I was gasping when he said burrow was an A. That definitely got me lol

same

I came down here to complain about that because Herbert got the A+ but Burrow was "downgraded" to A for a Super Bowl loss. Well played, they got me good, glad I saw this comment before complaining 🤣

had the video playing from my phone behind me and turned around the second he said it to pause the video and complain

He has had a bad o line but a decent defense and completely surrounded by pure talent

Andrew Thomas is silently elite. Never talks or jaws, just does his work. Absolutely lethal.

#1 ranked linemen last year. If you manage to outplay Trent Williams at anything you deserve respect.

@luc rative Thomas was the #1 ranked Tackle. Chris Lindstrom was the #1 ranked O-Lineman.

@Matthew Mazzatto lindstrom mid thats derrick browns son

He got heat for being taken first off the board for OT too… go figure

As a Washington fan it’s been insanely frustrating seeing Chase Young being unable to replicate that magic from his rookie season. I’m hoping him and Sweat can have a huge year for us.

Tbh it wasn’t even that magical he’s been overhyped his whole career he was never generational he had 7 sacks that’s a good or decent season it wasn’t magical like Micah parsons having 12 he was a promising player but never generational and always overhyped and overrated

I think even when healthy, he's always had the benefit of teams not being able to scheme against him because everyone else is on your D line is so freakin good. He doesn't face the same number of double teams that more dominant D ends do--like say a Miles Garrett--but he's still only been able to turn that into one pretty good year. And granted I realize he's been hurt a lot, but I dunno man. Maybe the truth is....he's just not THAT good. Being the physical specimen & freak athlete he looks like makes that much harder to believe, but God knows it happens (and probably way more often than we usually care to admit in the NFL). Perhaps he's really just a decent starter who's mostly capitalized on playing w/ the best D line unit in The League. And he's simply not the monster stud everyone thought he was sure to be. Not everyone can be Reggie White, ya know? Look at Travon Walker. Freakiest athlete, tests off the charts...but once the actual football starts, he's completely & totally far outplayed by not only Aiden Hutchinson, but also the Lions 6TH ROUND pick, James Houston (who was 2nd in rookie sacks & way up there in pressures, hits, etc., behind Aiden who led in all categories. Walker didn't have half his production). Ya just never know, man. But....the (game)tape never lies.

@Jamarvin B Sacks aren’t everything Young was very good as a rookie injury and him himself not being as good has hindered him Hopefully he’s better next season

@Jamarvin B hater

@jessica L not hating just a fact

The funny part about his joke about burrow being an A instead of an A+ because he didn’t win the Super Bowl, is that there’s definitely a lot of people out there that would say that because no one respects the bengals

Why should they? Chiefs are just now getting our respect after our second super bowl win. And you still had people saying mahomes ain’t the best qb in the league right before this second SB win.

Why should they? Chiefs are just now getting our respect after our second super bowl win. And you still had people saying mahomes ain’t the best qb in the league right before this second SB win.

@Ali Mctaven  u must be outside your mind lol everyone knows this is the chiefs Era. If they are saying otherwise it's just to piss you off.

A++ grade for burrow He's the real deal

That was a solid video bro. Henry Ruggs is a tough one. I hope Beckton can come back and revive his career.

How is drafting someone who gets injured on the front office but drafting someone who is out because he killed someone an incomplete? One could argue that both or neither of these were foreseeable.

Ruggs is a straight F-

How is he a tuff one he will never play agian so how is it a incomplete

Andrew Thomas is a godsend for the Giants, the rest of the line might be in shambles but AT virtually locks down the left side

My favorite Joe Burrow stat is that at this point in his career, he has the same number of playoff wins (5) as the Bengals totaled in all their years since 1968 before they drafted him.

As an AZ Cards fan,I fully endorse this grade!! Simmons is a solid keep for a career type that we're happy to have

It's crazy how the first 5 qbs in this draft could be top ten(if jordan love somehow becomes good)

Tuas just not top 10 man

@JA name ten qbs better than him

​@mohamed diallo Mahomes, Allen, Hurts, Burrow, Herbert, Rodgers, Lamar, Lawrence, Geno, Goff

@Amaze_Z I feel like once people see a full healthy season from tua (if that ever happens) he will be put ahead of goff, even though I am a goff fan

​@Amaze_Z goff rodgers and geno is laughable

The Ruggs situation is so tough and incredibly sad at the same time. He was just breaking out. Sky was not even the limit man but he wanted to be stupid AF. Watched his whole career at Bama and was excited he got drafted to my team

It's ridiculous that we allow anyone who drinks to drive a car.

