Draft Grades

[FordFairLane]

RD1- TJ Watt OLB Wisconsin - A
I love this pick. Watt isn't the greatest athlete but neither was JJ. And I don't even like the comparison to JJ as they play completely different positions. If I was going to compare him to someone it would be Clay Matthews. And looking at size and combine numbers TJ gets the nod as the superior athlete between them. But like Clay and JJ TJ has a never stop motor and rare core body strength. Absolutely love this pick.

RD2- JuJu Smith-Schuster WR USC - B
I do like the pick but I'm not in love with it. Lots of WR left on the board, deep class period, and not a "need". But what I do like is JuJu is a natural hand catcher, runs solid routes, knows how to compete for the football. Don't like his separation or speed. If we got him a round later I'd be much more pleased but I do think the Steelers just put Bryant and Coates on notice. Compares to Anquan Boldin.

RD3a- Cameron Sutton CB Tennessee- B
Definitely a need, and I feel Sutton will be solid, not great. I think his upside is limited but his floor is high. Not very tall, short arms, small hands, average speed just nothing pops and says elite. But decent production at a very high collegiate level. Compares to Morris Claiborne.

RD3b- James Connor RB Pitt - B
This is an interesting pick. If he can get back to his Sophomore form he could be an awesome addition to the Steelers but the pick is risky. I like the kid and will root for him I just wonder what he will be. He's definitely a Steelers type player. High character, been through more adversity than most twice his age, well spoken and respectful. Comp picks are usually a reach for the Steelers and someone that they really like. Sometimes it works sometimes they are Dri Archer. I am excited to see him in camp and hope he's 100%. Compares to Jeremy Hill

RD4- Joshua Dobbs QB Tennessee - B
Dobbs is again a high character and highly intelligent guy. Aerospace engineer who is currently building his own plane for his degree. Dobbs is intriguing as he has all the brains you want, a very good arm, nice mobility but for whatever reason he didn't "wow". Maybe it's because of his heavy school workload or maybe he's a very smart guy but not a special football player. Compares to Tyrod Taylor / Teddy Bridgewater

RD5- Brian Allen CB Utah - B+
Very athletic with A+ size. Has nimble feet, soft hands, and his receiver skills definitely show. Very raw tackling and at this point a liability if he's supposed to stop someone or support the run or bubble screen. I like the athleticism and size but can he develop enough to make the 53 man? He's going to have to play special teams I feel to make it. Compares to Sean Smith

RD6- Colin Holba LS Louisville - F
He's a ******* long snapper. Compares to a ******* long snapper.

RD7- Keion Adams OLB Western Michigan - B
Adams is a very quick edge rusher who seems to be in the backfield all the time. He definitely will be taking a big step forward going to the NFL but he's a perfect fit for the practice squad and development rusher. Compares to Clark Haggans

Overall I give the Steelers a solid B.

 

[slashsteel]

RD1- TJ Watt OLB Wisconsin - A - A player with a high ceiling, I think he is a 10+ year solid vet. If not a superstar passrusher I believe a playmaker
RD2- JuJu Smith-Schuster WR USC - B- I can see him in the slot to begin with. His ability to separate will be how his ship sails. As he seems to check off the rest of the boxes.
RD3a- Cameron Sutton CB Tennessee- B-I think the injury dropped his stock, but I think he will be a decent cover corner. We can use one of those.
RD3b- James Connor RB Pitt - B minus - I think he was picked a round early, but I like the kid and his heartwarming story. Now I hope to like his football story.
RD4- Joshua Dobbs QB Tennessee - C -Scheme + inconsistent play. = you wonder if he or anyone in this QB class....is anything more than a clipboard holder......
RD5- Brian Allen CB Utah C -Looks very raw.
RD6- Colin Holba LS Louisville -F lol longsnapper
RD7- Keion Adams OLB Western Michigan - D Small school, smalls school worries

Kind of agree with slash.

I was "okay" with day 1-2. I think the top 3 are NFL talents and have potentials for very good NFL careers. I worry about the name "Watt" being a little over valued because I thought the film was good (not great). But it was okay. Still pissed about the Dallas and Green Bay picks ahead of us in round 2 but Smith-Shuster is growing on me. He's a good prospect. Really is.

