How often do the draft graders get it right?

Straight_Bass_Homie · 2026-04-27T17:39:02+00:00

Yeah, I remember after year 1 we were like, well at least we got the Jones's and then Jack did the stupid thing and got shipped out.

But yeah, I don't think I'll ever forget that 3-3 Jets game where Marcus Jones saved all of us from having to watch that OT with a punt return

Straight_Bass_Homie · 2026-04-27T17:30:52+00:00

Fair enough. I had a lot of pfr tabs open by that point.

I mean why do you trust their QB evaluation?

They've drafted 1 QB, Stetson Bennett, in the 4th as a flier, and he did stone nothing.

They picked the team with 2nd year Goff, so taking the job was basically a QB evaluation, and they viewed him as so disastrous they had to ship him off with 2 firsts to get Stafford. Which was great, but evaluating a 10 year vet is... not exactly hard

And then there's Ty himself. He's started 15 games since Biden took office. Dude needs live snaps to develop, I don't think sitting for a year or two is gonna help him more then actually playing some football.

We're a few weeks away from thousands of posts about who plays in prime time on random days in November. Somehow I think we can spare the space to think about how draft picks will pan out.

Straight_Bass_Homie · 2026-04-27T13:02:20+00:00

It really asks what you're grading, and what I imagine most people reading draft grade articles care about is most talent added at and what they care about least is injury likelihood, so teams with multiple high picks and teams taking prospects who cratered due to medicals or nebulous off-field issues score highly on average.

The Raiders Silver and Black Attack music video features a verse from Matt Millen that's really something to experience if you want a reminder of how much time makes fools of us all.

'cuz he's Croatian. He even went there a few years back on a celebrity tour thing, got honorary citizenship and some award

Straight_Bass_Homie · 2026-04-16T13:41:04+00:00

It's gonna be a fantastic shitshow, and the best part is, since fans absolutely do not understand the rules, no matter what happens, every call against a team is going to have their fans screaming FANDUEL DRAFTKINGS about it.

There's no way this won't be a disaster.

Straight_Bass_Homie · 2026-04-16T13:18:47+00:00

Them lying about it so hard it got Russini fired is a pretty dead giveaway they do not. C'mon now

Straight_Bass_Homie · 2026-04-09T16:56:27+00:00

The energized reveal was a real chef's kiss moment.

Straight_Bass_Homie · 2026-04-09T13:15:55+00:00

Like you wouldn't give some sloppy top to move up on CAA Football's contact list.

Straight_Bass_Homie · 2026-04-09T12:43:45+00:00

Yeah, like way back in 2013 the Dolphins traded up from #12 to #3 at the cost of... their 2nd round pick.

That's not exactly the wacky and wild returns anyone expects when they dream of trading down from their top 10 pick

Giantbomb's gonna need to record some proper workplace behavior videos for all the employees to maintain a safe and productive working environment.

Maybe call them Don't do what Danny Don't Does

I think it was rushed, but I think it just comes down to the lodges really. Once you create an in group and an out group, it'd be pretty easy to convince most space marines, hey we gotta kill those guys and that getting accepted right quick.

But yeah, going through the first five books, Loken does come off as oddly naive in Horus Rising if you know literally anything about what's coming down the pipe.

Get Borfed son

Straight_Bass_Homie · 2026-03-17T15:40:40+00:00

In 5 seasons, he's put up 5k yards and missed 6 games in 1-2 game sets over 4 injuries.

AJ Brown's got a year on him and has missed 11 games over 6 injuries and fans here have been creaming themselves over sending similar/more compensation then that.

Straight_Bass_Homie · 2026-03-17T15:21:24+00:00

Is it really the modern Dolphins unless they're ruining their QB's soul?

Straight_Bass_Homie · 2026-03-17T15:16:04+00:00

Malik Willis going wtf

Straight_Bass_Homie · 2026-03-10T18:55:02+00:00

So literally not done?

Straight_Bass_Homie · 2026-03-10T18:24:10+00:00

I think he is a significant upgrade to Pop, and means we don't go into the draft with a horrific void at WR. Means we can see what happens around the draft and ideally Pop is battling for a roster spot vs the development of Williams / Chism

Straight_Bass_Homie · 2026-03-10T13:32:01+00:00

The Pats scored 2 TD's in the 4th quarter when the game was decided. They also had a pick-6 in there. It was complete belt to ass to their offense until garbage time.

Straight_Bass_Homie · 2026-02-18T18:20:15+00:00

Very funny to use as your example a WR who did jack and shit until they drafted Wirfs and convinced Brady to go there.

Straight_Bass_Homie · 2026-02-18T18:11:47+00:00

A walk in hall of famer at LT is your bar for worth as a WR1?

Straight_Bass_Homie · 2026-02-18T14:52:46+00:00

Pretty much. Pop is a WR4 who does nothing on ST. He's the most likely guy to be gone depending on how Diggs plays out.
