These rounds will mark the difference...
This draft could be anywhere between B and C in my book and these picks will make the difference. Right now it’s on the B-/C+ line, so there’s work to be done.

Remember, though
you can’t truly evaluate a draft until a few years down the road when we finally see these players pan out. It’s not fair to the players. I’m sure we can all have fun with our grades, but we won’t get a legit grade until a good few years from now. They didn’t pick that many EXCITING players (outside of Royal thus far), but they picked players they felt fit the system.

Oh, I Know.
I’m grading against expectations, but still. You’re right that’s it’s more about fun, but we watch this team plenty and follow the draft closely, so it’s not like we’re judging blind.

way too small
I really dislike the pick. I would have skipped CB at this point just like they are going to skip safety every year.

I didn't think it was THAT bad
I think the Dorsey, Ellis, Balmer, Sims, Laws were all great DT addition opportunities
Then add maybe moore and other guys at the second tier. Not all THAT bad. I think it was a MUCH worse safety class shakes head lol

Carlton
will be better than Laws or Sims. Denver got a steal with him. I give it a B+.

Can we write all these things down for future reference? I'd like to do that.
That’s why i never openly project players as of now I just go yay or noooo, because you really never know how things will turn out. Players could play better or could get injured…we just don’t know.

It would seem there were players in this draft no one had heard of before, and they seem to have gravitated to our team!

I wouldn't bother watching any K/Ps
I had my 3rd round completely out of whack to what really happened, and the CB pick throws me, but I am still pretty confident that Denver signs a CFA K and P. Theres nothing in this draft worth a pick when you can get ST tacklers instead.

Take away the injury
and he is a notch above, IMO. Denver will let him heal and he could be the best center in this draft. (Though Pollack will develop nicely in Indy. Maybe we call it a draw.) :)

Nah
Denver will find some “theoretical physics” way to pick a guy even THEY haven’t picked.
Really though, we have one starter (Clady), one STs standout / future slot receiver (Royal), our future project at OC (he has time, whatever his name is), A power back with patience (so perhaps he can be taught the Jedi way), A CB (every team gets a token bad pick, but maybe he’ll help on STs), and a potential at DT.
Not a lot of starters, but still a lot of flexibility for the team to work with.

TSN's evaluation (some of it sounds contradictory, but here it is)
“Strengths: Is smart and instinctive; reads and reacts to plays quickly, playing faster than timed speed would suggest. Sifts through traffic, and uses hands well to stay free from blocks. Blows up ballcarriers on inside runs. Has the strength to stack offensive line blocks at the point of attack when playing with leverage and aggressiveness. Fills holes fast, helping to make plays in the backfield or disrupt plays enough for teammates to finish the job. Drops into short zones quickly, and closes fast on passes in front of him to make hard hits after the catch. Reads screen passes well, avoids blockers and gets outside quickly to make tackles. Times blitzes well to get through the line and pressure quarterbacks.
Weaknesses: Lacks the speed, explosiveness and agility to consistently make plays in the open field or in pass coverage. Shows limited range, and struggles to make plays outside the offensive tackles. Tends to run upright in pursuit, and thus overruns plays and misses some tackles. In coverage, lacks the explosiveness to close in time to break up passes. Lacks the agility and speed to cover tight ends man-to-man; allows separation, and lacks the burst to catch up.
Bottom line: Larson looks like the classic tough, overachieving college middle linebacker who tends to struggle in the NFL. However, the more we evaluated Larson the more we liked him even though he is sure to blend in during pre-draft workouts. He must join a traditional 4-3 defense and because he lacks the speed to get deep down the middle in a Tampa-2 scheme. He, like the Chargers’ Matt Wilhelm, also can make it in a speed 3-4 scheme.”

What a wasted pick.
The Redskins haven’t had very many picks for eons, they should not waste them on skinny submariner throwers. A few relievers in baseball have been effective with submarine deliveries, but that nonsense doesn’t work in the NFL. Hawaii makes the rest of their division look defenseless, those teams just need to play tough ball and quit drinking so many mai-tais when they go to the islands.

Our ST has been deficient for years, looks like the Shanahan braintrust is using the double barreled shotgun draft approach again. I like this approach, but I really wanted to get two run stuffers.

Comforting words from New Era Scouting
Big, athletic safety who can cover a lot of space. The leader of Arizona State’s defense. Can play near the line or in deep coverage. May be the best overall safety in this year’s draft. Great character. Biggest downside is a history of nagging injuries that slowed him down.Should be a good but not great starter at the next level. Has likely reached his ceiling. Excels at blanketing tight ends and is a quality player versus the run. Played in a quarters defense, which allowed him to roam and control a small zone.
