Every game I get more and more impress by Jordan Addison, every yesr we see good Rookie WR, but the fact that his game is almost complete his first year is CRAZY
I don’t care how these 2 are ranked, but I’m glad Tomlin finally came to his senses and made Joey Porter Jr and Broderick Jones starters. We are at week 10 now and that’s how long it took😂
@@theRome281 I really love the potential of rookie CB Darius Rush and he wasn’t even drafted by Pittsburgh. Since he somehow ended up on the chiefs practice squad. I think he could be a late round draft pick who can become a great starter like Herbig (if watt and highsmith weren’t there
Love Zay Flowers man, I just wish we'd use him as more of a downfield threat, but I think that will come more in the playoffs, and in year 2 when he develops a little more weight and muscle.
This was the first draft where I studied the top players and players in later rounds I kinda found interesting (Brian Breese for example I think I picked Chicago) and even did mock drafts for every team and even tho I get most the teams wrong it’s cool to see some of these guys pass my expectations in the rookie season and actually contribute to their team/ league
JSN is getting better and better. He's going to be one of the top 4 WRs from this draft (at worst) within the next 3 years. But Addison and Flowers are ridiculous good. I liked Zay a lot coming out of school. I think JSN is a bit different type player than those two, more like a high profile Puca.
It's just not possible for Flowers to have better stats on the ravens. Simply put, the ravens average only 29 pass attempts per game (31st in the league), they lead the league in rushing touchdowns, and the few times they do pass for touchdowns, it's to Andrews. Flowers is the best case scenario for the ravens, no other WR in the league would look better than him on the ravens because they just won't be given the opportunity.
7:10 I honestly forgot how bad I hated the Bills for taking Kincaid from us (assuming Dallas was taking him, that’s all that was talked about by writers on Twitter)
Addison is complete. He has speed, he has great releases off the line and he runs decent routes (or at least he seems to be in the right spot when kirk cousins was still there). Super impressed that they hit on JJetta and Addison like 2 years apart. This guy is legit, though I honestly think Tank Dell is a more complete receiver in this rookie class
Since you make a video about draft picks one, two even 4 years after a Draft I think you should strictly grade them on what they’ve done so far and not what you think they’re gonna do. If they become better you’ll just change the grade in your next video anyways
Thank you for giving FAU a fair shake. Many people are saying “bust because he hasn’t played” even though he’s a 21 year old project player below many good edge rushers on the depth chart. If he can develop, him and Karlaftis, who looks like a future pro bowler, will be a problem
@@YourUpperLip1So Nolan Smith is a Bust? Actually Patty Mahomes was a bust since he only played week 17 of his rookie year so he's been a HUGE BUST according to your logic. Your football IQ is extraordinary, truly I never looked at it from such POV but wow you're right, Us other dummies thinking Mahomes isn't a bust are the ignorant ones 🤦♂️. Thank you for your brilliant insight into the game of developmenting young potential talent. Eagles need to just cut Nolan Smith! Am I Right?
I'm going to be honest as a Bengals fan, Myles Murphy is freaking HORRIBLE. HATED the pick at the time (with LaPorta and Branch both on the board) and have only continued to hate it more and more. Dude couldn't get past 3rd stringers in preseason and just got bullied by WR Noah Brown on a Texans TD run when we needed him to step up with Sam Hubbard out. I wouldn't have taken him on Day 2 even with how bad he is. I honestly do not think, based on his preseason performance, that he would have made the 53 if it wasn't for him being our 1st round pick.
Zay is him. Wait until he fills out his frame after his first contract is up. Dude can carve up a zone defense. Makes Andrews, a guy who can also abuse zone defense, even more dangerous in the middle of the field. Somewhere Lamar excels at throwing the ball.
Crazy to grow up and now im 21 like most of these guy’s getting drafted😂they been grinding and I just smoke weed. Just shows if you don’t do drugs you can be in the nfl
Not sure I buy the JSN excuse, Addison was 3rd in line behind Jefferson and Osborn on the start of season depth chart, but just comprehensively outplayed Osborn immediately, and stepped up just as easily to WR1 in JJs absence. JSN had the opportunity to outplay DK or Lockett, and hasn't really. UDFA Bobo has even stepped into snaps that JSN should have commanded.