I never thought I would see the Bengals be a threat in the league but here we are. I’m so happy we have Burrow. WHO DEY!

I really got high hopes for chase young hopefully he can bounce back.

One of the best quarterback classes in awhile

Burrow is an A++. I’m a biased bengals fan but he is gonna go down as the greatest bengal ever. No way that’s not an A+ or more

Cringe, as usual for Bengals fans

@ar00ya It’s cringe that your team lost to the raiders two years ago. I wanted to play Herbert in the playoffs that year. Maybe next year…

He’s what a first overall pick qb should be. Unlike many others.

@ar00ya cringe?? Give me a break. Cringe is watching your chargers blow a 30 point lead in the playoffs.😂

@Jesse Parton Insecure Bengals fans bringing up other teams. Sad scenes

Omg my Bengals fan fingers were warming up before you tacked on that + for Burrow! 😂 If there was A++ he'd get it bc it it isn't just the wins he's changed in Cinci. Everything that team *does changed that day

Yeah he’s the second best qb after 3 years he should be hof

😂 oooook

This probably the most accurate and fair breakdown I’ve seen so far . Great video tells you did heavy film study .

Thank you!

Bucs fan here. Tristan Wirfs has been an amazing pickup and I have nothing but positives to say about him. That being said I'm very curious how well he plays with Trask or Mayfield at qb. Theres an intrinsic motivation to do your best every single snap when you are protecting arguably the greatest qb of all time and without that motivation I hope he stays consistent.

Good stuff as always! One thing though is you didn't even mention Sean Payton coming to Denver to help Jeudy. I think that warrants a slight change in his future potential.

I understand the Tua grade, but as a Dolphins fan, I would hope for at least a B+ given the season that he just gave us

my only issue with Tua last season was when the Chargers and Packers exposed him. he has problems reading defenses, but having Waddle and Hill basically open all the time made it easier for him. I hope he develops and becomes even better, like Herbert and Burrow. he's a likeable guy.

Wouldn’t say they exposed him, he was coming off of a concussion, and spent weeks recovering without practice

Thank you for saying what casual NFL fans don't understand, that Chase Young has honestly leaned more towards a bust than some prodigy

Raiders fan knew this would be a good tough watch. Thankful Damien Arnette and Johnathan Abram were on the back half of the 1st round… split the pain into 2 videos. Part will be an F.

Herbert is an A+ because he plays great football, not playoff losses because people seem to only blame the QB for things.

As a Bengals fan, not giving Joe an S is a crime punishable by death. He pretty much is the face of this new era of the Bengals. He’s the perfect draft. He took the team onto his shoulders and rekindled the long dormant fan base of Cincinnati behind him. I live in Cincinnati, and it’s insane the difference 2 years of success made. You see a LOT of bengals merch now. People are no longer afraid to walk around wearing it. People don’t realize how much of a football town Cincinnati is. Joe burrow was an S tier pick.

I believe the scale might simply not include an S+

Its a grading video not a tier list lol

It’s a school grading scale not a tier list. He gave him the best grade lol

Joe Burrow was certainly an A+ pick.

As a Dolphins fan who flew in from Australia, I was tragically disappointed with Tua's game against the Steelers. B seems fair but I think incomplete is more apt. He is either Brees or bust and even after 3 years I have no idea which Great video - thanks for the love. And have a yew beut day

That's dedication! I'm looking forward to the NFL nabbing some more Aussie Rules or rugby players. Maybe expanding into TEs or Safetys, instead of just punters.

He FAR closer to Bress than bust. Considering the steelers game was vs a very good team and he was coming back from nearly a month of and very bad looking concussion.... It was kinda expected. He isn't an elite prospect, but he has some very high level traits to be a top 10 QB for years to come. I do think he'll never been burrow or Herbert but he's a QB that will succeed in the NFL if he can stay upright.

I’m still not over the tragedy involving Ruggs. It’s really really sad, and just gets sadder as time goes on.

