You thought Agholor over DGB, Dorsett, Perriman...not to mention Dupree still on the board. That was easily 1 of the worst 1st rounds picks to me. Getting Rowe in the 2nd was definitely a good pick though.

Agholor is pro ready and will probably have more yards than any WR taken this year,Kelly likes those WRs who can play inside and outside .DGB has the most potential though and its interesting how he turns out.

I'm not go into poo poo the Agholor pick-- seems like a Kelly kind of guy.
That said, I was starting to admire the idea that Chip was going to make everything work with lesser talent on offense, and defer to overload talent on defense. I think his scheme is good enough to work well enough with just about anyone as long as his OL is talented, and I just don't think Agholor is a premium for him though he is a good fit.

I like the players but not when you need linemen and linebackers.
You shouldn't even think about WR's and DB's when your OLine sucks and your Dline is ok.

I just don't see how anyone could even begin to argue that Agholor was a top 20 player in this draft. I think they missed on some potentially special talent to go with a Pac-12 guy that Kelly was familiar with. Huge flaw of his in my opinion.
Of course you're right that Agholor will probably go there and put up pretty good #'s from day 1, but that will just be the system. Which is even a little more puzzling to me why you would take a guy like Agholor at 20 knowing a lot of WR's will succeed in your system (E.G. Riley Cooper).

Many teams let scouts go right after the draft - not before. Glad we have McClay

He is pro ready and DJax and Maclin aren't there any more. I'm grabbing him late in my FF draft this year.

I thought they had the worst draft of the NFC East teams. I like Rowe and Shepherd but not much else.

In terms of NFC East grades I have it....
Commanders B+
Giants C+
Cowboys C
Eagles C-
I'm grading conservatively with the Cowboys and Gregory. I have to assume his addiction or stupidity will follow him into the NFL until he proves otherwise. Otherwise it would be a B.

He seems like a lesser talent then Mathews who they got in the 2nd last year.
IMO they got a 2nd round talent in the first. He is a poor mans Maclin to me

I thought Arik Armstead was the worst pick of the 1st round with the Agholar pick being an honorable mention.
On the flip side, best pick by round, IMO....
1st - Danny Shelton, Browns
2nd - Maxx Williams, Ravens
3rd - Jaelen Strong, Texans
4th - T.J. Clemmings, Vikings
5th - Grady Jarrett, Falcons
6th - Michael Bennett, Jaguars
7th - Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, Browns

I kind of feel that way too, but with Dez and Beckham Jr. in the division, his defensive backs would have ruined his season before it even got off the ground.
That might be overstating it a tad but the NFC East WR's made him have to do something. I bet he blames missing the playoffs on his DB's after watching Dez steal his defense's lunch money.

I agree with that 7th round pick for sure... I don't know why any team wouldn't have made that pick and redshirted him.

Dupree at 22 and Brown at 32 are up there as far as best picks. I would probably give it to Brown honestly. I saw many mocks with him going as high as 9. The rest of your list is spot on.
Armstead was a bad pick, but Dorsett to the Colts didn't make much sense to me either. Not only was it a reach, but a reach at a position they had zero meed for.

I was screaming at the TV to draft Ifo in the 7th. Then again I was screaming for them to draft Jarrett, TJ and Bennett from the 3rd on lol.

Hey guys I still like to think im new to the board... but is this guy like a shtick on here??
Like "Im a cowboys fan who dosent want to sound like a blind homer shtick"
Because he is giving grades based on potential of the picks the teams took... yet he immediately decides to past judgement on a cowboys player on things not involved on the field when we should base the draft only on the talent we were able to acquire
