You almost had me with that CJ fakeout 😂😂😂
I opened up the comments immediately 😂
@@Captainaceguy00 I could feel my blood pressure rising
Not gonna lie. First time this channel that I went "wait wha…."
Anyone who actually watched Darnell Wright this year can tell you he was the best Offensive Lineman the Bears had. He was straight up dominant in a number of games and his impact is being way underrated here. He's going to be a damn good player in the league.
No way dude! Fields’ fans have been telling me he sucks because he allows pressures after Justin hold on to the ball for 10+ seconds!
@@juanmikel7507yeah but fields looked a lot better when his oline looked better so that’s irrelevant really
@@orphancauser7960Fields looked average when his o line was good.
@@orphancauser7960 He still hold on to the ball for way too long. If he was a rookie I would understand but he’s a 3 year starter now. Time to give the offense a new quarterback
@@juanmikel7507please make this happen Bears 🙏😂
We learned a valuable lesson. Always trust Brad Holmes. No matter what.
Big AZZ FAX! Lions made a deep playoff run on the backs of all of his draft picks!
I’m excited to see what he does this offseason. Especially since he can focus a bit more on the other side of the ball.
They could select Tim Horn the rice kicker with the 29th pick and I would still trust Brad
crazy that if the coach had just taken the points the lions of all teams likely would be back in the SB rn. after basically not having post season success in like 30 years@@primeup6955
Fr. I’d like him to maybe trade up for Kool Aid but we’ll see
As soon as Broderick Jones came into the starting lineup it transformed the run game to one of the best in the league
Exactly. Not a single mention of run blocking.
This guy does not like the Steelers
Broderick Jones should get a slight pass because for most of the time he was blocking for Pickett and Trubisky, both of whom like to run out of clean pockets and straight into DEs
😂
This is facts
He does as does Darnell Wright of the Bears who dealt with the same thing from Fields (except Justin holds the ball A LOT)
Hand up - That’s on me for not mentioning that and how QB play impacts OL when I should have
@@FootballAnalysis1BJ is also the reason why the Steelers had a run game towards the middle of the season. Once BJ started you will see the Steelers rushing yards went up.
Any. Great video. I enjoy your content.
@@raheemjenkins6110 thank you Raheem!
Will McDonald IV being a 24yr old developmental prospect should be ranked lower than "incomplete" compared to Lukas Van Ness being a 22yr old developmental prospect.
McDonald is a good player... he just didn't get much playing time cause of Pro-bowler JJ, 10 sack Huff, JFM.

@@Kyle22oiferpart of the reason I no longer consider myself Christian despite believing in some kind of afterlife is because of people like you. Nobody spreads their beliefs in places it doesn’t belong more than Christian’s do. Let people live their life it’s almost as bad as enforcing lgbt on us.
@@benlubshes a jets fan, nothing can save him from eternal suffering
@@immaculatesquidas a Jets fan, we’re doomed
The Darnell Wright disrespect is CRAZY. Single-handedly shut down Max Crosby and plenty of others.
Meanwhile the A+ towards Jalen Carter who did close to nothing in back half of the season. Going to be good but these don’t add up.
simply bc this dude is just parroting sports media and PFF darlings. No open mindness here no personal opinions just analytics
You couldn't be more correct. This guy is a compiler not an analyzer.
A crazy thing about Will Anderson is right when he was starting to convert his pressure % into sacks, he injured his ankle and missed a few games and was on a snap count for the rest of them. He finally pieced it all together and will be even better next year
And he was getting held on almost every play and never got the call
He also was in the top 5 for double team %. He’s a beast and other teams know it
If Anderson doesn't get injured he definitely hits double digit sacks.
Broderick was amazing as a run blocker, to not even mention that is crazy
True Pittsburgh numbers instantly went up when he was put into the starting lineup
He’s going off of stats. He didn’t watch tape.
@@BlitzBurke yea but if you're handing out grades you need to look at run block stats too as that's half his job.
It was totally neglected. Offensive Linemen pass block AND run block.
@@eternal_napalm6442 especially a run first offense like the Steelers, him, and Darnell were a big reason why they’re running it picked up at the end of the year
As others have said, your Broderick jones grade is head scratching. He was a beast in run blocking, and a lot of his "pressures" were Pickett or Trubisky taking the worst angle or spinning into the face of pressure inexplicably. I like a lot of your vids, but it feels like you just checked the PFF metrics and didn't actually watch him play, which is understandable since forced watching the Steelers 2023 offense should be considered a war crime. I give this vid a C+.