I like how fair you were with Simmons, usually outsiders give Simmons a negative grade but never see the nuance in the snap counts and numbers, I'm an AZ sports writer and I'm currently writing why the Cardinals should pick up his 5th year option, of course there's many in my community thinking we shouldn't

Herbert absolutely killed it his first 2 seasons, this last one was a bit disappointing for a number of reasons mostly due to him breaking his rib cartilage in week 2, missing his top 2 WRs for several games and then playing through a torn labrum the last few weeks of the season including his first playoff game. Im sure if he stays healthy he will be even better than year 1-2.

When you said Burrow was just an A for losing a Super Bowl and having Herbert an A+ I about lost my mind…of course, I watched for 5 more seconds and learned you were joking…that was pretty good.

Watched your second half of the first round video too. I agree with most of everything. Feels like if your teen got a starter out of this class then you did good. So many F grades in this draft class

Would love to see a video about the second round since those people are expected to be starters as well. It would also be cool to see an overall grade for each team looking back 3 years later compared to what people graded the teams immediately after the draft

Becton has slimmed down quite a bit this offseason, curious to see if it helps his injury issues and can live up to his billing

I think it would be cool if at the end of the video you graded notable non first round picks.

Agreed

It’s weird to think that Carolina got two stars in this draft with Derrick brown and Jeremy chin in the second then traded for what was suppose to be another one

About a year or 2 years ago I would’ve of disagree with you but now since brown took a leap and (I’m hoping he takes another leap this upcoming season) I would definitely say we definitely did grab 2 great players for our defense

Aiyuk was in this first round as well. Easily an A- pick

Tua has shown that he can be a really good quarterback in the NFL it’s just all a matter of him staying healthy

Browns fan here... I'll be the first to admit that I'm frustrated with Jedrick Wills most of the time, but I'm glad he touched on the Joe Thomas effect. Another thing that weighs into this is how good the entire rest of the line is, which isn't just a "by comparison" statement as much as it is to say that he is clearly the weak link, and thus more susceptible to being attacked/exposed by opposing defenses.

i will never forgive the lions old front office for trading slay for a 3rd round pick just to draft a CB 3rd overall the same year… Imagine how much different we’d look with Herbert going forward :(

I definitely did feel like Derrick brown was a bust let’s see if he can take another leap this upcoming season

Man, it's crazy how the #1, #2, and #3 pick in this draft have all already suffered a major injury. I think Burrow and Chase suffered the same injury too? FedEx Field man, yipes

I was about to break my phone screen when you gave Joe burrow an A because his team lost the Super Bowl 😂

Tua should be a B+ his coach staff 1st year was a mess but he played through it.

Lmfao when you said Burrow was an A because of the SB loss I spit out my water laughing

Watching this video makes me happy that the chargers hit on Oline 3 times in the last 3 years.

As always thanks for the spicy content! 🙏🏻

As always thanks for the spicy comment

@Football Analysis 😍

I think Tua has to be around an A- especially after this year's hot start. They have their face of the franchise, that's gotta put you in the A range. I can respect a B, but personally feel he's done better than that score would reflect.

Not a Dolphins fan and 100% agree. The only risk the Dolphins took was drafting Tua in face of his pre-existing injury history. So if Tua befell similar injuries then one could downgrade the Dolphins scouting staff's performance, assuming the Dolphin's management/coaching staff had taken reasonable steps to keep him protected. If the Dolphins management/coaching staff had not taken reasonable steps to protect him then the scouting staff still get their A- draft grade.

@DD something a lot of people overlook this year about Tua was that he didn’t sustain any physical injuries this year. He hasn’t done that since I think before his Bama hip injury. He is also now learning jiu jitsu so that he knows how to fall which should help prevent his head injuries and a few physical ones. I think that next year he won’t get injured and will have a true breakout campaign with his great weapons and a should-be stellar defense to back him up.

Haha. Your funny

Okudah is a complete disappointment at 3 as a lions fan but putting it perspective with the db assets we’ve recently acquired that dude is gonna be absolutely perfect as a third option corner

Bengals nation had a collective momentary heart attack. I think a few mouthfuls of Skyline Chili may have been ejected too 😧😧😧☺️

the fact jalen hurts didn’t go first round is surprising

Just outside of the top 16 was CeeDee Lamb, and to this day I am still baffled Ruggs was taken over him. Granted it was a stacked WR room, but Ruggs wasn't even the #2 option at Bama

Man The Lions F’ed this up so bad, thank god they finally have competent people making the decisions now

You can tell what kind of player somebody is off the field before you draft them. F on Ruggs

At first when he said burrow was just an A I was very confused because I’ve watched him play at an A++ level in the sec and nfl

I'd give Tua an A- he was slow to get going but showed he can play with the best of them them. I understand he had the concussions this year, but burrow had an injury his rookie year and I don't take anything away from him. If Tua is healthy he's a hyper efficient qb. Not a game breaker but a fantastic distributor

Yea, i thought Tua should have been at least a b+, he lead the NFL in passer rating, and was 3rd in QBR.

