Cole couldn’t beat out Hamlin or Rapp.

[Donuts and Doritos]

Everyone gets an F right now. I'll be more objective w/ grading in a month.

What are their expectations from their rookie draft class in their first year ?

 

Obviously it’s limited … they didn’t even trust SPVG to he the back up C today … even though he had filled that role all year ? 
 

Nice confidence booster 

[Bangarang]

Coleman in 3 games in the playoffs...3 catches on 8 targets for 22 yards and 0 TDs. 

 

It's hard to even get excited for him because his flaws are just so detrimental to him having success in this league. 

 

Bishop looked lost and was a complete liability on the field. 

 

Meanwhile, Davis is going to be 26 next season and is firmly behind Cook. 

 

It's hard to pick out a single impact player out of that group. What a pitiful draft class by Beane.

After missing several weeks during preseason and camp with a shoulder injury during his rookie season? Try again.

[Roundybout]

How do you grade SVPG an F when he saw zero playing time?

[Straight Hucklebuck]

Gotta love that 25 year old LB we took from Washington.

 

Davis was in that group of 4th Round RBs - Wright, Guerrendo, Allen and he was just as productive as them.

 

Bishop is an absolute disaster. Completely lost in coverage and in space. Also you see those 29” arms when he goes to tackle.

Best WR draft in a decade and we may have gotten … zero WR’s.

 

Unbelievable.

Exactly. 

[transient]

I’m going to give the OP an F… because I’m in a ***** mood and I feel like it.

Wanted Ladd mckonky bad.  But hey Keon was funny in an interview. Why we didn’t take two is unbelievable.

yea I’m pretty worried on Coleman being Gabe Davis 2.0…. Probably has a few big pop games where with a broken coverage plus a 50-50 ball plus a great Allen throw he’s 140 yards and 3 tds…. But then goes a month without a meaningful passing play and we talk about his great run blocking 

 

Separation is going to be hard to create and he’s just blanketed a lot of the time 

[Buffalo_Stampede]

This draft is terrible. And I’m normally very patient with grading draft classes.

6 (204): T Tylan Grable. F

 

Keon C: is exactly who we drafted - a non-separator

Cole D-: disappointing in the extreme. Totally clueless in coverage

Carter E: healthy scratch

Davis: C+ third best running back on the team

 

The other guys on day haven't really played so not fair to judge. But I liked what I saw from Solomon and Grable in pre-season.

Yeah,  I can cut Cole Bishop a little slack,  given the training camp injury and that this supposedly is a complex defense for safeties to learn. 

 

Coleman...I'm concerned.  Lack of vertical speed and separation were the knocks on him and both have been quite apparent down the stretch this year. 

 

Ray Davis looks like a pretty good player.   The rest didn't play enough.
