Grading The 2022 NFL Draft One Year Later (Picks 17-32) 

Kenny is definitely the hardest to grade. There are so many asterisks behind his rookie performance: no reps with the starters until he got thrown in, interceptions dropped by receivers, no offensive identity, youngest offense in the league, bad OC, etc.. However, what can and should be said about Pickett is how much he improved down the stretch. After his first ugly games, he started winning. Granted, against weaker competition, but he won nonetheless. He’s shown that he will put the work in, so I can’t wait to see what he does in the coming years.

Watch the end of the Raiders and Ravens games Kenny played. He passes the eye test on those game winning drives, especially the Ravens one

Back-half Pickett showed immense talent and dawg.

Love seeing someone respect Cole Strange finally

Kenny had a good rookie season, the coaches didn’t want him to do much on his own his rookie season so they significantly dumbed down the offense which made his numbers looks low but he was executing play in and play out, multiple game winning drives. He’s good

Definitely think Pickett deserves a better grade.

You should do a Final Grades video when the last player from the first round of a specific draft retires. I would love to see it.

Thanks for giving these vids every year uou don’t understand how much nfl fans love to watch these

I love this channel so much. So consistent with your content, it's great.

Kenny Pickett very much was rookie starting out. But you could see the tools there. The more he played, the better he got. He was very good down the stretch. The statistics and big plays will come in time for Kenny.

being a cowboys fan and knowing how much i hated drafting tyler smith over linderbaum. im not mad at how he played considering he played 4/5 o line positions to an above average level i feel like. respect to him

The King of 🏈Analysis Keep on Rockin!!! Thank you ✌️❤️

Glad you praised cole strange a lot, he is especially underrated with how much push he gets. He’s a perfect pairing with David andrews and although not elite, plays at a mostly consistent level. He’s very athletic as well and was easily the most fun patriots lineman to watch, considering how disappointing the line was, especially on the tackles

All of us in Pittsburgh, including the organization, know that Kenny is the next guy. Iykyk

Love the content! Keep it up!

Babe wake up new football analysis vid just dropped

I do see Pittsburgh's guy when I look at Pickett just that Matt Canada isn't a good oc and pickett barely got to throw the ball... I think the ability to make plays under pressure and have game winning drives shows that it's not long till we see him in the playoffs

Jeff Saturday: A++

i love these videos!

Would love to see a grading video looking at teams overall performance both def/off and maybe for specific positons such as gradings for starting qbs, rbs, wr, etc or a top 10 best/worst list for those positions for the most recent season just some content ideas love your stuff keep it up!

The Cole Strange pick was panned by everyone. My reaction was, "well, i know the patriots are good at drafting offensive linemen, so it's fine". I'd much rather have them take a gaurd then pick a wide reciever who turns into a bust (all high round wide recievers the patriots pick turn out to be busts).

You were pretty lenient on these ratings and then you gave Kenny pickett a C+ without a real explanation

I feel Lindenbaum always felt like a steal at 25. Really wonder why the Bengals didn't trade up for him with someone like Green Bay. Having an option to replace Bates is important, but they needed to fix O-line badly then and still do. Having a division rival get him to excel in Year 1 must sting for them.

I love this channel keep it up

Pls do the 2nd round too

Well done video brother

Dax hill went to my high school and graduated my freshman year, can’t wait to see him succeed in the league

A or Incomplete lol. I do love your breakdowns my guy

My highschool classmate George karlaftis is all rookie team and in the super bowl let's go

Quay walker has to control his temper if he wants to be a good consistent player. Getting ejected twice as a rookie is horrible

CHIEFS got two A- grades with lots of upside to come . Trading up for Trent was worth it just to see the life leave the Bills draft room and for every team that passed on George thank you

As a Ravens fan Pickett is fine. I have no fear of him though. He's a fine QB but I doubt he will ever dominate

W vid by the certified goat creator

*Devonta Wyatt also getting ejected twice for hitting opposing teams staff members. Should be included in his ranking…completely boneheaded decisions.🤦🏼‍♂️*

Cole strange with Klemm as his coach now instead of Matty P . Can’t wait to see the progression #ForeverNE

Normally I hate grading someone incomplete based on injury cuz you can atleast grade them on what they did while healthy, but in this case I think it was the right move tbh since he only played like a game in total if not maybe even less

Kenny is an amazing QB, he s our guy in Pittsburgh

As a steeler fan I hated him in college I hated him as a rookie and I fear I’ll hate him for all of time. He has no traits that lead me to believe he can be a superstar QB and that’s all that matters. I’d rather swing and miss on Zach Wilson than take a guy in Kenny Pickett who if he pans out will likely be a mid tier QB

Damn. Two A pluses for the ravens. Including the best safety in the league. Jets won the draft, and then probably the Seahawks with walker III and woolen, but the ravens were a close 3rd

Can’t have Quay acting the way he did Week 18 against the lions though…

Would you possibly do the 2nd round?

