My Draft Grade

[BOLDnPurPnBlacK]

Here it is then

Pick 1

Breshard Perriman D ( Or A)

Here's the deal. He is without question the biggest boom or bust guy in the 1st round. He could really be an exceptional talent or he could just be one of many combine warrior flops. He is the biggest wildcard in this draft..thats how risky he is. He has the potential to prove me wrong and i wouldn't be shocked if he did. BUT having said that its the first round and he's not shown polish or safe hands to justify a first round grade. if we took him in the 2nd this would be a different story..this isn't a matt elam who i knew had no shot at even being ''good''. Perrimen could be anything from Julio to Heyward Bey.

Pick 2

Maxx Williams A +

Pretty much the perfect tight end in the making. Does it all. Runs perfect routes..exceptional hands and catch radius and clutch. Good blocker and will only get better. A go to target. Best pick of the draft and a franchise tight end for many years to come.

Pick 3

Carl Davis B

The value is there. If he had been picked in early rounds i'd have given this a D-E grade. His biggest issue is technique and motor. Thats not a small thing. He has the potential to be a solid starter. Can he be an elite level player? I don't know..a motor is important to be that.

Pick 4

Za,darius Smith A

Terrific value and an all-round talent with excellent measurable. Sets a mean edge and can rush the passer. Tough and with a mean streak. Could be an upgrade over upshaw. His pass rush is decent and he can move around the line well.

Pick 4

Joviorious Allen C+

Solid..fills a hole..nothing special. Serviceable and can catch out of the backfield.

Pick 4

tray walker N/A

no idea..unless he's one of those best kept secrets that was destined to be picked at any moment after us i don't see great value here..there were a lot of options

Pick 5

nick Boyle F

A wasted pick. You can find guys like this in practice squads everywhere. Could have picked any tight end at this point and it wouldn't mean much. There were better players on the board. Worst pick of our draft based on need and ability plus value.

Pick 5

Robert Myers C

Seems sluggish on tape. Haven't seen enough..

pick 6

Darren Wall A-

At this stage you're lucky to find anything but solid depth. He has great measurables and that alone with a soft pair of hands make this excellent value.

Overall I give this Draft a B-. We missed out on quite a lot in the latter picks but we have 1 sure starter in Maxx and a couple of other guys who could well play their way in as starters too.

I'm giving your draft grading an F

Because you noted the selection of Carl Davis could have received a grade of E had he been select in earlier rounds.

AN E!

Im actually surprised that I didn't see you give every pick an F! But seriously, I will make a prediction now and in a few years if I am wrong, you can save this post and I'll eat crow. By year 3, Perriman will be a pro bowler and a top 8 receiver in the league.

Darren Waller: A

Waller played amazingly vs FSU and MSU to end the year. Both these teams had very good defense with good secondaries. I think GT's triple option really held Waller back, and that he could be a big contributor on the next level. 

 

Overall Grade: A

 

It was the FSU and Mississippi State game films that sold me on Waller. Smelter out with injury and Waller steps in Large in both games against high ranking teams.  Like was said, the film was scanty, but it was dang good film. This guy was a gift from the Great Raven in the Sky.
