Jackson graded out as one of the worst CBs in the league. That's why Pitt parted with him.

My view is that Hortiz will try to get 5 - 6 potential starters every draft and expect 1- 2 minimum. He will spend in FA carefully so as to have cap room all year for opportunities or needs that will appear.

The only way he drafts 5-6 starters is because the roster is so weak anybody'll do. He got 2 starters last year and 2 CBs who became starters due to injuries and acquitted themselves well.

Plodding offense will not work without a top notch offensive line. So far we've done nothing to improve the lot. Long ways to go, but right now we are worse off than
last year both on offense and defense. Sorry but that's just the truth.

On average, an NFL team can expect to draft roughly 1.7 players who become 5-year starters from the 7 rounds of the NFL draft, with the first round having an 83% chance of success. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Here's a more detailed breakdown: [1, 5]

• Draft Selection: Each team receives 7 picks in the NFL draft and an additional one for each 13th round pick. [1, 5]
• Player Performance: Only a small fraction of drafted players become long-term NFL starters. [1, 3]
• First Round Success: A first-round pick has about an 83% chance of becoming an NFL starter for at least half their career. [3]
• Second Round Success: The second round also has a strong chance of producing a starter. [3]
• Third and Fourth Round: Third and fourth rounds are good for finding role players, but the chance of becoming an NFL starter drops for later rounds. [3, 6]
• Later Rounds: Players selected in later rounds have a much smaller chance of becoming a starter. [3, 6]
• Undrafted Free Agents: Undrafted free agents also have a chance to become NFL starters, though their odds are lower than those drafted. [4, 7]

Generative AI is experimental.

The average draft produces 1.7 5-year starters and 2.5 3-year starters. If you are hoping for 5-6 starters per draft...don't hold your breath.

[Boltjolt]

Well...my cheat sheet is in the trash...not one guy I wanted is available...guess me and Joe arent soulmates

Bechton some people like...that is a risky signing to me.

Holding out hope Ravens release Andrews...and not even blown out of the water with that idea...but it would be a fair improvement at a position of great need.

Hours of youtube down the drain...doubt we draft anybody I fell in love with....but I was worried the free agency fix of the IOL was a dream...now Im just praying for a draft fix there, lol

Yep, was hoping for a better OL situation come draft time. Now it changes my strategy for both trenches, but we still got some time to grab a couple..

[Fleet 1]

I don't see this clear pattern you describe. Good teams, better than LAC 2024, with vet QBs are signing players.

yes - Bears, NE, NYG, Hou, Wash, Car, ?
No - Chiefs, Bengals, Bills, Ravens, Lions, Min, Bucs, Rams, Jags, Cards, Saints, Dolphins, Packers

I'm gonna puke if I read one more time "uhhhh, the foundation is built through the draft". FFS - did anyone ever say "no, dont draft good players - absolutely don't do that!" How does signing good players stop Joe from drafting?

Ok then i wont bring it up anymore, Sorry to trigger you.

In as far as I know we have 11 picks. As of yet, that has not changed . We have to wait until next year and once FA is over to find out about 2026 comp picks.

[Boltjolt]

PFF did a study on the best teams at drafting.

Interesting but that's from 2021.

[Leslie Grossman]

Comp picks are in, the Murray pick is a 6th

He'll try. It's a competitive job. You always try to be the best.

Don't know what the situation is, but I'd rather have Samuel.
