    Why I do Draft Grades Videos:
    This is a fun exercise to visit how I believe these players will produce for these teams, what these coaches and players can work on to make these Grades look wrong in a few years, vice versa, as well as what these Drafts might tell us about a certain team’s plans or opinions on existing players on their roster or the types of schemes they are looking to run.
    DRAFT GRADING CRITERIA
    DAYS 1 & 2
    “S” -Certified Steal
    • Need, team/scheme fit check out and the value is better than expected
    “A”
    • Value, need, and team/scheme fit all check out
    “B”
    • Good pick, but one of the following apply
    o Player was a slight reach
    o Positional value in question (1st Round Only)
    o Team passed on a better player at the position for the team
    o Team ignored value at a major need (1st Round Only)
    o Team/Scheme fit is in question
    o An otherwise “C” graded pick due to value and/or better players being available, but a massive hole at a value position (QB, OT, WR, ED, DT, CB) was addressed in Round 1 with a still good player that wouldn’t have been available for the team later
    “C”
    • Fine pick but two of the following apply
    o Player was a slight reach
    o Positional value in question (1st Round Only)
    o Team passed on a better player at the position for the team
    o Team ignored value at a major need with (1st Round Only)
    o Team/Scheme fit is in question
    “D”
    • Pick is in question as three of the following apply
    o Player was a Slight reach
    o Positional value in question (1st Round Only)
    o Team passed on a better player at the position for the team
    o Team ignored value at a major need with (1st Round Only)
    o Team/Scheme fit is in question
    OR Player was a major reach
    “F”
    • A truly inexplicable pick as player was a major reach, AND team passed on a better player at the position for the team, team/scheme fit is in question, or team ignored value at a major need or positional value is in question (1st Round Only)
    "-" May be applied if pick required a high trade-up price
    DAY 3
    Certified Steal (Purple)
    • Team stole a player who had a Day 1 or 2 grade who has a legit shot to be an impact player
    Great Pick (Green)
    • Team found above average value and a player with a legit chance to start within the first couple of seasons with the team OR a great role player in a key spot right away (Goal line back, #3 D-Lineman, TE2, dime back, kick returner, etc.)
    Good Pick (Blue)
    • Value lines up and player is in a great scheme or opportunity to find success as a starter or key role player relative to most Day 3 picks
    Solid Pick (White)
    • No notable criticisms of the pick but expectations should be tampered as with any Day 3 Pick
    Reach / Will Regret Not Taking… / Not a fan (Orange)
    • (Round 4 & 5 only) Player was a notable reach and/or notably better players would have been better picks, but the player still had a draftable grade
    • (Round 6 & 7) Player was evaluated and did not have a draftable grade Massive
    Reach (Red)
    • (Round 4 & 5 only) Team took a player who did not have a draftable grade OR reached multiple rounds while passing on several better options for the position

      Imo draft grades are inherently flawed because the landing spots will determine prospects success. So yes, you can give the picks grades, but judging the grades later on how the players turned out does not provide reflection on the initial scouting process because the landing spot is so crucial to player development

      Because the Majority of people Hate Analysis & thinking. They prefer narratives. What their minds can't handle, they hate. How many examples do you want?
      Another analyst compared the amount of points Aaron Rodgers' Packers playoff teams gave up in 9 games to what Tom Brady's Super-Bowl winning teams gave up in entire 18-19 game seasons & it was more than double. So Rodgers had to score twice as many points & could still lose.
      The Reason most people think Brady is the goat makes them think he's a better QB than Rodgers. A Very Popular Narratrive is that only QBs create wins.
      Even analysts themselves soften forget all the nuances Marcus talks about here later when looking at wins & losses.

    You have to remember Detroit's O'line is full of veterans and pro bowl caliber players. Manu has some dawgs to learn behind. I feel he went to a perfect situation in Detroit. If he gets his technique down he is gonna be a monster on that offensive line. I would put him right on the interior of that o'line so he doesn't have to be too quick with his feet. We can bring him in on goal line situation to open up holes in the middle for Gibbs and Monty. I noticed on tape he is very slow with his feet. I feel Edge rushers would tear him up off the edge if he played on the outside. But with his 352lb frame along with his height he could be a monster on the interior line after a year or two of development.

    Packers weren't the only team who valued Evan Williams in the 4th. There's been a ton of talk since the pick that multiple teams were hoping he'd fall to them in 4th specifically and would have pounced in a second if GB hadn't traded up. Also, the Packers weren't the only team to pass on Hicks 4 times, so I think the NFL knows something we don't. Final note, there were two defensive MVPs for the Senior bowl. One was Bullard, the other was, surprise surprise, Evan Williams.

