I thought there were better players at most of the selections and needs could have been addressed more adequately. Your right though. No sense in being mad now. What's done is done and we have to hope these players can help the team win.

My thinking is if ShanaLynch gets clocked for reaching in the draft, do they get bonus reach points for hitting on UDFA agent players?

I wonder if there's going to be AI CPU wars at Division I college football now? Do they rank AI CPU's like in Tom's hardware?

Not for a 2nd rd pick when he's not signed past this season so no I'd rather have Height on a rookie 4yr deal than give a 2nd and whatever it'd cost to keep him

It also wouldn't be just a 2nd, it would require (or at least expect) an extension. So it's a 2nd and a lot of cap space (relative to a 4-year rookie 2nd round contract)

crazy that he's entering yeae 5 in the pros but is the same age as some our rookies. Lol NCAA is all over the place

Lynch takes a lot of heat about taking Mitch Wishnowsky and i think i've seen several charts showing he's his biggest reach to date. Horrible value i agree but go look at the 144 players taken after Wishnowsky. Less than 10 of them ever panned out. Thats a 7% chance we'd hit on a pick that would have been a good "value" if we didn't draft Wish.

And to top it off, they did pick one of those 10 players later on. Dre Greenlaw.

I'd never pick a kicker or punter that early but at the end of the day they got more "value" out of the player than 93% of the players drafted after him.

Yeah I wouldn't have given more than a 4th for him with him only signed for this season just not worth it for a rental and who knows what he'll cost as he will still get paid as a FA as we know how it is even good players get paid ridiculous money

Look I get we haven't hit on every pick but for christ sake this post on X is so stupid, including 2024-2026 picks when you can't fully evaluate players for 3yrs at minimum, and he says only Brock was a hit, yet Green, Stout, Brown, Mustapha, Puni, Collins/West are all slated as starters, while Bethune, Sigle, Colby, Winters, Burford, K.Davis have all started games and aren't bad picks, just cause they're not stars doesn't mean they were bad, just ignorant IMO, also sick of this "consensus boards online" crap, I don't care what these "experts" think, they don't know all 32 boards, or how all 32 teams feel about every player, look at Jermod McCoy, ranked top 15, went 4th rd, Shedeur Sanders 1st rd ranking went 5th rd, so annoyed by people who think they know better than those inside the NFL, I remember under Baalke when Kiper would give us an A every year, yeah didn't turn out great, Lynch isn't the best, but he sure as hell isn't a bottom 5 GM, he's top 10, not sure there's many I'd take over him, sure SEA, LAR, PHI, KC, and some others are as good or better, for ppl to act like every other team hits on every pick every yr, look at SEA before last few yrs, whiff after whiff, yet everyone loves them now, JFC, getting sick of nonsense like this.

Agree. In the end, it's all about improving the productivity of the draft process. Whether through criticism or praise it doesn't matter. What's the AV of the players that you selected that would be one measure. How do we stack up against the other 32 teams for AV by position. That would be an interesting analysis. And AV of course is pretty anonymous it doesn't tell you about the quality of the snaps. But it is one universal measure. Probably the AV number should be adjusted by relative position in the draft because it makes sense that earlier drafting teams would have better scores than later drafting teams

Media draft boards are highly influenced by player agents. It's more marketing for the player than true value they bring to the team. I don't understand why people get so upset with the picks.
