I like the Colts draft so far. First two picks have tons of potential to be near the top of their positions and got some needed o-line depth and potential starter. Just gotta shore up that secondary now.

The Jaguars drafted 3 great athletes with less than ideal career college production, and I guess we'll see if any of the lottery tickets cash out (they usually don't)

The Jaguars have continued their trend of drafting athletic lottery tickets by drafting two more at DT and CB, an undersized speedster with no production at RB, along with an offensive tackle who isn't very athletic but has great production, and I immediately have more faith in the big guy with good tape than anyone else the Jags have picked since at least the third round

I've posted it before, but the Jaguars over the years have to be the absolute worst when it comes to drafting players. It's honestly incredible given how often they've drafted in the top 10/5 over the last 15 years. You'd think they'd hit on a few superstars by loving accident.

Don’t love the WR pick but ultimately it’s a back of roster guy anyway. If they wanted an impact WR they would have missed out on gray or brownlee

yeah he could just be a returner, he was at tulane. given that’s been a cursed position for the titans, not a bad investment tbqh. kinda weird they didn’t just get malik washington given how popular he is with draft nerds but maybe they just dont like him for whatever reason. also fun, he was tyjae spears’ roommate at tulane and tyjae was at the draft party when he got picked.

JT Jag posted:Look back at the 2020 draft, it's literally one of the worst drafts in NFL history The only two players they've even hit on in the last 5 years are Trevor Lawrence (who was a gimme and the jury's still out on him) and Josh Allen. Their horrible drafting goes way back further than Baalke. Christ, their last real legit good draft pick/hit might be loving Maurice Jones Drew now that I'm sitting here thinking about it. I guess you could say Jalen Ramsey but that was a dumpster fire too. For over a decade they were drafting in the top ten (and often top five) and if anyone can name a real star they chose anywhere I'm all ears. Luke Joekel, Justin Blackmon and Blake Bortles in the top five I believe. Trading up for Bortles and Blaine Gabbert and Derrick Harvey and Donte Fowler. It's the main reason they've sucked for so long. Seriously, go look at this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacksonville_Jaguars_draft_history Incredible

I don't understand how Baalke still has a job, he has the weirdest predilections when it comes to drafting and he's usually dead wrong. the BTR pick in the 1st was good but outside of that it's a lot of "we'll see". the only good choices he's made was hiring Pederson to coach the collection of bizarre talent he assembleslobster shirt posted:drafting a tight end when you already have dalton schulz seems a little odd but other texans fans seem to like the pick so maybe it is fine its CJ's old college TE so that alone makes it a pretty good pick, should offer him another comfortable safety valve and he's pretty raw but very athletic.

Titans 2024 1 (7) J.C. Latham, OT Alabama 2 (38) T’Vondre Sweat, DT Texas 4 (106) Cedriq Gray, LB UNC 5 (146) Jarvis Brownlee Jr, CB Louisville 6 (182) Jha’Quan Jackson, WR Tulane 7 (242) James Williams, S Miami 7 (252) Jaylen Harrell, OLB Michigan Three starting pillars into depth secondary into two special teamers into athletic potential edge. After how splashy FA was, totally fine with this foundational draft. Couple more rounds of FA once cuts start happening and we’ll have a team!!

Overall i feel pretty drat good about it. I would have liked to see them try and accrue more picks but for staying Pat at all their spots, they hit their needs and got some guys with upside late in both seventh rounders. Overall the Gray pick is my favorite given where they were able to get him but I do like sweat a lot also.

Colts Draft: 1: DE-Laiatu Latu (UCLA) 2: WR-Adonai Mitchell (Texas) 3: OL-Matt Goncalves (Pitt) 4: C-Tanor Bortolini (Wisc) 5: WR-Anthony Gould (Oregon St.) 5: LB-Jaylon Carlies (Mizzou) 5: CB-Jaylin Simpson (Auburn) 6: CB-Micah Abraham (Marshall) 7: DT-Jonah Laulu (Oklahoma)  Couple picks with high upside. Latu is more anti Ballard, he wasn't the most freakish player with mediocre productions, he was an above average athlete with elite production. We'll see how that goes. I love the gamble on a falling AD Mitchell, hopefully Ballard's words ring true and he works out. Having Richardson/JT/Pittman/Mitchell/Downs is a pretty solid start behind a good offensive line. Speaking of the line, it looks like they added depth to help with how banged up Kelly and Braden Smith have been the last couple years. not a bad idea since the run of CBs really limited the Colts options. Got some secondary help, as Carlies is probably a Safety or S/LB hybrid type, and a couple other DBs. Gould will probably compete to be a teamer/PS guy, and Laulu is a RAW guy with incredible traits. Would've loved for the draft to fall differently, but I can't complain about the picks with the players available when the Colts drafted.

Gould was a really good KR in college, you can pencil him in as one of the primary guys there IMO.

Ok but that's true for literally any player so it makes grading immediately after the draft pointless (which is already fairly true)

Intruder posted:Ok but that's true for literally any player so it makes grading immediately after the draft pointless (which is already fairly true) Well, to me, grading a draft is a lot of the time "which team mitigated the most risk." Since only 1/3 of draft picks get 2nd contracts from their original team, it's about using those resources (especially the valuable picks) in impactful ways. Atlanta gets a poor grade because this involves a ton of risk (and cost in the terms of $100M of Cousins) vs reward. Teams that generally draft below consensus, stick to positional value, and don't shed extra trade capital generally end up with stronger rosters. Like, I always get irked when Ballard trades back, because he always ends up with a billion 5-7 round picks. Sure, that's great for ST and maybe finding some replacement level starters, but you have to get needle movers with the high leverage picks. If you turn those early picks into later picks with more lottery tickets, you end up with a team of B+ talent. With Atlanta, if they drafted Penix #8 and he ends up being the 2nd best QB in this draft and has a solid 5-6 year run? No one will care, they gambled this once and beat the dice roll. But if they continue to make those type of gambles, they'll end up the Jags.

Grading drafts is fun and stupid. If you don’t take it seriously you can have nice things like the draftermath thread. If you take it seriously you end up with tweet spreadsheets indicating where the content creator plans to plant their next pipe bomb, as seen above. Anybody with a pulse knows you can’t assess these things until a few years later (or six months later in Isaiah Wilson’s case lol.)
