if two to three of these players make a splash then Lynch saves his job if not I think he gets replaced after this year.

Unless Kyle complains, it ain't happening. Besides he help build the team which is always in the hunt.

Draft grades are stupid. They are not based on anything other than naw value.

give it 2 years and then grade.

it's always fun to see "re-draft" based on who should of went where - based on how theyve played.

on paper, I give this a D grade... J-Dig is the only player who I feel that is keeping this draft an F...

but really, grades should not be handed out after year 3..

If Kyle/Lynch had any previously successful drafts, then you're right it wouldn't matter. But they don't, so fans are right to question their methodology.

I use Playoff and Super Bowl appearances to grade my front office.

few have better records than Lynch

Why not? That is the only TRUE assessment. Why they have things like redraft. Shows how wrong they were.

The biggest moments are when their poor drafting comes back to bite them. A lack of depth and a lack of talent at key positions is why they have zero SBs to show for.

I'm hoping they have learned their lessons.

Romello Height and Gracen Halton are the only draft pick that will see the fields. The only way De'Zhaun Stribling plays is if there is an injury and they are still not happy with Jordan Watkins. They didn't play Jordan Watkins last year, are they going to change and play a rookie WR this year. If CMC is healthy are they going to play Kaelon Black ? Are they going to play Jordan James? Are they going to cut Jordan James ? What about Isaac Guerendo ? They traded up to draft Guerendo .

depth can't be top of the lines starters and it wasn't the issue in the SBs

Depth is who flubbed a kickoff return and a key starter got his QB smoked

An udfa blowing a coverage on 3rd and 15 still hurts to this day.

This front office just doesn't draft well at the top. Their coaching and development of late round picks and free agents is amazing. Imagine if they cared about value and actually picked BPA in the first 3-4 rounds.
