Former NFL Scout Breaks Down Who The "Winners" Of The 2024 NFL Draft Are | Pat McAfee Reacts 

His system is so insanely stupid. whatever team that had the most top 150 picks is going to be at the top lmao

Your team got a bad grade didn’t they.

It's really the dumbest possible ranking system you can think of. The only truly accurate metric of how well those drafts turned out is the future productivity of those players, but you can't do that within 15 minutes of the players being drafted, so we lose patience with it. The best "instant soup" version of a draft grade would probably be something like an average consensus draft position vs where each player was selected at. But even that is stupid because it doesn't reflect whether a player actually ends up being any good.

Yeah that only really tells you how well they did compared to how well they should have. So you look at their picks and determine what scire they should have got and then look at what they got and the difference is their score. That makes more sense

Kinda their job lol

Right?😂😂

Wrong, takes 3-5 years to figure out if the picks worked out, the grading comes from the determined value of each pick

More like 2 years.

Grades mean nothing and offer zero insight. lol

Thanks oxiclean! We thought you were just for clothes washing.

@@TrippySoul026 everyone called the 2012 Seahawks draft terrible at the time, and it became one of the greatest drafts ever. If AD Mitchell becomes a bust, then even tho everyone is saying the colts got a steal now, people won’t remember that down the line. Grades right after the draft don’t mean much

Colts had by far the best draft .

​@@123shoshan oh for sure they drafted 19 future hall of farmers or famers something like that

Yeah because there is only 150 players that are drafted, and it was also the 150 he scored no one else... this is dumb as hell.

Right any teams with two 1st round picks will always get the top grades and any teams with no 1st round picks will get the lowest

@@123shoshanugh no.

*villain.

It would be interesting if they factored in team needs and gave those points accordingly

But then you couldalso factor in the situation the person is getting dropped into like if you graded coaches on teams and then you could maybe predict the best indicators of future success of players and add that to the grade as well.

That's how I feel about your mom

@@bobblew8530 dude... do better 😂

@Tribleman247 Seriously? You know spreadsheets (at the simplest level) have a sort function, right? You sort by QB then rankings if your "situation" calls for drafting the best QB, and the highest ranked QB pops up right there at the top. Later in the draft, you just want the "best available player"? Just sort by the ranking. Both scenarios require "boiling it down to a number" before they're possible.

You were never a scout for a reason as well. His opinion is worth more than yours in regards to the NFL. Not saying it's gospel but definitely more meaningful then what you think

Or he wanted a different work life balance and make more money in media…..

@@austinjackson3986 no one knows who tf this guy is, neither do u. so relax. the grades are dumb af, like he said

Any experience is not necessarily good experience. Similar to Biden's 47 years in Congress. Thus this comment of former scout has merit.

So good at his job tv networks pay him 20x more what he was making as a scout

He hasn’t talked about him because the Bears drafted him. He hates the Bears. Well known.

Yeah, those tomatoes can be really fickle 😂. But you make a great point.

@@lornerussell3644 auto correct for the flawless victory. Grading lol

But the Cardinals did best by just having the most picks so getting the biggest number 😂

@@nicksims2827drafting a large number of high quality prospect SHOULD win you the draft. Thats what its about.

They had a damn good draft, not quite as good as the Bears, but not far behind either.

It’s coming from the same guy that gave Mahomes a terrible pre draft grade. There’s a reason he’s a former scout

Yea, silly math. Hard to judge a team when they trade a 2nd round pick to get Montez Sweat.. how are those points graded...

More accurately, how many picks within the first 150. So there is some logic to it, but it is very basic.

Isnt a draft class better the more quality players you get? I dont understand how that is a negative on the metric

By the value of a player. Not number of picks

@@benriquez615 You missed his point

Bears had terrible draft

Bears draft was weak

@@captainspartan04yea they only had 4 draft picks with 2 in the top 10 but did the worst?

Bears made 4 picks bruh😂

@@captainspartan04 Colts had by far the best draft

There’s plenty of “football for a living, not for the love of the game” type guys. It’s a profession and the real ones are known as, “football guys”.