Run blocking was totally neglected. He was elite at run blocking. How does one "analyze" an Offensive Lineman and totally neglect run blocking?
It should also be mentioned that Broderick was the youngest and least experienced
of the big OT's coming out that year. Once he refines his blocking technique a bit,
he has a good chance of becoming a dominant player. Really enjoy the temperament
with which he plays the game, and his athleticism is extraordinary. Loved this pick.
I can't stress enough how terribly mishandled Forbes and the WAS secondary was this year. WE HAD A HIGH SCHOOL COACH AS OUR DB COACH TO REPLACE THE ONE THAT LEFT US AND HE AND DEL RIO GOT FIRED. A year ago our secondary was better than what people hoped, only problem was injury and no true no.1, hopefully Dan Quinn and the new DC and Corner coach are more competent than Ron's staff of yes men.
This...
Its actually baffling how bad of a staff Rivera and the rest of the commies front office put together, ESPECIALLY on the defensive side.
Don't worry imma eagles fan so yea I understand smfh
Well also Del Rio also played a lot of man coverage. Forbes played a crap load of zone in college. There's the main problem right there
Say what you will about Dan Quinn as a HC, but he's a damn good secondary coach. I still think Gonzalez was the pick for them, but Forbes should be better next year
Jahmyr Gibbs, who was one of the lions best players as a rookie, was second in the league in yards per carry, A
Jalen Carter looked decent, didn’t play as much as you would like, didn’t really change any meaningful games, A+
lmfao right like cmon
I do not get the Jalen Carter hype man.
You gotta ask how much the lions needed a 2nd running back and whether it was worth a 1st round pick
Jalen Carter may be a generational DT, but he's one of 11 guys, he can't defend passes or get to guys beyond the line of scrimmage, but he did his job at the highest level for a team with a struggling defense. Plus DTs last a long time.
@@aaronsams8605Gibbs is kind of like Deebo Samuel in the fact that he's more of just an offensive weapon than strictly a running back or wide receiver
@@jacobhowland623nah the play was Bijan, but I have 0! Regrets for Gibbs
Lucas van ness playing over 300 snaps and half of those snaps ending in him making a tackle is actually quite amazing.
Hes goin somewhere
10% of those snaps, not half!
Found your channel not too long ago, love your style. Keep it up man the vids are great.
Thank you!
As a Steelers fan he will be a better left tackle in his future but Broderick Jones is a beast 6:06
Broderick Jones played really good, boasted our run game when he played
C+ for Broderick Jones is odd since it's clear they want him to go back to LT. The fact he (temporarily) came in at RT AND instantly transformed the run game into bully ball is crazy good in my book
yeah well id say most people hate the steelers now adays
I appreciate the Incomplete on Lukas Van Ness. I think A- would have been a little too high and C+ would have been too low. I think he’s a solid B+ on the field, with A upside. The Packers just need to find their defensive identity, and I think Van Ness is a potential lynch pin
Packers are notorious for drafting for the future and developing players under Gute. They're doing the same thing they did with Gary. Draft an athletic freak with high football iq but a little raw. Then slowly develope them behind 2 solid starters. Can't deny the results they've had when they take this approach and I trust the process.
not letting bijan touch the ball more was devilish. every time he touched it something happened. bro was insane
Yeah what arthur smith is really weird when it comes to play calling lol. He should feast now hopefully
You don’t kill your brand new RB away when you’re not in contention. No need to kill the kids career away in a throw away season. I am a Longhorn’s fan, and he has a little bit of Barry Sander’s in him with speed. When they get better, everyone will know his name.
Can't wait for the Houston content!
I love these types of videos.
Lovie smith goated for winning that extra game to get us the second pick gave us cj stroud
Because Carolina took Ryan leaf with the 1st pick . All rumored that the QB David wanted and didn't listen to Frank.😀😀
@@anthonyslazas6413 Those rumors are untrue. Carolina's beat writers have confirmed Reich pushed for Bryce.
Great vid as always!
Loving the content man! Did you ever get your podcast up and going?
Thank you Logan! Also I did not as I had some personal things come up and I am focusing on just the channel for now (I am good btw if you are wondering in regards to the personal part)
Didn't come here expecting "incomplete " on dudes that played well over 100 snaps. You get a D+ for the video
Ikr why even make the fkn video
Super cool analysis Homie 🏈 CJ reverses the communities preseason expectations along with silencing the critics 🏈
Appreciate your support king
You do a nice job of analysis.