    • @deathhimself1653

      A fourth round pick is still a fourth round pick, even if it's 'extra'. The only difference is it's an eagles pick, but both teams are playoff teams so either way it's a late pick.
      Not gonna argue one way or the other on the move. Just hate when people think that spare picks are spare picks. They're players, who are not only potentially good at football, but who are dirt cheap bodies which give you money for other starters. That's how the rams won a superbowl, drafting nine to fourteen times every round. (They were not, an F them picks organization. They just liked to get sure assets up top, and trade down lower. They had more 'home grown' (players they drafted) than any team in the NFL that year)

Then he sat & watched Stefon Diggs go to the Texans for slightly less than what he gave up for them because he had nothing left to get *him* with. I wonder who is going to produce more this season? All I can get from Steelers fans is that they think Russ isn't washed & that Khan really upgraded the o-line. Last year's o-line got to the playoffs with Trubisky & Rudolph.

    I love your assessment of the Vikes draft. Very fair. Most draft classes struggle to result in more than 1 or 2 quality long term starters and both the Bears and Vikes seem to have that covered despite making fewer picks. I think the Reichard pick is sneaky good - taking the first kicker off the board and potentially getting that 3rd long term quality starter, over throwing a dart at a group of fundamentally flawed players hoping to find the one that can rise above.
    Khyree Jackson adds a physical profile that is currently lacking in the Vikes CB room, and UDFA Dwight McGlothern arguably adds another layer of depth there too.
    The Vikes UDFA class also includes 5 or 6 intriguing players that would not have surprised had they gone in the 7th. Edge Gabe Murphy, McGlothern and TE Trey Knox all seemed to be draftable players, and big OGs Jeremy Flax and Doug Nester, and LBs Dallas Gant and Bo Richter also had some fans and would have been plausible picks in the 7th.
    It doesn't seem unrealistic to see from future contributors emerging from that group - similar to Ivan Pace, Andre Carter (this year) and ST gunner Najee Thompson did in 2023.

I know, I know...trust Gutes but...I've got a brain, too. When I saw those 2 bizarre picks LAST yr of K/QB, I didn't have anything personally against those guys, but they just seemed like UDFA guys. And, of course, any player can make it regardless of their draft selection. But, like you, I believed last yr's n this yr's draft prospects were available until P255. In my mind, there should never be a throw-away pick cause ya never know who will turn into the next Tauscher, Bart Starr (R15?), Brady, Purdy or Packer's team WR stats leader (ala Driver)! So, maybe I'm wrong n Hopper, Monk n Glover turn out to be beasts. But even your intro to this yr's GB grades began w/the caveat re head-scratching draft pick decisions. Even OT Morgan vs IOL Barton or bypassing CB/S DeJean 2x deserves some queries. But, who knows...picking these guys is like hiring personnel n getting it wrong 50%...guess it's just human nature n a proverbial crap-shoot!

    Lions still have 7 picks next year. And Vaki is going to play on all the special teams, so don't look at him as just a safety or a RB (and we only have 3 safeties on the roster before the draft, so I'm not sure what players you were referring to)
    Also, I hit that like button for you, Marcus. I appreciate you admitting that you were wrong about Detroit's draft last year and I do like to hear your opinion

    Montgomery is only on contract for one more year after this and Vaki is a 4 phase special team player. He will be our RB3, a backup S/LB, and play teams. He will save at least one roster spot, if not two, and he may also be a KR. That is extremely valuable.

    As a Lions fan who is uber protective of his teams decision I thought you were spot on. We have a big need for CB else I might not have been so excited to trade a 3rd round pick on Terrion. I didn't see the need to trade up for Sione, either. He's a good player for sure, but I didn't see in the tape what justified trading up. We shall see...

      Basically what Holmes said was that the game he stepped in and played RB he looked elite, and that was while not even practicing the position. Also the fact the he stepped up and played a position he didn’t even major at (was the term BH used) just shows what kind of teammate he is.

  • @jamrodgers121
    @jamrodgers121 9 дней назад

    I will say on your comment about Packers WRs. With or without Watson the Packers feel very confident in what they saw from their top 6 WRs last year. Even the Bo Melton's of the world showed promise. But Doubs, Wicks, Reed, Melton, and Heath all looked at least solid. Plus we have a good looking 1 2 punch at TE in Musgraves and Kraft. Very bright future for this receiving core. If Watson is healthy that is just a big bonus.

Like all but two prospects are still on the team. One was poached from the practice squad when they tried to stash him there.

    You actually described why the Lions got Vaki. Since they have to essentially carry Manu on the roster they needed to steal a roster spot and Vaki AFFORDS the Manu pick. Brad Holmes... Vaki plays multiple roles for the 53 man roster (even as backup) in just one person.

    Double dipping on cornerback makes sense for the lions in the NFC North. The NFC North is completely loaded at the wr positiob.

    Not sure how the slam of Sean Clifford was "proven to be correct." Clifford looked like a good backup QB in camp and in preseason. If anything, the jury is still out. You basically said that he's not a draftable player and shouldn't be in the NFL, but the Packers felt comfortable enough in his ability to only keep 2 QBs for most of the season. So that's my one bone to pick.
    That said, you do a fantastic job and I really respect your work. The Deep Dive series is one of my favorite things on RUclips and I'm so excited because it's almost that time of year