Day 3 however I hate. Everything about it. Nothing about those 4 picks say "getting better". They say getting average. When Ben retires and we're losing out in the division to Cleveland, you can damn well be ready for me to remind everyone "At least we have a better long snapper than them". That pick and the "logic" and "philosophy" as an organization that go along with it will bother me for a while.

 

[deljzc]

Here's a draft grade for you....

Cleveland gets an A+

I don't know what the modern day record (like since free agency and the 7 round format) is for players from one draft class making the opening day roster, but I see no possible way 9 out of Cleveland's 10 picks don't make the opening day 53-man roster. And the RB they took last might make it 10 out of 10. Maybe Brantley gets suspended for his off-field incident but picking him in round 6 after picking 8 other guys that are going to make your roster seems like an okay risk (if anything you use the suspension to stash him on your roster).

I think Cleveland had a hell of a draft. And they still have 2 first and second rounders next year.

[ZonaBurgh]

Can't understand all the angst about day 3.
Odds that your #1 pick will be a pro bowler aren't that great, and odds of even being on and NFL roster after the rookie contract go down significantly for rounds 2 and on.
I think TMC has the details on all of this. Enjoy camp.......couldn't care less about a 7th round pick.

Enough of the bs sugarcoat. Outside of the top 2 picks, this draft blows dogs.

I wouldn't go that far.


Sutton has some attractive cover possibilities.
Dobbs has some interesting deep ball skills. Where he was picked isn't a huge risk, and if he can beat out Landry ? The pick would would then be worth it.
Conner has some upside. We can't short sight the effect of chemo and injury combined. The one year before that he was looking from a football perspective pretty attractive.

So I would say 5 picks I can live with. It is the other three I have little faith in.

Nah, sorry. These guys just dont do it for me, would love to be wrong but I see this as one of those drafts where we look back 5 yrs from now and just shake our heads at all the misses while being thankful for having a tackling machine like watt on the team

 

[thesteelcity]

I wish I could look into the future as so many can. We have no idea what these guys will or will not bring to the table in the next one, two, four years.

You are pissed over a 6th round LS? A CB from Middle Eastern Central Tennessee St would have given us the same value in the late 6th round, little. A back-up QB in the 4th round, who will be competing with Landry Jones? He's NOT Ben's replacement. All the players drafted are young guys going to the next level, to prove their worth and spot on a NFL roster. Some will work out, some will not. We see it every year. Let the coaches get their hands on the rooks and watch their progression. I'd rather see the grades in a year or two. What grades were AB given? Was he under sold? Vince Williams? All I'm saying is lets watch it play out. We are the AFCN Champs. I will give them the benefit of the doubt.

Sure it is always a wait and see. But will a LS have the same potential for impact as some other positions?

The last two picks for me were head scratches, Doesn't take away from what I believe to be a strong first 4 picks.

But at the same time I feel like Del.....that the team could have secured better depth than a small , not overly attractive statistical 7th round prospect from a small school and a LS they very well could have gotten after the draft.

I thought they did better last year on day 3.

I'm not a draftnick, but I promise you, the LS has as good a chance of being on this roster for a long time, as Watt does.

2017 NFL draft grades: Texans, Steelers grab high marks

Analysis: T.J. Watt was worth a first-round pick, and second-round WR JuJu Smith-Schuster could carve out a role in Pittsburgh’s powerful offense. But the key selection here could end up being fourth-round QB Joshua Dobbs. The Steelers have struggled to find a capable backup to Ben Roethlisberger and it’s possible that he could become the guy to fill in capably for a few games per season whenever Roethlisberger suffers the consequences of his rugged playing style. Grade: B+


Baltimore Ravens

Analysis: The Ravens were not bashful about focusing on their defense, devoting four picks in the opening three rounds to that side of the football. They did well. They bolstered the secondary with first-round CB Marlon Humphrey, giving GM Ozzie Newsome one of his beloved Alabama players. Third-round DE Chris Wormley was a very good value. The Ravens also added two prospective contributors at LB in second-rounder Tyus Bowser third-rounder Tim Williams, another Alabama product. Grade: B

Cincinnati Bengals

Analysis: A number of NFL teams had RB Joe Mixon off their draft boards because of the 2014 incident in which he punched a woman and broke several bones in her face. The Bengals used a second-round pick on him. Putting aside the debate of whether you’d want him representing your franchise or whether you instead believe unequivocally in second chances, the draft-related issue is whether it was prudent to use a second-rounder on a player so devalued by a significant number of other teams. First-round WR John Ross is a potential game-breaker. But some observers have concerns about his durability and it’s questionable whether the Bengals needed to use the ninth overall selection to get him. It’s possible that the Bengals transformed their offense. But, given the risks, did they maximize the value of their picks? Grade: C-

