Walterfootball overall team draft grades

I would have said a B because I feel like 3 picks were kind of a reach. The Brandon Hogan, Lawrence Wilson, and Zach Williams picks were reaches. If Newton, McClain, and Fua succeed and we get any contribution from Hogan, Wilson, and Williams than this draft will be a success.

Note: I didn't add Lee Ziemba because I think he will be a stud and a future starter in the league with the Panthers.

You totally ignore Pilares. I think he will be very good if we use him correctly. By 2012, you are going to eat your words concering Brandon Hogan. The guy is a ball-hawking beast who fits well into our system. He will start.

We have always been good at developing OL, especially late rounders. That's something you can really credit our staff for.

Old staff, totally new team in place now. Hope they can do the same.

Also speaking of Walter, he hated the WR pick, called him "undraftable"

I can't help but to wonder how much homework these draft analysts did on Pilares. I have seen at least two scouting reports that called this kid slow, yet all you have to do is watch those clips of him outrunning the entire USC defense to know that's complete BS, not to mention his 4.42 40 time, which is on par with Percy Harvin.

These guys are all just lazy, I guess.

    • Went back and calculated for you since I knew you'd probably reply with something along these lines. From what I can see, the comparison is fairly equal. Since the 2014 season, Duke has an overall record of 68-62 (.523) while UNC-CH has a record of 71-62 (.533). In that timeframe, UNC-CH has appeared in 8 bowl games with a record of 1-7 in those games. Duke has been to 6 and has a record of 5-1 in those games. While UNC has more bowl appearances, their futility in them can't be overlooked. From most objective measures UNC-CH and Duke have been pretty equal programs over the past decade. There is one caveat, that being that UNC has 2 ACCG appearances to Duke's 0, however Duke's latest ACCG appearance was in 2013 which misses the 10 year timeframe by 1 year. So I guess you could say UNC-CH has been slightly better, but if so it's not by a very noticeable margin.  That clearly wasn't the intent of bringing up the fact that Duke has won more recently. This was to provide evidence to the notion that "UNC is competing for ACC titles every year" seems a bit silly when you haven't won one in 44 years nor do you appear in them all that frequently. I mean, you really think a team that is mainly being elevated by a star QB would have a chance against Bama or Clemson that has 5 stars and top flight coaching all over the roster? There's a reason UNC-CH barely broke into the top 10 when they had a record of 6-0 in 2023. Same story in 2022. Everyone knew it, including the pollsters. Except y'all, apparently.  Of course, I never argued otherwise. Having an entire season hinge around a rivalry game is pretty pathetic, you won't find any argument from me here. Huh? A post ago, you were just saying that nothing before 2005 counted. So which is it? It seems like your timeframes are jumping around. Yeah, our record in the 90s and 00s was pretty awful. Against everyone, not just y'all. Don't think any Duke fan would argue the Ted Roof days were a golden age.  
    • Everything is measured in championships bro.  No im not, I don’t expect Duke to win one.  I know what we are.  I’m enjoying the hell out of 5-0, if they don’t win another game, I’m happy for what we got. To you’re SEC dude, I’ll find the article where 16 of the SEC members have to be in agreement for any expansion and 14 have already said NO to ANY ACC school, including FSU and Clemson this why they are back at the table with negotiations with the ACC.
    • Paul Finebaum is a clown. This dude trashed Prime a week ago, then today he goes on Nat'l tv and apologizes and says Prime might have them in the Big 12 championship lmao   These TV personalities are characters take what they say with a grain of salt.