Completely overlooking walker got ejected twice for being stupid. A red flag for a rookie

honestly something i noticed in this class is lots of teams drafting for the future

Kenny's grade is terrible straight up he grew leaps and bounds in just the small sample we got of him that's a B+ grade hands down

8:30 first I can just say this he did very well our front office is just dumb and we don’t ever play our rookies for some reason

Kenny Pickett was fantastic the last 2 months. He's going to have a great Year 2.

Frustrating how the bills use a first rounder and not let him play every game like dude play him and we can see if he is good enough

Tyler smith as a cowboys fan is an A

Linderbaum is gonna be 2nd team every year that Creed Humphrey is in the AFC.

Could you do an 8 video serise grading all the draft picks for each division? That would be better imo

How do you give so many players that played similar or more snaps than Jordan Davis (some who didn't even deal with injuries), an incomplete yet give JD a C+ in your first video? Makes absolutely no sense

Kenny Pickett is a future mvp

Burke I think is a difficult grade he was injured but tell me a wideout who had a QB issue worse than Burke all season. Tannehill was injured the majority of the season and Willis couldn't even pass for 100 yards in a game. Dobbs was probably the best QB play which shows how bad Tennessee was in the passing game.

Two many incomplete grades. I understand the ones that were injured or projects, but Jermaine Johnson? Come on. He played a full season and got a lot of playing time. He's gotta have a grade.

the cowboys draft pretty well honestly

C+ for Kenny pickens..bro your high..He's no A..but He's not a c

This man sleeping on Kenny and never gave a relevant explanation

So you liked the Cowboys drafting Tlyer Smith yet show several clips of him getting beat by defenders? What about the Giants game where he ran down the sideline (faster than Zeke btw) to clear blockers for Tony Pollard? But looking back, he was a good pick and a piece to build off of

I think the ravens had one of the most underrated drafts

Don't think you should give healthy scratches or healthy limited snaps as incomplete. There is reasons why they didn't play

McDuffie had at least 3 where he made the play to get the int and it slipped through his hands so he can make the plays just needs to work on his hands and he will get some picks

The only RU-vidr to acknowledge the cole strange pick as good

be cool if mcduffie gets his 1st pick during the sb

Elam didn’t play enough and the bills front office didn’t play him for some reason even though when he played he did great

Karlaftis - B, he's not done enough to be considered an A- this early

Kenny pickett has a great rookie season what you you talking about?

Re do 2021 RDs 1 & 2 a year later. 2 years is good enough to judge a draft class

Bit to hard on kenny man , his stats are so misleading

Kennys season is a tale of two halves. He finished so strong I believe he would have won a game or two in the playoffs

Drafting development guys in 1st rd is stupid.

Charger fans SWEAR Zion was a bust lol

I don’t like these incomplete grades. If a 1st round player wasn’t able to get on the field for reasons other than an injury then they should get a grade, likely C- or worse.

cine was never going to start as hes the future replacement for harrison smith not bynum. the coverage argument doesn't matter as the whole teams coverage was bad because donatells schemes were whats wrong with a soft zone.

My team got 2 A- grades. NICE

What are your thoughts on Jaquan Brisker?

Quay Walker definitely isn't an A

I'd give Cine a fail grade since the Vikings traded back and barely got anything in return.

7:00 Take him to the parking lot!

IMO If they were healthy and weren't good enough to crack the lineup that shouldn't be incomplete, just a low grade.

Devin Lloyd was by far the best Devin that played football in the NFL in the state of Florida. AKA Devin White is one of the worst defensive players in the history of the Buccaneers,

Thanks for nothing, Steve Keim.

tf u on about with that Pickett grade, he had flashes of elite in an offense with Matt Canada at the helm. Anything less than an A- is disrespectful AF.

Hot Take: Kenny Pickett is the better qb than Brock Purdy

Chiefs rise to dominance is largely due to the incredible drafting since Andy and Veatch came along.

Elam is not worth a B should be a D+ C-

Too many incomplete grades. If they were healthy all year and just not good enough to get on the field you got to give them a grade and reassess next year. Makes the video super anticlimactic when half of them are incompletes cause they didn’t make the starting line up

C+ for Pickett ?? Clueless he was much better than that

quAy

Unfortunately, I think you were too generous across the board, and did a much worse job than you did on picks 1-16.

Pickett is a D minus. OC is triple FFF double minus. Steelers are one of the worst coached teams in the league.

Cole Strange struggled a bit when David Andrews was out. A real offensive system and a real OL coach should be the end of any worrying about that LG position for the Pats for the next 10 years.

I hate how the Chiefs gets graded the highest on the channel.