Cleveland Browns

Analysis: The Browns finally got their QB by taking DeShone Kizer with the 20th pick of the second round. Until that point, it was beginning to seem as if they were going out of their way to avoid trying to land their franchise QB, having traded the No. 2 overall choice last year that the Eagles used for Carson Wentz and then trading the 12th selection Thursday that the Texans used for Deshaun Watson. Make no mistake: The Browns got good players, and using the top overall pick on Myles Garrett was the right move. Fellow first-rounders Jabrill Peppers and David Njoku will help, and Larry Ogunjobi is a good third-round value. But you’re supposed to get good players when you possess five of the first 65 picks. The Browns needed to address their QB situation, and it’s debatable whether getting Kizer is good enough. Cleveland also used a sixth-round choice on DT Caleb Brantley, who is facing a misdemeanor battery charge for allegedly punching a woman. Grade: C+

[TMC]

The only pick I did not really like was the long-snapper. Here is how I see it.

TJ Watt-I have said all along that I think he needs a season, at least, to continue to add power to his game and then I think he takes a second season to seat in. I expect him to be ready his third season, but that time frame could accelerate. I was really shocked that he shows up to the combine with 9 pounds of muscle on his frame. That is a pile of muscle to add in a couple months. He is long, lean, athletic. He has shown the ability to bend the corner. He uses his hands so well for a guy with his experience. He has some decent pass rush moves, starting with his push/pull which is about as good as I have ever seen from a college player. He will engage blockers and keep his outside hand open, which is solid. He can cover. He is a kid on the come. Cannot argue with it. Sure, could have taken a corner, could have potentially moved down, but if the missed on Watt and took a corner, that OLB group was lacking by pick #62. I know Lawson and Rivers were there, but obviously NFL scouts did not see what everyone else did, because both slipped. I'll put the hay in the barn here.

JuJu Smith-Schuster-The only argument against JJSS is we did not need a WR in the 2nd round. Okay. I'll accept that. But, once Jones and Awuzie disappeared right in front of us, he was vastly better than any other DB left...IMO. In the draft thread, I stated unless a disaster happened, we would end up with either Awuzie or Jones. Me and my big mouth.....iceberg ahead. But, as I have said repeatedly, reminds me a great deal of Keenan Allen. Allen was 6020-208 and ran a 4.7 at a pro day on a knee that was roughly 80%. I guess he is a mid-4.5 guy, but what separates him is his hands, fearlessness across the middle, and ability to run after the catch. JJSS is 6012-215 and ran a 4.54. Good shuttle for a bigger guy, nice quickness out of his breaks. Runs through DBs and will knock your dick in the dirt as a blocker. Great hands, makes a ton of contested catches, not afraid to work inside, blocks. Just don't see the holes in his game, cannot find a reason to dislike the guy other than he isn't a DB. Was, but isn't anymore.

Cameron Sutton-was a guy I mentioned in the draft thread. Plays faster than he times. Shows good quickness to follow receivers through breaks. I think he could see early minutes in the slot over smaller WRs. He is a more athletic version of Gay. He has played man. He has played zone. Versatile kid. Played inside and outside. He'll hit you too. I think Mike Mayock had him in the 70s in his top 100, ahead of Rasul Douglas, Teez Tabor, and several others. Steelers were definitely interested and at one point, thought he might be our pick at #62. There is a lot to like about his game. I think he was overlooked because he was a 4-year starter at Tennessee and a lot of people were really high on him coming out last year. He stayed in, was swallowed up by a great corner class.

James Conner-In the last 5 years, 4 quaterbacks have been named ACC player of the year. Only 1 RB has. It wasn't Dalvin Cook. It wasn't Wayne Gallman. It wasn't the pair of RBs that were drafted from UNC. It was Conner after his 1700 yard sophomore season. He broke Tony Dorsett's bowl rushing record. Has some quickness to him, jump cuts some, but what I really like is he will drop his pads and pop your ***. He isn't afraid to take a hit. Better hands out of the backfield than I originally though he had. I think he is very similar to Bell in the aspect that Bell had a final season that was less than the year before and you draft them hoping you get back to that guy. Still, nice back. Good kid. Really infectious personality, just want to be around the guy. Coaches, doctors, teammates, all seem to gravitate to him. One thing I thought about, we have watched Harrison kind of soften up in the past couple seasons, work with some of the young guys, be more friendly to them, kind of take some under his wing. I think, as guys get older and the years dwindle, they like the locker room and camaraderie more than the game. I think being around a guy like Conner is the type of thing that would make Ben want to stay a year or two longer, especially when you have a line to keep him upright and weapons laying all over the place. And, now they do. So, I'm good with this pick too.

