Classy move to not grade Gladney. He was a human who had flaws but still a super young guy. RIP

The “Replay” of the kneel at 3:53 💀

The Jordan Love pick was clowned so hard for so long. I'm not even a Packers fan but I'm so happy that he played so well, just so it would prove everyone wrong

I really appreciate how much you show to players that passed away. Big respect

I dont think the packers would've gotten a superbowl if they obtained Tee Higgens based on the fact that everysingle playoff game was either the fault of the defense, special teams, or aaron choking on his shit again. sincerely, a packers fan

Rip Jeff Gladney man💜

Running the same highlight of a kneel down should tell you all you need to know about a first round pick. That’s wild.

im a packers diehard fan and i was without a franchise qb for about half a year, after having 30years of 2 HoF guys. Those 6 months were awful. cant imagine how other teams feel all the time! Love your Videos Mr. Analysis

WAKE UP NEW FOOTBALL ANALYSIS DROPPED

Another great video. It shows a lot about what sort of person and creator you are whenever you address tricky situations like Ruggs or Gladney.

Love the content, didn't even know you were a Vikings fan originially just loved the content. And it's great to see you are very fair with the Packers and others. Keep up the phenomenal work!

Football Analysis, You're amazing! I hit the like button as soon as I saw it!

Was on the couch wit family while we watched CD get picked at 17. Fell in love with the pick then, and 4 years later, he has been outstanding💪🏽

Totally agree with the Jordan Love grade. It’s not quite an A+ yet but if the QB you drafted throws 30 TDs in their first year starting I’d say that’s a hit. Not only that but he won a playoff game. He wasn’t a game manager either he DOMINATED Dallas

Used the code! Watch you every day on lunch!!

As a packers fan, our issues in 2020 and 2021 all came down to defense and special teams. If we didn’t pick love, we probably would’ve picked Patrick queen or some other defensive player before tee Higgins. Packers never draft offense in the first round unless it’s a tackle or qb.

That F Grade for Damon Arnette is wayyyyyy too high for him.

Mad respect for the way you handled the Vikings pick. One of the many reasons I love your content

Justin Jefferson's 2023 year was astounding in which he'd won NFL's Offensive player of the year👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 14:08

I think we need a video on how good is Patrick Queen actually?

Goat football channel

Eagles' fan here. When it was time for our pick, i was sure we were talking JJ. I couldn't believe we passed on him.

The Reagor pick still keeps me up at night.

Crazy how much talent was in that 2020 draft. Only then to be comped with the number of 'relative' busts in the 2021 draft

9:44 ever since someone pointed out to me that Aiyuk looks like Mike Tomlin i just cannot unsee it.

very classy, props to you man

I was so happy when we got love, caught hell for it but got the last laugh 😂

Rip Jeff

As a birds fan the Raegor pick haunts my dreams

Shoulda used the 4th and 18 catch vs the bills in 2022 for Jj's footage

Those numbers tells ya why he's unstoppable in 2023 he's awesome undeniable too 20:33

The end of the first round is rough

Very good reasoning on Jordan Love. I was going B+. It is not Love's fault but he has to show more than one good year for a higher grade. Grade aside, today as I type I am happy my team does not have a gigantic ? at QB. Lookin' at you Bears.

Everytime you wear a legitimate legendary #88 in NFL's History it reminds you of Tony Gonzalez with Kansas City Lynn Swann with Pittsburgh Marvin Harrison with the Colts Michael Irvin and Drew Pearson with Cowboys plain and simple 21:08

Jordon Love had half a good year after three years of basically not playing. I think we need a bigger sample size before we can crown him the next great packers QB. Although with how he threw away that playoff game when it mattered the most, he might very well be the next great packers QB.

9:12 -- The thing with this (other than the question of how much Tee Higgins would have helped anyway given Rodgers' known tendencies with rookie receivers) is that I'm not at all sure that Higgins at 30 was ever a real consideration for the Packers. He just doesn't fit the model of player they like to draft, especially with premium picks (Higgins' RAS was a full point lower than the lowest RAS for any player BG has taken before Day 3). So I think the question one has to ask is, if taking Tee Higgins at 30 was off the table regardless, does the rest of the idea still hold true? I think it gets a lot murkier for sure.

Texans rebuild video when?

What time is it

Jalen Reagor 🤭

Respect the Jeff gladney spot. Was really expecting a bad grade prefaced by “no disrespect to the passed but” good shit

Justin Jefferson he's no question about it a real bonafide superstar for real he's electrifying of a player with speed his hands his swagger to the game especially his touchdown dance let's be honest Jefferson is and will be a future hall of famer soon but not now as long as he can stay healthy stay fully strong and positive he will be even better for sure I'm hoping that he wins a Super Bowl Ring cause he's very special 1st Round 22nd overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft out of LSU he's a national champion but he deserves an A+ I'd love watching him do what he does best on the field👍🏽💪🏽 13:33

I love what the packeds did this off season, but i am so shocked they didnt snag queen . Xavier mckinney and Patrick queen .....man talk about a 180 turn for our defense.