As always thanks for the spicy content! 🙏🏻 🌶️
15:54 I'm not going to lie, you got me 😂
Let's go spoon!!! So excited to watch this Seattle defense grow!
Id like to see more videos like this.
As a Packers fan im surprised you gave Van Ness that high of a grade. Thought he was underwhelming.
He's an agragator not an analyzer. That's why.
I subscribed after the "Put your keyboards down" after the A grade for C.J. 😂
Titans OL coach had 2 years of NFL OL coaching experience after coming over after OL coaching COLGATE of all schools. Don't close the book on Skoronski guys. Entire Titans line underperformed outside of Chris Hubbard and last month Radunz
I find it odd how when Broderick Jones was evaluated, not a single mention at all was made on his run blocking. He was a bulldozer in run blocking and was truly elite. Offensive Linemen pass block AND run block.
Paris Johnson is a beast, he’s going to be an All Pro. He was solid the first half of the season but the 2nd half of the year he looked like an All Pro at times and weeks 9-18 ranked as a top 25 OT from via PFF. He was a good pass protector all year but 2nd half of the season was borderline elite posting PFF Pass Pro grades in the 70s to mid 80s almost every week and dramatically improved his technique n run blocking all while facing a murderers row of EDGE talents. And that’s all while playing a position he had NEVER played till he was drafted and signed into the NFL at RT.
Next season come 2024 I think AZ moves him to his natural position at LT and becomes an elite top 10 caliber OT making his first Pro Bowl. At his size with elite athleticism moving incredibly well for his size at 6”6/325 with long 36in long arms I think he’ll be a top tier pass protector for a long time to come, he’s a beast he’s so fluid he reminds me a lot of Laremy Tunsil whom he often draws comps to.
At RT I think AZ drafts another elite mover with a massive frame whom excels as a pass protector w/36in long arms but needs refinement in OKLs 6”7/328pd RT Tyler Guyton who’s a beast on the field and would give Kyler Murray two Pro Bowl caliber athletes locking up his edges protecting him. At 27 I think they take Guyton.
Saying Darnell Wright and Tyree Wilson are close to the same grade is EXTREAMLY wrong.
I finally subscribed. You talked about the seahawks.
What about JSN?
Darnell Wright should be higher. He was a monster in the run game and they didn’t even address it.
What people forget is that it wasn’t just a Trade back for the Lions. When they traded back, they essentially got Gibbs AND LaPorta in exchange for Bijon. All teams would take that trade one year later.
Looking forward to more Texans content!
Hi, I like your video.
C.J.Stroud is a awesome special player excellent decisions with the ball to start his rookie year but i can assure you this he will take the Texans to the Super Bowl and beyond you got a great rookie coach in Demeco Ryan's and both rookies in Stroud and Anderson Jr too it's A+ no doubt about it 15:22
#NickKnew
thank you lovie for this parting gift 🙏🏽
Now that we know the initial results, Texans basically traded a #12 & #27 for a #3(Will Anderson Jr), ouch.
Texans had their best draft ever
1st rd. #2 overall - Stroud - QB - ORotY
1st rd. #3 overall - Anderson - DE - DRotY
2nd rd - Scruggs - starting C after being hurt for first few weeks.
3rd rd. Tank Dell - starting slot with insane cuts.
5th rd. Henry To'o To'o - starting LB, was everywhere.
7th rd. Patterson - starting OL, filled in for injuries as a 7th rd'er & killed it.
Imagine getting Will Anderson Jr with the 27th pick in 2024😮
I hate when people think they know what the hell they are talking about even tho THEY NEVER WATCHED SOME OF THESE PLAYERS PLAY LIVE. Dude. Number 77 Brodrick Jones was better than a C+. He instantly andd i mean instantly transformed that Oline especially when running the ball.
There is sooo much hype and pressure placed on the 1st Round
Great vid man, thank you for giving players an incomplete / going in on the players potential… some of these analysis are so quick to call players a bust now a days.
Thank you Corey!
Skoronski also had an appendectomy a few weeks into the season
The Texans nailed the draft!!!
And they still have a first round pick at 23,and $66 million in cap space third highest in the NFL.