Josh Dobbs-I thought he might be a consideration with the 2nd-3rd round pick. I really did. I knew they liked him. And, if you watched him closely enough, you might too. On the whiteboard, he picks up plays quickly and when he spits it back, verbage is just like it was told to him. He understands defenses and progressions, how his progressions change as the defensive look changes. He won't be one to not know the playbook. I think when he keeps his feet under him, throws with good mechanics, he is a really solid passer. Nice arm. Good accuracy. I would state watch some film and count how many times he hits WRs from their knees to shoulders and they don't have to lunge or reach back, hits them in stride. Count them. It is a lot. When his mechanics break down, he can spray some passes, usually happens when the OL decides to fold, which can come at any time. He will start moving around more, lose it a little. But, really like the way he reads through progressions. He had a lot of dropped passes, only two weapons Kamara and Malone. Bad offensive line. Almost felt sorry for him. Started a lot of games. If you told me I could have Dobbs in the 4th over any other QB at any other spot where they were drafted, I would have made that deal a month ago.

Brian Allen-I just knew someone would grab him. In the draft thread, think I mentioned him with Myrick. He is raw, lots of tools though. He can run. He will mirror guys. I think he is an edge, but I could see him walking down on TEs with his length and aggressive nature. When the ball is in the air, it is his. Dude chases it like a WR, tracks the ball well, excellent ball skills. Willing tackler. Willing in run support. So tall, does not have great COD, but as an edge, you can probably get by without it. Heard the comparison to Ike, I see that. I think the 5th down, these are the guys you should go after, athletic players that need coaching but have ALL the physical traits to become starters.

Colin Holba-better be the best damn long snapper we ever saw. WTF?

Keion Adams-like Allen, great athlete for the position. IIRC, he ran a 4.70 forty, good COD, benched 225-27 times, VJ of 36", BJ of 10'4" for a KEI of 74. Good size, could be a touch taller, but that is being picky. On film, he bends the edge so nice, just a natural at it. I love the way he lowers that inside shoulder, especially as a ROLB, flattens that back, and then comes off the ground like a monster. So good at it. I mean, on some film, you see the LT get his kick slide and right about the time he goes to shoot that hand, the shoulder disappears and goes to the ground, forcing the OT to try and hits his back, game over. No way he is going to put his hand in the back and knock him off that arc. He finishes too. High motor, tenacious, just keeps coming. I like this pick, another guy that could pay big dividends if the coaches can get him moving in the right direction. Love to see him use his hands better and develop more pass rush moves. He is raw, but he has a natural edge talent. Big reason WM went 13-0.

The only guy I don't like is the one that snaps the damn ball.

 

[ark steel]

Wasn't a fan of the 2, 3b, 4 or 6 picks.

No idea why anyone would give a D grade for a 7th round pick unless it is a P, K or LS. The idea that someone else is 3 grades better and still on the board seems silly. Anyone better, at all, seems narrow with regards to how much better. Intellectual masturbation.

No idea why anyone would take a LS in the 6th, even if yours quit the day before the draft. It is a headscratcher. In the end, whoever else we picked would be lucky to make the roster, I guess.

For juju, I didn't look, but will take TMCs word for it that there was no one worth that spot at the OLB or CB spot. I wish we could have had someone take our 2, 3b and 4 (or 5) and moved up in the 2nd. I'd rather have one of those DBs, I think, but it doesn't appear as if juju or Conner suck. Dobbs may be an OK backup in the future, but I'd have risked not taking him.

 

[ark steel]

Instead of conner, I'd take bekwith, maybe Thompson. Instead of Dobbs, I'd take either, butt, king, elder or Leggett. In that order.

 

[Spike]

I think Cleveland had a hell of a draft. And they still have 2 first and second rounders next year.

Browns SUCK at drafting! I predict 1-15 again

The STILL don't have a starting QB and ZERO impact WR's or RB's!

