That's pretty typical for SI. They sold out to the Arena Group a while back, and quality isn't their main priority.

Good for a laugh or two at this point: PS. C minus was the grade. Bet they would like a do over.

Ill say I don't like the logic of "Tyler Smith was a reach even if he is viewed as a long term replacement at either tackle"

Taking an LT at 24, you are gonna have to look more long term than short term. Any likely short term solution isnt making out of the top 12 most of the time. If you get a good LT in two years at 24, thats a win. Smith is quite there right now, but he is ahead of his expected trajectory

calling a 5th rounder the worst pick imo is dumb

thats a 5th rounder most flame our or at best become back up rotation players during their career

Funny how Tolbert is probably the worst pick in the top 5 rounds

i thought receivers were easier to read in college of being able to flourish and next level?......i guess no position really is except kicker....and that is not always for sure either

It's extremely odd logic to call taking a guy with Clark's pedigree with one of your three 5th round picks the worst pick of your draft. I don't care what the medical looks like. There's boom with that bust and you had two other picks in the round if you were targeting someone else.

Didn't they trash the Dak pick back in '16 and called Micah a gamble?

but Risen---- but they get paid big buciks.....i hope Tolbert makes it

Tolbert is going to make it — next year.

NFL was a big jump for him. But I suspect he'll make it in due time.

Just hasn't quite clicked for him. He has to grind and be fearless for it to work.

You can get by on finesse and genetics in college. NFL is about work, grind and attitude, which he'll need to develop.

He obviously has the tools. I doubt we're talking Noah Brown type time frame.

On this we can all agree: If Dallas is right on Smith and Tolbert alone, this class is a "hit.'' If Sam Williams comes through? It's gigantic. And if Damone Clark does as well? The "C-'' moves to as high as a grade can go.
I guess that means the grade gets moved to be A+.

Dean was one of their biggest steals of the e tire draft.

I don’t think he’s been active for many, if any, Eagles games.

Pass---you know it really is...everyone is so dang good ...that the ones that flourish Love the Grind so much and it would be such a blast to do it as long as no perma-damage occurs of course
