Grading our Recent Draft History

Considering Fitterer probably didn't have that much to do with the first class after he arrived, the guy really sucked as a GM.

Remember we made fun of Rhule’s wife picking Hubbard because she liked him. Rhule was very familiar with Hubbard so you are right, I doubt he had much to do with the 2021 draft. Chuba ran for 173 and 2 TDs against Rhule’s last Baylor team.

Yep, and everyone saw that coming except the Panthers who traded away the future the year before.

That’s our MO. We drafted a risky torn ACL in the 2nd as the 1st RB drafted when the 2025 RB draft class is loaded and deep. A healthy Brooks might be a 3rd rounder in 2025 and we took him in 2024 knowing he might not even play in 2024 which makes the not looking ahead at the 2025 RB class all that much more idiotic.

I know our finish and Young were way better than expected but we really need honest to goodness good drafts. While we won two OT games in the last 4 games, we also lost 30-14 and 48-14 in the other two games.

We can’t have another feel good draft where we tell ourselves that Legette, Brooks, Wallace and Sanders might be OK someday. I’d bet good money that there aren’t many, if any, teams that would trade their top 4 picks for our top 4 in this past draft.

Incredibly stupid pick even before he got hurt again this year.  There's so many good backs coming out this year.  It's absolutely crazy.

And this is the fine line crappy teams walk. Imagine this team if they had hit on a promising DE in the second instead of what they now have with Brooks. 

Imagine if we just took Brandon Fiske instead of trading him to the Rams. 8.5 sacks for a rookie DT seems pretty good. That Rams’ 2nd has gone from top 5 to bottom 8 since the early games and Fiske is part of the reason. Reminds me of the CMC trade where we thought we might be getting top half of the round picks only to get the 31st pick of each round, significantly devaluing the trade. We on the other hand think we are giving up late round picks for Darnold and CJ Henderson and Young, but they all end up top 5 or so picks.

We are one of the worst drafting and trading teams around.

    • The problem is that A LOT of people here haven't been saying this, they've been saying these last 10 games have proved he's the player the team thought they were drafting and are completely confident that we've found our long term QB solution. I think people pointing to the KC and Eagles games as proof of his play are just sticking their heads in the sand when it comes to elite teams overlooking games that they consider easy wins, like we were to those two legit SB caliber teams.  You can not believe that's a thing if you want, and yes, sometimes those great teams blow the doors off the bad teams (like the Lions did a few times this year), but there is a LONG history of those being closer than they should be games because the better team was looking ahead.
    • I mean all this is why a lot of us are still skeptical he'll be a long term answer at QB. But, he's managed to make a lot of difficult throws into tight windows. His yardage is low, yes, but his productivity overall is pretty good. Long term, what will it be like? That's what we'll have to see.
    • Again, #1 flaw in your post is you're trying to compare Bryce's last 10 games vs the rest of the league's 17 game averages (for the 2 TD stat). As like I pointed out, Nix falls below your 2 TD a game average number, but over his last 10 games he's actually at 2.5 per game.  If you pull the best 10 game stretch for all QB's this year, I'd be quite confident in saying Bryce is NOT in the top 16. You don't want to remove the one (or two) best games from Bryce's averages but you want to include up to the 7 worst games from other QB's you're comparing him to. And the reason I picked Goff was because he was so close to the 2 TD per game number over the course of the season.  Hence why I then did his best 10 game stretch to give a better comparison to your Bryce number, which again, he came in at 2.6 TDs per game. If you want to use Bryce's 10 game numbers, you need to do equal comparisons for everyone else as well. It all also again just ignores that this magical 2 TD per game number you like to point out is only the case because of 20% of the games in the stretch you're talking about, if not for that, it's significantly less.
