Najee Harris is someone difficult to grade. He’s had back to back 1000 yard seasons, 14rushing TDs, 700 receiving yards and 6 receiving TDs. Plus he only has 2 fumbles ever. The only knock though is his YDS per attempt as he had 3.9 in 2021 and 3.8 in 2022. Most of that goes on the OL however a lot also goes on Najee. So I do think he is by far the best RB of the 2021 class, his team has to help him out and Najee also needs to start playing more like a powerback as his YDS per attempt is a huge red flag despite everything good he’s done
@@user-gb8vp1lf3l Like this person said, he is behind one of the worst olines and usually gets hit before he can get past them. Not to mention he's been injured this season.
I appreciate the sentiment, but we also lost Brian O'Neil and Garrett Bradburry, O'Neil being an absolute stud and just as crucial if not more than Darrisaw. We got the short end of the stick on our O-Line health and the end of the year
Miami Dolphins killed the 2021 draft with the selections of Jaylen Waddle, Jaelan Phillips, and Jovan Holland. Young Blue Chip, ascending talents that could have HOF careers.
@@samrouth432 no you don’t. My biggest quarrel with the HOF is that there is a quota they have to reach every year which means it is pretty easy to get in after a little while
Payton Turner was an awful pick. He could’ve gone in the 3rd or 4th round. I remember Mickey Loomis saying other teams were looking at him before they picked him, but I think somebody spread some rumors to bait the Saints into making a bad pick. He’s got length, but he’s a tweener. There’s good and bad to having Loomis as GM, and sometimes the bad is him buying into his hype and having the hubris to say “we know better than everybody else.” Sometimes it works out and then other times it doesn’t.
so fucking true, have of Loomis' moves are him trying to Galaxy Brain the rest of the league and it usually backfires (i.e. the draft pick swap last year)
As a commanders fan jamins improvement has been so good. I didn’t expect him to be this good this fast and honestly I still love the pick . Great video !
Just one man’s opinion, but I think these videos would be easier to follow if you went in draft order instead of reverse draft order. I like the content, either way!
It sucks seeing Payton Turner have down seasons with the injury bug this early. I’m still rooting for him due to my bias of knowing him since middle school but it’s rough seeing those career numbers so far.
As a Packers fan, we can't put too much blame on the defensive players because Joe Barry's scheme is absolute garbage. He is playing speedsters in zone coverage 10 yards off the line on 3rd and 3.
When Najee runs with the beastmode attitude like “no one can stop me,” he is legitimately u stoppable, when he throws himself at defenders he is BIG, I like to call his Derrick Henry’s son with a recessive gene of hops, it’s crazy how such a big dude can jump so good
Stokes sophomore slump is largely due to Joe Barry’s dogshit scheme. Stokes had a great rookie SZN and will hopefully comeback strong after his injury, despite Joe’s awful scheme. Can’t blame anyone on that defense for struggling in one of the worst schemes in the NFL
Payton Turner is the definition of a major reach When he was selected I was mildly shocked and not surprised he's a bust unless he somehow turns it around
The weird thing is about Najee is he gets better as the season goes. It felt his rookie season it took him a little then went off and same with his 2nd year. With better lineman and play selection I think Najee will be a big force in this offense, especially as he should get rest each game with having a great 3rd down/change of pace back in Warren.
Najee plays in a JV offense behind a talentless o-line. That said, he’s not a 3-down back bc he can’t pass block & isn’t a great receiver. That said, he’s one of the most likable guys ever & turns into Earl Campbell at times. I’m rooting for him.
He’s a pretty good receiver. He’s not like a top tier receiving back, but he has to be in the top half. He helped Ben and Kenny a lot in the last two years when our o-line gets destroyed in half a second
I always thought Buffalo had a big steal for Gregory Rousseau. He was great in Miami, and I thought he would be better in the NFL. He's showing a lot of improvement, and he's very steady
When Caleb Farley was coming out I thought he was the best CB by talent but with the injury I wouldn't draft him. Why teams keep drafting injured players I'll never know, the risk isn't worth it as the Titans found out in getting only 12 games out of him
I tried to tell people ETN wasn’t a bad pick when it was made that pick got a lot of hate but our offense needed an explosive play maker at the time in such a bad way and his ability to be a factor in the passing game made him so much more than just a RB in my eyes.
