The first line of my favorite David Allen Coe song comes to mind when going through this draft because yes...it really WAS all that I could do to keep from cryin'.
Round 1: Lukas Van Ness DL Iowa. He's listed as a DT, he seems to me like a 3-4 DE or EDGE. At 6'5 272 he's not a DT as he played at Iowa, he's too small. I also by mid-season can't see him getting snaps at EDGE with Gary back and JJ Enagbare playing well in Gary's absence. I think he's brought in at DE. With the talent at other NEED positions left on the board I give this pick a solid C. I'm willing to wait and see before I completely unload on this pick.
Round 2 1st pick: Luke Musgrave TE Oregon State. Love the 6'5 253. What I saw of the game tape I love his ability to get lost behind a defense. What I'm not a fan of is he's coming off a knee injury and we don't know really know where he is in the recovery process. Another C
Round 2 2nd pick: Jayden Reed WR Michigan State. 5'11 187. As a Michigan and UW fan I watch a LOT of B1G football. This guy never showed up on my radar. With the talent at this position (Mims) at the time of this pick, AND it NOT being a need D.
Round 3: Tucker Kraft TE South Dakota State: This pick is perplexing at best. Either we're cleaning out the TE room which leads me to wonder what the HE!! Gutey's been doing the last few years...OR Musgrave isn't and won't be healthy for a while, which makes me wonder what the HE!! Gutey was doing in the 2nd round. I'm going C- here because a.) there might be something I'm missing and even if not b.) This may work out
Round 4 Colby Wooden DE Auburn: Watched him his whole career as an Auburn fan (Wait until you read the whole post before accusing me of a bias) and there were 4 guys from Auburn I could easily see being drafted, and as rookies stepping in and contributing and doing well....Wooden is the only 1 of the 4 we got. 6'4 273. Listed as a DE, might end up an EDGE. The only knock on Wooden I've seen watching him is he disappears. Eku Leota who went UDFA to Carolina was better at pass rush. Grade B-
Round 5 1st pick Sean Clifford QB Penn State: With this pick I'm trying to figure out if he's a plan B or a third string QB, or is he Matt Flynn 2k23. 6'2 218 so AR's size looks about 6'1 210 on game film. I'm giving this another C- due to the talent still on the board when he was drafted.
Round 5 2nd pick Dontayvion Hicks WR Virginia: 6'1 206. His scouting report reads basically 'smaller version of Christian Watson' to me. ANOTHER WR? F
Round 6 1st Pick Karl Brooks DL Bowling Green: Sorta like the size if he's gonna be inside spelling Kenny Clark...thinking room him with Clark put him on a see food diet and get him up about 15 pounds might be a helluva run stuffer. Good ball stripper. Very disruptive in the passing game. A-
Round 6 Pick 2 Anders Carlson K Auburn: The name Carlson...kicker from auburn should give ALL Packers fans the yips. His older brother when playing with the Vikings beat the Packers in OT in a game where BOTH kickers missed a total of like 9 kicks...and Anders, the one we drafted from my view point is worse than Daniel. Sorry, we coulda rode Crosby for another year. D
Round 6 pick 3 Carrington Valentine CB Kentucky: 5'11 193. His scouting report talks him up, but what I see is the best cover corner on a Defense where the QB did most of the work winning football games. D-
Round 7 Pick 1 Lew Nichols III RB Central Michigan: 5'10 220. I kinda get this pick. They realized they need the NEXT speed back My problem with this pick is McIntosh went 2 picks later and played more high level ball in college. Gonna give this a B- right position probably the wrong guy.
Round 7 Pick 2 Anthony Johnson Jr S Iowa State: 6' 205. Wait...Gutey drafted a safety? He finally really ACTUALLY drafted a Safety? IN THIS year's draft? Seems undersized, not one of the guys I saw much of in college gonna give this guy a shot C+
Round 7 Pick 3 Grant Dubose WR Charlotte: I can JUST see it now Gutey looks at LaFleur and Murph and says 'hey Rocky watch me pull a wide receiver out of my hat' and since Murph is too old and LaFleur is too young neither had the sense to say 'AGAAAAAAAAAAAIN?' Seriously 3 WR...a position we drafted 3 of last year...it's the 2020 decade's version of CB in the 2010's. 6'2 201 based on the report, he's explosive and CAN return kicks...gotta despite him being WR #3 int he class I have to give this a B-.
Overall Grade: C- with the NEEDS of this team not getting an O-Lineman is irresponsible. Waiting until the 7th round to TRY to fill the need at S irresponsible. Trading back in round 2 multiple times and getting a WR and 1 of 3 btw instead of a NEED...irresponsible. Downgrading special teams by getting possibly the worst kicker in the class...irresponsible.
Gutey's worst work since he got here. We need him to be better with that #1 pick we're gonna have in 2024.
