2021 Draft Grades

[Cdn Bolt]

Not on mine. #2 CB...lol. Which board?
We got negative value OMB.

#3 on Draftek and #2 on CBS. Just goes to show how subjective ratings can be.

He was the 24th ranked prospect and #2 corner on most boards so he slipped a little.

No it isn't. It is numerical only but still shows many of the steals. Do you not think us getting Asante Samuel in the 2nd rnd a good deal?

It has Sewell as the biggest steal of the draft when the earliest he realistically would have gone was at 5. Same with Pitt though he’s further down the list. 2 top 7 picks as the biggest steals in the draft when we knew 3 QBs were going first? Trey Smith and Ojulari fell due to medical, impossible to say at this point what their actual value was amongst teams without that detailed info. Blood clots and degenerative lower leg issues can both be career ending so some teams probably had a do-not-draft value on them. It’s not completely useless but the numbers don’t tell the whole story for some guys and overinflates value early in the draft due to the higher points associated with those draft slots.

It is about where he should have gone.

That chart is meaningless. It negates medical evaluations etc.

Yep...the more I watch of McKitty, the more Topcat likes! Meow, meow!!!

McKitty sounds like a menu item @ McDonald’s in Thailand.

I really like Tre. Underutilized but great results in limited touches. QB play was an issue in his college career.
He’s going to be a fan favorite by season’s end.

FYI Here are the top 25 steals of the draft. ( The value is the draft trade value difference of where the player was expected to go vs where he fell). ie Penei Sewell was the #2 player on CBS's big board and DET nabbed him at 7.

In this type of analysis it makes sense to use consensus numbers instead of any 1 source. Still, there was some VERY high spread on value between pundits this year so averages will still be noisy.

[Topcat]

That video changes my perception some about this pick. On tape, he looks athletic, fast, and instinctive. I am sure some scouts and / or coaches was singing McKitty's praise!

I thought his plays as h-back looked intriguing. I also noticed he kept doing one-handed catches as well in the senior bowl practices which seemed very unnecessary to me. Dude secure that ball. I guess he's just trying to catch scouts' attention.

I really like his blocking potential and very active feet. I know he had a 7th round grade but his senior bowl stuff probably brought him to 5th round grade on many boards.

Good analysis there, Dragon...

It was a light bulb moment. Sometimes I'm slow to catch a thing at first.

Staley is a sponge. He's going to bring things from the Rams offense, but he also had to admire what Shanny was doing in the Bay...and he'll pull from that as well.