Beef up the O line
just not finding this video lol, but Broderick Jones wasn't moved to RT because he struggled at LT, he showed flashes at left but the play at RT with Chuks was poor after he got paid so they benched him for BJ hoping that would show a little more promise out of the line until they find a solution this upcoming season possibly moving him back at left
Washington really looked at Emmanuel Forbes and said “yeah, this guy can guard AJ Brown twice a year”
He’s still young and was a zone corner scheme fit
Not only could Forbes not cover AJ Brown, he couldn't tackle him either. Why they put Forbes, their smallest corner on AJ Brown is beyond me, and then they had Fuller on DeVonte Smith. It should have been the other way around. One of the many reasons Jack Del Rio and Ron Rivera are out of work.
I hope he can be saved with the new D and a different position and assignment but will probably never live up to a first round grade
Will McDonald IV being a 24yr developmental prospect be ranked lower than "incomplete" compared to Lukas Van Ness being a 22yr developmental prospect. Anyone who actually watched Darnell Wright this year can tell you he was the best Offensive Lineman the Bears had.

Found your channel not too long ago, love your style. Keep it up man the vids are great. Loving the content man! Did you ever get your podcast up and going? The Texans owe Lovie Smith an apology.
I watched Bryce Young all season, and can't help but be worried about his lack of tonicity and physical impact. He better work on his athleticism (above all: footwork and reactivity after his drop), because he was swarmed and swallowed up so easily all year long. One of? It’s safe to say CJ Stroud had the best QB rookie season of all time. It’s not much of a debate. The Saints' poor draft trades continue Olave is a good receiver for a potential all-pro Carter Anthony Richardson is a stud but he needs to learn how to slide or go down to avoid those hits We also learned owners should never make the pick decisions…. 👀 David Tepper Didn't come here expecting "incomplete " on dudes that played well over 100 snaps. You get a D+ for the video If Richardson can stay healthy, this is an insane 2-5. Lovie Smith goated for winning that extra game to get us the second pick gave us CJ Stroud I always thought the upside on CJ was better. I thought Bruce would be just an average QB in the league when the Panthers picked him, but he hasn’t played like it. I just hope he gets the help he needs I'd like to see more videos like this.
Let's go spoon!!! So excited to watch this Seattle defense grow! That A was about to stand for ass-whooping. A+ sounds better #NickKnew thank you Lovie for this parting gift 🙏🏽Lions GM Brad Holmes must be by far the best general manager in the league, Teams should bring in guys from the Lions staff
Well as a Panthers fan, 😅 we are used to losing 😂I love these types of videos. Bryce Young's best receiver was Adam Thelin, let that sink in Can you do a draft class video. As a Bears fan, I’m really curious to see what you think about Caleb Looking forward to more Texans content! The Texans stole the draft As a Jets fan I like McDonald but we had far more pressing needs. Gonzo 😂As always thanks for the spicy content! 🙏🏻 🌶Carter's A+ is crazy ngl I should've heard that gasp on that CJ grade lol!
The role of the OL is not just pass protection. Yes sack and pressure is more important. But what about their run block grades for the OLs?
the move to put tyree wilson inside definitely helped him out, he was not getting any pressure the first half if the year. but he also didnt really practice before the season
Jalen Carter was cracked can’t wait to see more of him
Gb drafted LVN the same way they did Rashan Gary. They drafted athletic freaks that were a little raw and develope them behind 2 solid starters. It worked with gary and if i have to rely on the packers ability to coach and develope LVN probably will too.
Rating anyone incomplete is a copout. Unless there is an injury early in the season.
The part that was missed by everyone but not Holmes is Gibbs is a physical every down rb that happens to have elite speed.
I think non Detroit fans still believe hes a change of pace back or a 3rd down back which is off.
15:56 had me in the first half 😂
Thank you David for drafting Bryce, giving the Bears the 1st pick is gratefully appreciate .
I love the LVN analysis. People grade him bad bc of little playing and say “he’s not good enough to start”. GB just has a process for some positions(like QB). They are treating LVN like Gary when he was a rookie. LVN was a raw prospect just like Gary, so hopefully it works out the same way. LVN did great if you put in to context of how GB wants to develop them.
Detroit wanted Devon Witherspoon. There was no doubt they were hoping Seattle would not select him.
They still wanted Gibbs by selection 18 but were wary he would still be available.
So immediately trading out with ARZ to better fortunes still getting Gibbs, then Campbell, and LaPorta.