I wondered same thing about why did the chiefs Clyde over taylor back then too .

I love Tee higgins but i dont think he would have saved greenbay, the defense and speical teams killed us. Hoping Hafley helps make that defense formidable

As a packers fan I need to see a few more years with Jordan. Cause he could easily have a slump this coming up season, but the year after he could have a come back season and be better then he was this year. But it I had to to grade it I would grade Jordan Love I would say a B I need to see that he can do it again or do it better.

Don’t remind me of that reagor pick. Even at the time I knew we made a horrible mistake still no idea why we drafted him even at the time everyone knew it was a huge mistake. It was another example of howie thinking he’s the smartest guy in the room

what about queen being in Pitt makes you think he wont do as well?

Yes Indeed A+ for JJ18 14:58

Fair evaluations. The problem with not using a differentiator like A++, is, for example, equating Lamb with Jefferson.

As long as Jordan Love gets better year in and year out he will be the best QB in Green Bay so let's hope for the better he'll be all right 9:40

Drafting a QB in the back half of the first round who wins you a playoff game against the Cowboys honestly might just be an A+ no matter what, especially in terms of value. The Tee Higgins "what if" seems like too much hypothesizing

Lmao look at how Jonathan greenard demolishes trevor penning at 11:27

JORDAN LOVE

Please comment on the Packers trading up to get Jordan Love. The GB GM, Brian Gutenkunst traded picks #30 & #136 to get JL at #26. IMO, that was done more to send a message to Aaron Rodgers - this is your replacement. I suspect that GB could have gotten JL at #30 without trading up.

Time stamps would help a lot

with jordan love, everyone says that the packers should have drafted tee higgins bc then they’d have a super bowl ring, but then assuming everything plays out exactly as it did aside from the packers winning the super bowl, the packers likely would have been stuck with will levis last year, since they had aaron rodgers until the draft last year. i think that u much rather would have jordan over will, and thus my logic is drafting jordan is better than tee higgins

I hated the Jordyn Brooks pick when it happened. I think a B- is a bit to high for an average at best lienacker in the first round

I agree with most, but I do think you need an A++ for people like Jefferson. Because IMO Aiyuk deserves an A+.

Rodgers was coming off a down year for his standards and it seemed like he was slated for a big decline.

Reagor will go down as the worst pick in Eagles history not because he sucked so bad, but they passed on a future hall of famer the next pick in Jefferson.

I knew when the packers picked Jordan love the packers weren’t going to make a dope bowl with Rodgers. He has to be an a+ but it set them back years.

Packers dont win a super bowl with tee higgins. We had other issues in the playoffs beyond WR. Love was the right pick.

I told all my friends Jordan love would be good eventually when Aaron left and they clowned me.

leave it to my raiders to draft the felons, busts, and everything in between SMH💀

CeeDee Lamb is truly a bonafide phenomenal player for the Cowboys without a doubt he's a special player one of a kind player who will do whatever it takes to be winning games make no mistake about it if he wins a Super Bowl Ring soon very soon I believe he'll be a Hall Of Famer soon too 1st Round 17th overall of a pick Oklahoma 2023 was one of the BEST if not the greatest year in franchise history he's broken Michael Irvin's records for Receptions and Receiving Yards so yes he deserves an A+ grade I love watching him play with so much confidences swagger and consistency as well 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 19:42

Even if the raiders picked justin jefferson, ik they would have screwed that up🤣

People are saying how the raiders drafted 2 first round busts, or how the eagles messed up on drafting a bust receiver over a generational one, but no one talks about the titans using their first to draft someone who only played 4 snaps and then was out of the league

Joe Burrow: A+ Chase Young: B- Jeff Okudah: D- Andrew Thomas: A+ Tua Tagovailoa: A- Justin Herbert: A+ Derrick Brown: A Isaiah Simmons: D+ C. J.

Lotta what is for the love pick lol

Switch phillys first and second round picks and reagor is still a bad pick 😂🥲

Jesus, the second half of this first round was not good. WRs are a major exception but wow!

