News: 2016 NFL Draft revisited: Grades for first-rounders three years in

[GMO415]

That's fair....I'm thankful Jerry didn't pull the trigger on Lynch

 

[Jipper]

Only because he led the league in Carries by a long shot. Only scored 7 rushing TD's and his running efficiency especially on short yardage and GL was way down. What did he have 30 yards in the playoff loss to the rams?

Rushing yards is about 10 years old when judging a RB. There are only about 4 or 5 RB's these days that get the majority of the carries for an NFL team. Not a big deal to win the rushing title in a league where most team are by committee. Its also a passing league now so many of these RB's catch a lot of passes. Total yards from scrimmage and TD's are the big ones for a RB. Are they picking up the 3rd and 4th downs and getting in at the GL.

Uh....guess who the number 1 reciever in terms of receptions was on the cowboys last year with 77....he was a beast last yesr

 

[OmerV]

LOL at this BS. they still won't grade an F. Eli Apple at 10, F-, it's easy and they still won't go there.

They gave Paxton Lynch an F

 

[funkytown]

Giants should get an F for Eli Apple. But really outside the top 6-7, that 1st round was horrible.

Do you know what his average yards on the catch? -.5 yards.

7 rushing TD's. That is pathetic. He was so bad at picking up 3rd and short and 4th and short, Dak had to start doing for the team.

Seems fair to me. A little slanted towards the sunny side to keep fan readers happy, but I agree with most of their assessments.

Grade: D- | School: Ohio State

The Giants should probably be given an F for this pick, since Apple failed to live up to his billing and was called " a cancer" by then-teammate Landon Collins late in the 2017 season before being shipped off to New Orleans ahead of the trade deadline last year. However, it's also worth noting that Apple played much better with the Saints and could be in the midst of finding himself as an NFL cornerback. We shall see

They acknowledge this. It's a good article.

What stands out to me with that list is the huge number of injuries. It seems like every other player has missed significant time. We’ve been blessed in that area with Dak and Zeke up to this point.

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

Really solid Top 8.

All are players. Usually you get a few busts inevitably in the Top 5-6.

True.

We would have been better served with quite a few other options.

incorrect, he had 77 receptions for 567 yards which is over 7 per reception....what else you got because you are again wrong.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Its crazy looking at those picks and those grades from guys you don't get to see every week. People really hyped up that Giants and Bucc's picks.

LOL...…..no its average yard of where he caught the ball is what I am talking about. He basically on average caught the ball behind the line of scrimmage. So they were all dump offs behind the line. Which shows two things.


1. Garrett and his horrid offense don't know how to use Zeke in the passing game
2. Zeke did little in the passing game but catch dump offs behind the line.

Nothing much to brag about. And certainly the 7 rushing TD's is completely pathetic when you get 390 rushes.

Try to keep up with the conversation. You wont get so confused and angry.

sorry but you continue to try and spin a narrative to devalue the impact of zeke and how well he played last year....not really sure what you are trying to prove....he led the NFL in yards, he led the team in catches, he is one of the top offensive players in the nfl....

but hey, keep trying to spin your story buddy

No, people like you just don't listen. My beef with Zeke is that he a mindless moron/non leader.

I was also not impressed by his season last year. On many many levels it was his worst season. But a guy like you that looks at yards rushing would never understand that.

And yah he is one of the top offensive players in the NFL. He is also one of the biggest idiots in the NFL. But obviously a guy like you cares nothing about how is off the field incidents and attitude affect the team.

I am also not a RB guy anymore. Paying RB's big money and drafting RB's high is NOT a way I would build and team.

And yes, I will continue to spin my views however I like them.

Why would I care if you like that or not? Its a chat room. Its all about different opinions. If you don't like that then don't come on here.
