2024 NFL Draft

It's important to actually read that link in the tweet to understand what this exercise is and isn't doing. The methodology and source materials are linked.

TLDR: It's not about how good a player is, what he's projected to be, how good he fits on a particular team or anything like that. It's simply looking at what draft pick a player went vs where that player was projected to go. If you have a grade A bum who is projected to go in the 5th and you got him in the late 6th, then in this analysis it was a pick that would score well regardless of the fact he's a bum.

How's everyone feeling about their team's picks last night?

Cowboys added some value by trading back and got the guy they seemed to want all along. I do worry that he played RT almost exclusively. Although he didn't allow a sack last year.

Bo Nix time in Denver... Seemed a little high but sounds like that's they Payton wanted @Mavric

49ers took a WR? Have to get @Guy Chamberlin's take on that

My Chicago Bears drafted QB Caleb Wiliams and WR Rome Odunze with the first 9 picks in the 1st round. 

So happy that they nailed it.  The future looks very good for Chicago.....

B- is about as good of a grade as I've seen for the Broncos.

But he only gave out two grades lower than that.  And they were both C+. 

So apparently he thinks everyone did great.

Yeah I noticed that too about the grades and rolled my eyes.

I like the Bo Nix pick.  Wish it was Penix instead, but Atlanta knows Cousins has 2 1/2 years of guaranteed money with Achilles injury.  For a team that plays under a roof like CJ Stroud does, it was a smart move.  No matter how unpopular.  The future matters.

Chicago also drafted the punter from Iowa, Tory Taylor in Round 4.  

Ray Guy Award Winner, 48.2 ypp, can flip the field and pin the ball inside 10 yard line.  Nice get.