Who ever says that a tight end finishing with 700+ yards and as a rookie isn’t impressive is smoking the hottest crack!! Just cause offense is popular doesn’t always mean TEs will have 1000 like a receiver. Great vid tho man🫵💪🏾
joey porter jr needs to get more attention he is as lockdown as it gets and tackling can be easily taught. i guess the only reason he sucks at tackling is because the guy he covers never gets the ball 😵💫
High draft picks are always about what they can do, and never about their flaws, While late or undrafted picks, it is about what they lack, and not what they have. For instance, Tyson Bagent, undrafted QB for the Bears. People talk about what he lacks to Justin Fields (arm strength, athleticism). Although, he seems to throw as far as he needs to, and he runs well enough to gain yards. BUT -- they don't talk about what Justin Fields lacks compared to Bagent. Bagent reads much better. Bagent distributes the ball much better, not just throwing to one or two recievers. IMO, Bagent is and always will be a better QB than Justin Fields because he knows the game batter, and he makes the game look easier.
Jordan Addison was the best WR in the class but he only fell because he was undersized. But he's proving that his size doesn't matter and a lot of team scouts need to be fired. 🔥🔥
WRs are always the ones hitting the NFL ground running, simply because there is no physical challenge at their position, and they've been running the same routes for years. All other positions (QB, CB, TE, trenches) require time to adapt to the enormous physicality and speed of NFL level.
it’s the special players that hit the ground running usually, loads of guys take time to develop but i don’t think it’s necessarily true. no matter what the ball is being throw further distances in the nfl just cause of hashes = harder catches. corners are better at breaking up coverages and poking balls out. there’s not certain positions that are given better opportunities it’s all harder and faster. if ur complete coming in it shows.
Yes, maybe CBs & TEs as well, but the complexity of defences can also take a while. WRs can definitely show out early. O and D Line guys seem to take at least two off seasons to build up their strength, but that doesn't stop many fans from having unrealistic expectations.
FAU is a good pick I would say for kc they need to build a better defense but a five year plan for a player wouldn’t be that smart because his contract will be done and if they keep jones they gonna have to pay up on defense. Knowing mahomes he probably would take a pay cut and make it work 🤦♂️ if chiefs gonna try to develop get a kinda cheap veteran like clowney or Calais Campbell to show him the ropes. Regardless it’s still Raider Nation 🏴☠️
Not a chiefs fan but uzumah (probably got it wrong) why did his snaps decrease is he still raw talent or are the chiefs just gonna develop him in case he’s needed
Your process will miss the most exciting story of the year -- Tyson Bagent, undrafted QB to the Bears. Recently, Tyson Bagent beat the #1 draft pick, Bryce Young. I think that is a great story, don't you??
I'm a Ravens fan, my standards are low for Zay Flowers' development, fingers are crossed, but the Ravens organization struggles big time in developing WRs, seen it too many times.
IF THE PURPOSE OF THE VIDEO IS TO GRADE THE PICKS AT THERE CURRENT POINTS OF PRODUCTION MID SEASON HOW CAN U GIVE INCOMPLETE AS GRADES AND BASE IT OFF POINTS OF PRODUCTION THEY MAY HAVE YRS DOWN THE ROAD??? I FEEL LIKE IF YOUR DOING GRADES …. GRADE THEM
Zay Flowers gets to much credit, He isn't playing bad but for what he was drafted as those touchdown numbers aren't going to cut it. Historically smaller route runners with good hands have a higher ratio of TD/Yards than other players and a big reason he isn't seeing the ball in the endzone is a big reason could also be why he's getting so many yards.
He ain’t throwing the ball lmao. There’s plenty of other targets and zay would be great on the midfield/deep ball but the ravens don’t throw deep hardly ever and when they do, it’s overthrown frequently. As much as I like lamar, blame him for zay’s “underperforming”
@@mateoedwin smaller route runners usually end up ranked higher in touchdowns than yards this has been historically true for over half a century. Tyreek hill ranks is first in touchdowns and yards, both Tyler lockett and Devonta Smith are near 20th in touchdowns and 50th in yards.
@@Ravens_by1k I just think he shouldn't be graded so high and that touchdowns is a more important receiver stat than people give credit. Right now I would say zay flowers is a B pick not an A-.
It's absolutely fair to blame Quentin Johnston for his lack of targets. The reason he isn't getting targeted is because he sucks. He doesn't get open and he struggles to win 1v1s. Which is to be expected for a TCU wide receiver
So glad we didn't pick Addison from the second he stepped out on stage at the draft and said "Let's get paaaaid". He'll be an issue down the line but a good player nonetheless.
@@saraxiong He's been great on the field. My conviction still is that; Although you may feel so internally, but by proclaiming such a thing the first thing you do officially, says a lot.

The fact that the Vikings have drafted Randy Moss, Percy Harvin, Stefon Diggs, Justin Jefferson, and now Jordan Addison. They are a WR factory.

Facts on facts. But yeah, don't leave out Theilen.
