Mel Kiper draft grade

[nalam]

Ill grade it 3 years from now.

Exactly, we need to see if this draft was successful or not in 3 years ,if we get 2 starters out of this draft for 3-4 years, then it is a succesful draft.

This draft shows to me that he does want to run the football.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Right.

You want the pieces around so your star player can be a star.

Exactly. That wasn’t fake excitement by Micah. He knows what that type of guy will do for him.

We had three games vs. Philly and 49ers this past season. In all 3 games we held those high-octane rushing games to less than 3.6 yards per carry.

In the first Philly game, their last six rushes went for zero total yards, after the game was no longer in doubt. That's why the ypc was low. Just before that, they did stuff like this:

4	14:39	1	10	PHI 25	17	20	Miles Sanders right guard for 13 yards (tackle by Jourdan Lewis and Malik Hooker)	0.610	1.470
4	14:05	1	10	PHI 38	17	20	Miles Sanders left guard for 5 yards (tackle by Chauncey Golston)	1.470	1.600
4	13:17	2	5	PHI 43	17	20	Miles Sanders up the middle for 1 yard (tackle by Trysten Hill and Trevon Diggs)	1.600	1.020
4	12:33	3	4	PHI 44	17	20	Jalen Hurts scrambles up the middle for 5 yards (tackle by Donovan Wilson and Anthony Barr)	1.020	2.190
4	11:32	1	10	PHI 49	17	20	Boston Scott left end for 5 yards (tackle by DeMarcus Lawrence)	2.190	2.320
4	11:04	2	5	DAL 46	17	20	Jalen Hurts pass complete short right to Miles Sanders for 1 yard (tackle by Anthony Brown)	2.320	1.750
4	10:31	3	4	DAL 45	17	20	Kenneth Gainwell left guard for 5 yards (tackle by Dante Fowler)	1.750	2.920
4	9:45	1	10	DAL 40	17	20	Kenneth Gainwell left guard for 6 yards (tackle by Malik Hooker and Micah Parsons)	2.920	3.180
4	9:19	2	4	DAL 34	17	20	Jalen Hurts right end for 3 yards (tackle by Quinton Bohanna)	3.180	2.870
4	8:57	3	1	DAL 31	17	20	Jalen Hurts up the middle for 2 yards (tackle by Donovan Wilson)	2.870	3.640
4	8:17	1	10	DAL 29	17	20

In the SF game, in the two scoring drives at the end of the 3rd and beginning of the 4th that basically decided things, SF ran 15 times for 70 yards and a TD. They kept running and Dallas couldn't stop them.

I love the geniuses who every year talk about grading it 3 years from now as if they're providing something enlightening to the discussion.

Yeah, no crap you can grade it better in 3 years. Anybody can. Which is probably why you want to wait.

If I can have opinions before the draft I damn sure can have it after it.

I thought Mel {Eddie Munster}Kiper retired years ago?

ESPN made this big todo about how he made the draft what it is and had some kid who was protege who wrote a letter about being Kiper one day. Meanwhile half the 7th round was getting selected and ESPN chose not to cover the picks. All those kids families out there waiting for their name to be called and they talking about how great Kiper is. And how humble he is. But they talked about how great he was far too long for anyone who is humble. I hope he retires for good. He's a weirdo

We have been consistent and methodical in drafting and in free agency and we have been somewhat consistent in being an above average team

some would consider this a success but being consistently above average hasn’t even gotten us to a Championship game in over a quarter century.

some say that being aggressive hasn’t worked for us but I don’t recall being anywhere as aggressive as some of the other teams that have made it to the SB

Last season was an unprecedented weak NFC to have become aggressive and take advantage of it……our big splash was 15 snaps a game Hankins and “off the couch” TY Hilton.

Im ready to be merely above average and that means taking risks…..just look at what the Jets are risking for massive gain
