Wow illuminating.

Always was a bizarre pick and draft. The 21 draft didn’t ultimately go that well either but at least the picks made sense, they just missed on all but barmore/rham. It is what it is. 22 is incredibly frustrating. Strange and thornton made no sense. Jack jones was a 4th rd caliber pick WITHOUT the character issues. Marcus was the only pick in the relevant rounds that made any sense.

These 2 drafts were a big part of the rebuild going sideways. 20 and 23 drafts look good, 21 free agent class was good, though it left little $$ for us to operate in 22 and 23.

2020 draft looks good? We got no impact offense players, in a draft loaded with superstar receivers.

We had pick 23, lamb and Jefferson incredulously fell to 17 and 22. We could have moved up for peanuts to draft one of them. Even if we stayed pat, we could have drafted Jonathan Taylor, Tee Higgins, Brandon Aiyuk, or Michael Pittman. Instead we traded out of the first round for a division 2 safety (over Antoine Winfield and Trevon Diggs)

Our 2nd round pick doesn’t even play on our team anymore

We finally drafted offense in round 3…doubling up on two of the worst tight ends I have ever seen..Dalton Keene and Devon ASSiasi

Awful draft

If you come out of a draft with 3 starters thats a success. Dugger and onwenu excelled for us though dugger is having a rough year . Jennings is a solid starter and becoming more of a factor in pass rush.

Biggest problem with this isn't that we lose a 3rd year receiver who could never translate potential onto the field, that happens all the time.
The real issue is that 5 of our 6 WR's barely run a 4.5 40.
Douglas is the only one in the 4.4's

This is my only problem with the timing. We all know he was not good. He was still better than Polk or Baker for this season. When no one traded for him, then just keep him through the rest of the year and at least clear out some space downfield and take an occasional shot to keep defenses honest. Maybe Boote becomes that guy instead, but I don't know who else fits the profile -- even lacking in skills and good hands. Seemed a bit reactionary to me.

Boutte - Bourne and Pop are all number Three's...the rest are number Fives. I am not wishing upon a star get Real WR Talent to help them. Slow Polk and Baker are Dead to me.

Excelled in what? Not helping us win games? We have continually passed on elite playmakers in premium positions in the draft and here we are…not a playoff win in 6 years.

Boutte, Mourne, and Soda Pop would be number 3/4s on most NFL teams. Only on the patriots are they number 1 options

Don't tell that to the Draft Gurus around here.

Soda Pop ran like he didn't know the Play before the Int.

You need more than 3 guys to win games. We havent drafted elite playmakers in a long time aside from gonzo and hopefully drake, the 2020 draft is the least of the issues here. If you think a draft yielding 3 very good starters is awful we’ll just have to agree to disagree there.

3.3% seems a bit high.

Pop will have Wes welker esque numbers once tree top catch Higgins get here don't you worry PF2..

I think Pop had the right idea, he was breaking open, Maye had to rush the throw because of pressure.

What's with us and the number 32??

I'm glad all who watch included ownership who have the best view of things can see what Drake needs.. if that was Higgins or DJ Moore on the outside pop is wide open. Getting Drake some guys on the outside will take him to the next level.. is clearly evident

D-Mac was pretty good.
