and blocking skills, for players like CMC or Barkeley, it's also the most frequently injured position in football. I believe it will disappear like the full back and the running game will become a shared job between players in different roles (QB, WR, TE)
Awesome video Marcus! Livestream was tons of fun to watch
Darnell Wright was always OL2 (PJJ OL1).
I disagree. I have Darnell Wright as my #1 tackle prospect in this class (with PJJ having the highest ceiling). His tape is phenomenal. They weren't going to pick PS becauase he translates as a guard in the NFL by most scouts. IDK if anybody noticed but he had a "G" next to his name when they drafted him. If he were to play tackle, he'd by far have the shortest arms in the NFL at the position. Poles (GM) and Cunningham (asst GM) are both ex-offensive tackles so they both know the position and are big on traits. If they didn't care about traits and didn't value things like reach, Tevin Jenkins would be playing tackle for them right now and not guard.
I like the Zay Flowers to Baltimore deal, but I will LOVE IT if the Ravens find a way to get one of these top CB's that have fallen to day 2. Lamars extension should also create some cap space for this season, so there's always the chance they bring back Marcus Peters as well, or maybe take a swing on a guy like Casey Heyward who just got released
With deep CB class and weaker WR class, Vikings going Addison is great pick. They can still get CB starter on Day 2.
Can't wait to see who ends up being a more impactful NFL player: Gibbs or Van Ness. Def will not be forgotten
Bill had me yelling at the TV in frustration (trade back) and then joy (actually taking Gonzalez). Rollercoaster night
They traded back for a reason, why trade back if Gonzalez is your guy when you know washington needs a CB. They were targeting Forbes, that's why when washington drafted him they instantly locked in Gonzalez.
Funny how all these Bears fans crying about Jalen Carter are pretending we weren't one of nine teams to pass on him. Clearly the character concerns were an issue from the start, but the public was so blinded by his talent alone. If he has any chance of succeeding, it's going to be with his former UGA teammates in Philly.
Thanks for all your hard work to bring us this kind of in-depth content. God bless you, man 🙏🏼🙌🏼✝️
The grind 💯
As a Jets fan I generally agree with your assessment, I don't really think it's a good pick either. But, the team rotates the D-line quite a bit, so having a pure pass rusher like McDonald could be super valuable. More importantly, we have Lawson and Huff for only one more year, so this seems to be more of a move for the future rather than the present.
Again, don't like the pick, it's absolutely not a need for this season, but I'm trying to be optimistic. We plan to use him in wide 9 which should play more into his strengths, I hope.
Really hate the Gibbs move too, they coulda got Gonzalez at 12 times then jahmyr at 17 if they really love him that much but even then I’d rather they get a top wr like Addison or jsn or even jack cambell if they really like him that much too. Then get jahmyr in the second and even if he doesn’t drop tht far in the second I don’t see RB is a must have need for them, they got Montgomery and Smith who are both good enough at RB, especially when you have holes in other more important positions like a pass rusher or qb or wr or cb. They got him WAY to early, but maybe they see something we don’t idk.
Finally someone who knows what they're talking about with Banks, dudes a monster
Draft grades don't mean anything. What happens on the field is the only grade that matters. It's the difference between a scrimmage and a real game.
People looking in dont really have the context to properly grade the gibbs pick. imo
Firstly swift is alway injured, unable to run between the tackles and is on his final year of his contract. When swift was healthy though, lions offense was even better. Almost unstoppable. Monty didnt offer the same level of receiving/ 3rd down ability swift could provide. Gibbs is just a better swift. Better vision. Faster and a even better receiver. Lions got a foot ball player not a rb. They are going to make Gibbs a focal point of the offense. Lions will be designing the game around gibbs like they did early on with swift.
Monty who i also love really just provides the short yardage ability which lions also need, but he isnt the focal point of the offense.
Really Gibbs and Monty play two different position.
RB was a huge need for the lions and I really wanted Gibbs late first or early second with a trade up. it was a bit of a reach but personally it was more like 10 to 15 pick reach instead of the 30 to 40 picks some people have been parroting.
Gibbs takes this offense to another weapon and give the lions another player with game wrecking ability. I didnt love the pick but theres a fair argument that for the lions he is better then Bijan.
Questions about the best blocking Tackle in the draft going 10?? He single handedly shut down Will Anderson and numerous 1st and 2nd round talents all season last year.
Milton Willams and Jalen Carter are real life best friends. Carter to the Eagles is devastating to the league for many years to come.