Well in his defense he tried to give the Trey Taylor pick credit to the Bears. Unfortunately he called him Tory Taylor, and he went to the Raiders actually 😂

@@usdm420 His name is Tory Taylor, not Troy Taylor. What are you on about?

@@andrewadami3920 The Safety from Air Force that was drafted to the Raiders is TREY TAYLOR. Not Tory. Or Troy lol...even Daniel Jeremiah said his name wrong

It's not a random crap shoot. Sure, we don't KNOW who will perform, but this is about THEORIZING who will do well based on the evidence we have.

They had more than the Penix pick. They needed a QB. Could’ve gotten a younger guy like JJ to sit and learn but it makes sense. Kirk is only guaranteed cash for 2 years and they have the option to cut ties in 2026 to save significant cap

@@brendan7704 they will take a 25 million and 13 million cap hit in 26/27...thats if they cut him then (54 million if not after the 3rd year). Also forgetting the future contracts they will need to pay to keep the same cast around Penix if they do decide to play him after 2026. By the time he gets comfortable being the starter (maybe 2..3+ years)? He'll be almost 30 already while having to make a decision to sign him to a bigger contract.

​@brendan7704 they traded up for like DT6 on the board lmao they bombed it. Terrible look for the organization. Completely blew all the momentum they had

@@cry-ptoltd6832he’s 24 so he will be 27 28

Then stealing that qb is great trade capital in the near future to be honest

McCormick will start by the end of the year and is a future Pro Bowler...can't figure the DeJean drop...something behind the scenes there.

Whhhoyyyte

As they should

They should drafted 6”5/310 (35in+ arms) OT Christian Jones who’s as technically Sound as it gets n was there in the 5th despite having a late 2nd to 3rd round grade because he’s a RT only but he’s dominant. He would have fit that rebuild nicely allowing Fautanu to move inside. Woulda been absolute steal.

I'd rather have 2 Travis Kelce than 1 Justin Fields 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@Droid6689 enjoy your Cody Kessler and Nick Vannett, I’ll stick with my Joey Bosa champ

@@Droid6689@croissantCreates had a valid observation but this is just an idiotic response LOL

Tbf, it would've worked out better than Trubisky 😂

@@billsfever ok

Different GM but I'm sure you knew that😉

Yet they have no QB

I still can't believe that they gave Cousins aka Father Time that huge money.

@@brucestanley9330 doesn’t bother me it’s not my money. All I know is that my falcons have 2 good Qbs

Love what the Lions did this draft

That's what they said the last how many years

​@@Rynos8771are you trying to say they haven't drafted well the past few years?

@@zackamig4446 when u draft a CFL QB 20th nothing else matters. The 21 draft was awful. In 22 they got Pickens and?... We'll see how the picks from last year and this year turn out

@@Rynos8771 I mean 2021 they got najee and freiermuth, Kendrick green didn't work out in Pittsburgh but he started for the Texans all last year. Dan Moore while not great has started 3 years at left tackle and played well enough to get to the playoffs 2 out of his 3 years. 2022 Pickett is serviceable had a winning record in the NFL and is a high end back up. Pickens, Calvin Austin and Mark Robinson came out of that draft and have all done decent with their starts and leal is developing into a nice piece. Conner heyward has also been a really nice blocking tight end and him Austin and Robinson all play important roles on special teams. Then 2023 Broderick Jones, and Joey Porter jr which they got because they traded the bears chase claypool for the 32nd pick which was highway robbery. Keanu Benton is on his way to becoming a stud, Darnell Washington great blocking tight end and Nick herbig who is tj watts protege. So yeah I'd say they've drafted well as they always have and they smashed this years draft out of the park

@@Rynos8771 not sure what you need to see from last year's draft as jpj, Broderick, Darnell Washington and Benton all were basically full time starters half way through the season

Not even close

Top 10 I'd say.

What do you know about the Bills draft? Nothing

More than you.

@@kcnoise One thing I do know is KC fans are as obnoxious as they come.

@@ronintsukebin9163 You must have forgotten the Patriots fans during their run.