DRAFT FAIL F-

 

[TDX27]

The Browns got some major talent again in a draft. BUT, and it's a BIG BUT, they can ruin even the best of players. So, we shall see if they ever get any better.

 

[Litos]

after TMC's analysis is hard to add anything more but I'll grade it in a different view: Impact instead of rounds.

- Instant Impact:
- Juju S will be the rookie with more participation of the group as he is in the Ward mold but bigger, that can only improve his chances of being succesful. Chain mover and red zone threat.
- Cam Sutton has a lot ef experience and ability to play muktiple schemes so we can expect to see him get minutes here and there. Also can doom Ayers chances to make the team as a PR (unfortunately). I thought he was an early 3rd in a deep class, probably a 2nd rounder any other year.
- James Conner: as already been said he can be a 3 down runner and with Bell's injury troubles it would be great if could get some rest, Conner is a plug & play player that is a local fan favorite.

- Future impact
- Allen CB, just as Adams OLB are both athletic specimens that need coaching plus time and have the chance to become very good players, great late picks. I like to see them as 5th and 6th round pciks while the LS was the 7th rounder
- Dobbs QB has the smarts and the arm, he also is an athlete and can be a run threat. Needs time and we have a lot of it. I didn't want a QB but at least this was a late 4th and he has upside

FInally the #1 pick who is both an instant impact player due to his football smarts and abilities while also having a very high ceiling. He needs a year to muscle up but he can play some in his rookie season and is great pick any way you want to see it.

 

[Hypocycloids]

Here's a draft grade for you....

Cleveland gets an A+

I don't know what the modern day record (like since free agency and the 7 round format) is for players from one draft class making the opening day roster, but I see no possible way 9 out of Cleveland's 10 picks don't make the opening day 53-man roster. And the RB they took last might make it 10 out of 10. Maybe Brantley gets suspended for his off-field incident but picking him in round 6 after picking 8 other guys that are going to make your roster seems like an okay risk (if anything you use the suspension to stash him on your roster).

I think Cleveland had a hell of a draft. And they still have 2 first and second rounders next year.

But Cleveland gets an A+ every year.

 

[Stlrs4Life]

I guess I'm the only one that the LS pick doesn't bother. LS is a more important position than you think. Warren is getting up there in age, and not just anybody can step in and do it.

 

[chipped ham]

While I would've probably waited to take the LS, you are absolutely right. All anyone needs to remember is when Silverback snapped the football into the Ohio River against the giants in '08.

The fact any person would give any team an A+ is laughable. It's the Browns, the least talented roster in the NFL. And you're getting excited because you think 8 guys they drafted will make their roster lol

 

[fogdoctor]

I think we did OK. Probably a C+ overall weighted heavily on rounds 1 and 2. Watt and Schuster will be solid contributors, with Connor making his name on special teams.

RD1- TJ Watt OLB Wisconsin (B) Obvious pick. Should be a solid player with good upside.

RD2- JuJu Smith-Schuster WR USC (C) Truly like the player but I do not understand the pick. This is either preparation for one of our WRs hitting the road or we are going to throw 70 times a game.

RD3a- Cameron Sutton CB Tennessee (C) We play a lot of zone and need our DB to pick up some run support. Those are things that I think he does poorly. Since I would not come with a better pick I thought it was fine.

RD3b- James Connor RB Pitt (C) Should be a special teams hammer and I like the story. Don't see him as an NFL RB unless he gets quite a bit quicker. Still, it does not hurt to have a legit bruiser on the roster.

RD4- Joshua Dobbs QB Tennessee (A+) Because I still hate the Landry Jones pick that much and not because I think Dobbs is great. Thinking rationally, probably a C. We need a backup and Dobbs will be fine and could have some upside. I like his physical skills and is book smart, however, he does some dumb crap on the football field.

RD5- Brian Allen CB Utah (C) The yearly height, weight, speed, strength developmental practice squad pick. Doubt we see anything from him until they decide what to do with him because NO WAY he is an NFL DB IMO. Not sure if he has a position other than safety but he has physical skills that were worth a 5th.

RD6- Colin Holba LS Louisville - (F-) WTF????? Unless Warren is retiring or getting cut then this is just a necessary evil and we get a C.

RD7- Keion Adams OLB Western Michigan - (B) This is my pick for the late round pick that will stick and be a starter or trade bait in 3 years.