Can you do a draft class video. As a bears fan, I’m really curious to see what you think about Caleb
Yes
Pls
This would be cool
Soon
Lions GM Brad Holmes must be by far the best general manager in the league, Teams should bring in guys from the lions staff
Just because his players were hits don’t mean he’s good😂 he still had a bad draft by taking them way to early💀
@@lethalinjection2031 How were they taken too early?? Jack Campbell maybe you can make an argument for But he was the best off ball Linebacker In the 2023 draft, And Jahmyr Gibbs Despite it being questionable AT first Has proven that he was drafted exactly where he shouldve been taken
@@lethalinjection2031Based on who opinion?? Mel kiper lol smh ..
I think the GM gets a tad too much credit. The scouting department under the GM is who I give most of the credit to. The GM does pull the trigger, but it’s based on the scouting department’s recommendations. The Lions’ scouting department is out of this world right now.
love the Broderick Jones opin.
lowest number of sacks for every o-lineman in the top 16, and the lowest grade.
what i especially liked was the lack of explaination or excuses like other linemen listed. no mention of how the Steelers QBs were awful, the OC got fired midway through the season, or Mitchell Trubisky.
cool. but i guess Paris Johnson Jnr is the second coming...
I love the way you love it.
yeah i love it too a C+ is tooootally deserving 🙄
As a Jets fan I like McDonald but we had far more pressing needs.
Texans stole the draft
When I play madden, I user Van Ness and dang he is fun to play as
Will Anderson Jr will be a force in Houston cause sky is the limit for real I believe he'll be a worthy candidate for the NFL's Defensive player of the year soon so A+ will do me fine 14:00
He was the best prospect in the draft
I’m just here to make sure people know how awesome Witherspoon is and how fun it is to watch the kid play!
u should've heard that gasp on that Cj grade lol
You should do the 2021 draft class
We will get to all the draft class over the next few months
@@FootballAnalysis1 as a lions fan, that’s hype
@@FootballAnalysis1somehow the pats always screw up the draft and specifically on offense like why did they take Thornton and Harry and why couldn’t they get a guy like Aj or dk and maybe a guy like tank tell this past draft and these guys I thought beforehand were better than who they took
Are you gonna do the rest of the draft?
As an Eagles fan, both Nolan Smith and Jalen Carter really only had like 8 or 9 games to really show anything. The second half of our season might've been the worst defensive collapse of all time in the NFL. I've never seen anything like it so i'm hoping that Carter and especially Nolan can really show us what their ceilings are next year! I do really like what Carter has shown though, reminds me a little of Jerome Brown just the ability to move the interior line even when getting blocked by 2 plus guys. Fletcher, BG, and Carter were easily the best parts of our d line last year. Hoping Nolan in a more defined role can really show his freaky athleticism.
You're tough on lineman on both sides of the ball (excluding Anderson). I believe the closer to the ball you are the more important, and more difficult your job is. Your grading speaks more to the position, and less to any personal bias. Just my opinion, I could be wrong!(dm)😂🤣
Ur right, lineman (offense and defense) usually need a little more time than other Positions as raw physical ability wont get u as far in the NFL
The closer you are to the ball the harder it is to make an impact early on
some days I wonder what could've been if the Panthers got Stroud and not Young and the Texans got Young and not Stroud. I'm not a fan of either team and I'm simply imagining and speculating what could've happened, and all I can see is the Panthers still finishing below .500 but not nearly as bad and directionless imo, hell, Frank Reich probably would've kept his job, lets face it David Tepper is the new Dan Snyder. Meanwhile, if Bryce went to Houston, I don't think he would've started right away, i think the Texans would've noticed how limited he was, give him a year to bulk up and learn the system, and while I know this sounds stupid, I would've given Davis Mills another shot with Case still as the backup. Imo, I never thought Davis was THAT bad, he plays like a 3rd rounder, and he was on some unfairly bad Texans teams that were clearly tanking for high picks, now would the Texans finish with the winning record that they did get? I don't think so. All of this is is just stupid thoughts from a Cheesehead, the reality is, Panthers dun goofed getting Bryce Young, Texans hit gold with Stroud.
Honestly, I hope Davis Mills gets another shot somewhere, especially given the QB market right now, sheesh!
Cool
As a Lions fan I am thrilled either what we got, but it will always hurt losing Witherspoon. I still think we could have gotten at least Gibbs and branch, and possibly even Laporta. No Campbell though. Witherspoon was what we thought Okudah could have been. Forbes was really disappointing. Yes, he is undersized but I liked the guy coming out. He just looked lost out there.