Trevor Penn is going to be a solid tackle

Rip jeff

Packers fan here, largely agree with the grade. A- unless he repeats his last 9-10 games from last season for a full season, then A+ for sure. Buuuut, I also want to say “aren’t we grading on a curve here?” For example we can speculate, in hindsight, that if the Packers took Higgins they go to a Super Bowl. But we can also say that Jettas hasn’t helped the Vikings get any closer to a Super Bowl and if they drafted Love maybe they aren’t wondering who is going to throw the ball for the next 10+ years. Is lowering your window for Super Bowl for 2-3 years worth opening it for 10-15? I just feel like if “getting you closer to a Super Bowl” is the scale then we should be giving 80% or more picks an “F”. Love your videos btw. I only say this because I think you’ve made a channel that can handle conversation.

jefferson and lamb are like 1a and 1b. no arguing these were both home runs of picks

Jordan Love legit ngl

Don’t overthink the Love pick it’s an A+ bringing up 1 playoff game where Aaron shit the bed doesn’t change it also blocked punt

Tee HIggins was NEVER on the packers board. NEVER!!! He did not test the way he would have needed to for the packers to take him first round. Please at least do your research before spreading misinformation. Also the Pack were 1 David Bahktiari away from the SB not a WR.

IVE BEEN SAYING THE CHIEFS SHOULD’VE DRAFTED TAYLOR OVER CEH SIXNE DRAFT DAY BRO

Dude I thought the 2020 class was gonna be the deepest of all time. Good draft class but my dumbass can’t be expecting everybody to be a star

Justin Jefferson is the reason I'm a Vikings fan

Who in your opinion is the best #88 in Dallas Cowboys history? CD Lamb Michael Irvin Drew Pearson Dez Bryant

CEH hip injury vs the saints his rookie year ruined his career

I am curious about how you personally view the concept of "bust" and how much weighting you put into situation, overdrafting, medical issues and other circumstances outside the player's control that can help determine their fate you might be inclined to give. Is the concept of "bust" actually unhelpful given that someone who has the reputation of being one, lets say Sam Darnold, is still going to have a solid career as a Back-up? Presumably "bust" should just be someone who doesn't last the rookie phase of their career, regardless of whether they are still with the same team that drafted them and they don't have a really good reason why not. I just find it an uncomfortable idea. Maybe it is just a combination of being a girl and how I was raised, but being my inclination is always to be fair to those who didn't do well for reasons outside their control or to acknowledge reaches. I think I'd rather go with something like this: * Elite * Reliable Starter (anyone graded B) * Overdrafted - average or below average player who would have been fine taken on Day 2 or Day 3 but will still fulfill a squad role (anyone you grade in the C or D tier) * Reliable Back-up - someone whose role is to support others and is really good at that job and in whose hands you aren't scared to trust your team if you have to (Tyrod Taylor) * Unreliable Starter with Caveat - a player who had potential but ended up in a situation that destroyed their development and they failed as a result OR that they suffered some understandable issue we should be totally sympathetic to because they couldn't help whatever went wrong. Basically that comes down to chronic injuries, serious illness or mental health crisis that prevents someone from completing a rookie contract (the guys graded Incomplete and some guys graded F). * Practice Squad - it's still a career in football * Bust - undeniable failure due to moral torpitude (Henry Ruggs), disinclination to play, simply not being good enough (Alex Leatherwood) or some other factor the player themselves could have done something about (Jamarcus Russell). To me it really does need to be either not enough talent so you shouldn't have been there, or something you were in-control of yourself and you didn't work hard enough at to rectify.

Thank you for your acknowledgement of Lamb being under appreciated. Speak that louder for the people on the back.

Respect for not grading Gladney. May he rest in peace

Don’t mention Isaiah Wilson’s name again this pick set the titans back a while

aiyuk to packers

Stop drafting rbs early Recent rbs who declined after the rookie contract or into the 2nd contract Zeke Gurley Ronald jones Zeke Ajayi Cook and many others Just take a Rn round 2/3 or later

Jalen Reagor was not in the SEC dawg…

The cure to my hangover

Man, I like the grades mostly but some of your opinions/and reasoning is so wildly off. Patrick Queen was starting to excel before Roquan Got to the Ravens. It’s clear to me you weren’t paying close enough attention to him implying he won’t be able to live up to 2023 Patrick Queen. His success is his. Attributing it so heavily to the Smith arrival is kinda disrespectful. And the Aiyuk trade talk is nonsense. No one is giving a 1st round pick for Aiyuk as good as he is Tyreek Hill in his absolute prime only got the 29th pick (an incredibly late 1st rounder. Along with 2nd 2 4ths and a 6th)

Raiders nations

Completely disagree with the Teehigens packer superbowl take. If you know anything about Rodgers then you know he doesnt trust rookie wrs. Rodgers would have choked again in the playoffs. Love is the future

Thank god the Chiefs didn’t take Taylor in the 2024 draft if that happened we are talking about Mahomes getting his fifth superbowl because they would have beaten the Bucs if they had Taylor

i think your vikings bias showed a tiny bit with your Love grade but credit for not being a homer

3 good WRs and a whole bunch of whiffs

Why not start with this instead and go 32-1 instead of 16-1, 32-17

There is no guarentee the Packers win a SB with Tee Higgins. They may win the NFCCG, but not the SB.