I remember arguing with my coworker about how bad I thought the Giants draft was. The highlight was him bragging Gettleman got an A for not taking Parsons and instead trading back to take Kadarious Toney because Parsons was a "mental head case" Hes a major homer and the Giants literally can't do wrong. Every choice is nothing less than the best decision the team could make. Up until it's not then it went without saying that he knew it wouldn't work. Watching him commit to the take lock of Kadarious Toney being worthy of earning snaps let alone being a teams top WR was especially satisfying. He followed it up in 2022 after the Jets had the DROY and if Breece Hall stayed healthy would have had the two top OROY by saying that wasn't an accomplishment because those picks were so obvious you couldn't miss on them when the Giants had just as draft capital and missed on essentially every pick. Shame it wasn't more obvious for them.
Yup. I'm a fervent Saints fan ... and I did not recognize the name Payton Turner. He's a ghost, a phantom, an ethereal spirit wearing a Saints uniform. Oof. Still, he may be able put it together. Maybe the loss of Davenport will give him more attention from coaches and that attention may inspire him. But .... this isn't a league known for being ... patient and waiting with, as Tim Curry might say ... antici .... *PATION* ! 😉
I will never forgive Dave Gettleman for trading down with Micah Parsons there and then at 20 reaching for a receiver instead of picking Christian Darrisaw to protect his franchise QB and franchise RB. If he picks Christian Darrisaw there then the Giants pick Garrett Wilson at 7 in 2022 and we have an OROY WR instead of a third round compensatory pick from a trade. Every single fan knew what Darrisaw was the right pick there and he refused anyways.
I honestly don't understand the hype with Darrisaw. I'm not trying to hate, I just genuinely don't see it. Like his numbers may look great, but when I've watched him play, he always seems to be screwing up or getting hurt.
Payton Turner is not a D- he’s not good but he’s not a turnstile either the saints front 7 has remained sturdy af with him in there. And the way DLine get poached constantly I’m glad we drafted him
i think najee is a little high. for a first round back to be worth it, you need him to be a home run. he’s a good to very good back, but not a home run. id say B, maybe B+, but A- is too high
Oweh had to learn a new scheme in his first full offseason. He also missed part of the offseason due to surgery. So this past season was basically a second rookie year.
I do NOT miss Gruden/Mayock whiffing 1st round picks. I am soo glad they are gone. I don't watch college football but even I could have picked better 1st round players.
KT was the giants front office failing, he’s the most underrated receiver in the league. Go look up his snap count/production ratio, it’s literally the highest in nfl HISTORY. Hes averaging like a catch for 12 yards every 3 snaps he plays, for whatever reason nobody puts him on the field though it’s mind blowing fr
I don’t understand the difference in jalen Phillips (A+) and Greg Rousseau (B-) who had more sacks and similar pressures while missing 3 games with a high ankle also pretty sure Rousseau had a better run stuff grade. Farleys an F because he went in with MASSIVE injury concerns and the titans still drafted him. And darrisaw is 100% a stud from a bills fan who shut down Von miller in a year where he was playing like he was 26 again.
10:32 Caleb Farley will end up being more remembered for being the first "big name" college football player to opt out of the Covid year, and perhaps more than any other player who did opt out, it hurt him alot. The truth is that he was never a particularly technique driven player in college, he was a pure athlete who was originally recruited to Va Tech to play WR but got switched to corner because Justin Fuente couldn't recruit worth a fuck so they didn't have anyone to play corner after Mook Edwards and Adonis Alexander were both kicked off the team and/or left due to not liking Fuente (if you follow Virginia Tech football at all, it'll be pretty obvious exactly which is right in this situation). He really needed that extra year of College football to polish his technique.
I think Leatherwood can become a serviceable starter later on, possibly moving to Guard would help him. He was basically a 4th/5th round talent taken far too early by the Raiders and got 1st round expectations put on him he wasn't ready for.
why grade Kadarius only on what he accomplished on the giants. he had much more success with the chiefs. You'll see this season coming up, if healthy, he's going to go off.
Great job on the video, but one quick nitpick is that JTS was never expected to make an impact right away. His rookie year was JPP’s last in Tampa so he played limited time in a rotational role. The criticism on his game is definitely accurate though and as a Bucs fan I really hope he’ll take the next step this year
This was the era when Gruden and the Raiders only drafted players who had played in the College Football Playoff, so it makes sense they took Leatherwood
Jamin Davis needs to leave. No love or respect for any of his fans. I’ve never said a word to dude or bad about dude till now and I’m blocked because some people did say bad things. So bro thought let’s block all the fans.
he’s a good back, but the o-line has been terrible. he was also playing hurt, more than the steelers let on. i think his grade is a little high too tho, id say B.
I'd still give Farley an incomplete. He was coming off of such a devastating injury it was fair to believe he'd take a year or two to really get up to full speed. If we're in the same spot a year from now, sure low grade. But at the moment I don't think it's fair to grade anything but incomplete.