I shook my head in disbelief when the panthers took shorty over cj. I'm not scout but it was obvious watching their college games.
Love the insight my only comment is I'm not sure I buy the excuse that you gave with some of these guys being 22. They are all 22 ish some played well some didn't. Age and experience goes both ways
Tyree Wilson will be fine, he was coming off and injury at tech, and had a bad preseason due to it which probably affected those first half stats
Still upset the Raiders didn't take Carter.
I kinda agree with how they used B Robinson. RBs have short shelf life why run him into the ground in a rebuilding year? Limiting his carries now may give you an extra two years of elite production later
As a Texans fan, you have no idea how weird it's been to hear people say positive things about my team.
I’m still not used to it. Am I dreaming?
The seahawks under Mike McDonald are going to strike fear into the league
Bahahahaha you’re delusional, no they definitely won’t and aren’t. SEAs defensive roster is garbage and they over the cap lacking premium picks. They have the worst QB/OL and arguably running game in their division. They’re going to suck next season as the worst team in that division as they’ll be rebuilding
I’ll fully admit that I was wrong about the Lions draft class as a whole. The scouting they did was clearly elite although I still don’t love the process of taking 4 of the least valuable positions and an injured backup QB with your first 5 picks, all in day 1 or 2. But even if the process was flawed, the results are clearly unbelievable.
But the one criticism that I still think holds a lot of weight is the drafting of Jack Campbell, and I like Campbell as a player. But taking him when you already had Anzalone, Rodriguez, and Barnes at LB, and you still had Deonte Banks, Porter Jr, Myles Murphy, Nolan Smith, Calijah Kancey, Zay Flowers, and Jordan Addison on the board. To me, any of these players either have far more upside at a more valuable position, or are just flat out better than what you are getting from Campbell at a loaded non premium position.
That along with the Hooker pick kept this draft from being damn near perfect in retrospect. If they had taken Porter there, geez it woulda been unreal.
But all this is admittedly nitpicky when you’re able to grab 3 guys who look like they are among the best in the league at their position.
Man I really hope tyree Wilson has at least 6-8 sacks next year
What's more valuable? An elite pass rush win rate & above average sack numbers consistently, or someone with above average pass rush win rate but elite sack numbers consistently?
There's always a hint of subjectivity with the PFF stats, & I tend to lean more toward favoring the consistent material result while comparing production/value. I'm curious to see what other people think about this question.
In Seattle there were people freaking out in fear of taking Carter at 5. Witherspoon is great but their trenches were not good.
Congrats Jalen, good pick Eagles.
Great time to be a Texans fan
I think the issue that is commonly overlooked with the Bijan pick and the controversy over it is that Atlanta already had a young talented Runningback in Tyler Allgeier, while very much lacking in Defensive Line. With players like Jalen Carter, Lukas Van Ness, and Will McDonald IV still on the board it really makes you think what could have been.
Agreed
They should have went O line or D line
@@spidamitchell8311they signed David onyemata who produced as good as Jalen Carter. Atlanta lacked tds big time. And are a running team. You've got to have two decent backs and Atlanta would of only had one going into this year Tyler Allgeier. Bijan was huge in their offense. Scored the most tds. Second in catches etc
Everyone: "You can't draft a RB in 1st round."
Lions: "We didn't. We drafted a WEAPON."
Everyone: "What???"
Lions: "What?"
Bijan Robinson is really special of a player he's going to be really really something in Atlanta if you give him the ball he will get you either 1st Downs or Touchdowns to help you win games 9:45
Young over stroud is crazy!
Jalen Carter deserves an A+ cause he's gonna be a absolute beast at stopping the run as long as he stays healthy and stays strong he'll be all well and good for sure 8:40
unless he kills someone cause hes bat shit crazy
Honestly C.J.Stroud should have been drafted 1st overall instead of Bryce Young no offense 17:10
Paris Johnson was a little better than that. Especially down the stretch. He also never played RT, took awhile to settle in. Hopefully he’s moved back to LT this year
That lucas van ness grade after the jalen carter and will mcdonald grades is something. Oh he played amazingly when he was in - and played comparative amounts of time with higher or equal impact to the other two? Nah incomplete grade he was drafted in the first round. Uh what?
If Bijan was on any other team with any other coach, he’s runner up or getting rookie of the year, and that’s coming from a falcons fan