Thanks for these vids I haven’t watched it yet but they make my life more fun thank you

Andrew Thomas went from 0 to hero. So fast

As a cowboys fan, I’m so thankful the Commanders didn’t take Herbert

I love how Brett Kollmann was so wrong with Jedrick Wills

Herbert currently playing through the Marino questline.

Honestly in terms of Gettleman and the Thomas pick/trading the Fields pick for Thibodeaux and Evan Neal, it’s good but would they have developed if he stayed? If Gettleman stays even another year, Joe Judge stays too, and the Giants are staring in the face of a total rebuild

Me as an eagles fan getting nervous for part 2 😭😭

The Joe Burrow joke at the end got me, ngl 😂

Don't get why people are so harsh on Tua. With the weapons he has, he just has to get them the ball, and he has shown he is exceedingly good at that.

Is he better than Skylar Thompson and Teddy B? Sure. Does he take over games like Herbert and Burrow? No.

@ar00ya The Ravens, Bears, Lions, Browns, Texans, and BIlls will disagree with you. It's a reason he lead the league in passing rating and was 3rd in QBR. He's a 7-12 QB in the league

@ar00ya but that's the thing right, every QB can't be a top 5 QB. But I'd argue he is easily top 10. If he was in the NFC it would be between him and Hurts for top rated QB in Conference.

Jus gonna say I’m a bit surprised you hav a ‘B’ grade for the Isaiah Simmons draft … it’s worrisome the cards didn’t renew or exercised his fifth-year option 😶

Almost got me with only an A for Burrow.

I feel like this draft overall could've been a lot better if there weren't as many injuries to players like Chase Young, Mekhi Becton, and Jeff Okuda. Also the Henry Ruggs incident doesn't help.

Baffling selections... Def had raiders in mind.

I thought M Becton would be trouble before they drafted him .

Sometimes I wonder how the 49ers would be if they got Wirfs instead

Bruh I really thought you were giving Burrow an A and not A+ and was like WTF...feeling super gully after that.

You should grade fifth round too because fifth rounders are exciting to watch grow. First round is a boom or bust fifth is more low key

Very specific

So burrow is an A bc he didn’t win the sb but Herbert is an A+ without even making it close to the sb??? Lol the overhype on Herbert is insane Edit: oops sorry for the mistake. Just realized he was a+

😂

LOL it's hilarious how many people stopped the video and typed in angry responses when he gave Burrow an A , and failed to watch the next few seconds of the video.

AT is such a beast

Burrow is an A++ 😳

Yeah that sucks that okuda couldn't stay healthy and wasn't worth that third overall pick that's another Bob Quinn mistake and that loser Matt Patricia the Lions are Going to rebound Go Lions

Now that Niners signed Javon Hargreves they need to move on from Kinlaw

Personality is one of if not the most important thing to consider in draft picks so giving the raiders an incomplete on Ruggs is bogus

I was bout to come in here HEATED til I saw you changed Burrow to an A+.. 😅

He deserves an A+++

Raiders draft that year with that many quality picks has to be the worse draft in the history of league. Only one ☝️ players remains on the active roster .

Me immediately scattering to the comments after I first heard burrow an A and Herbert an A plus

because Wirfs has been so good and the Giants could have drafted him instead of Thomas that is the one thing that makes his grade to high

Justin borderline top 5? I’m very curious, Who are your top 5?

I feel like you were a little too harsh with the C grades on Young and Jeudy. Young had a very promising rookie year and although he has been hurt the past two years, it doesn’t mean he was a poor pick (which is basically what you’re implying by this grade). I also firmly believe that Jeudy is the 3rd best WR in this class (behind JJ and Lamb) and has shown so much potential and characteristics in his game ( like the footwork and route running) that only the most elite receivers have, and I think the fact that he has shown both and more at this young of an age proves that he will be a force to reckon with in the future. The poor QB play also doesn’t help his case so if anything I think both players should be a B- at minimum and an A- at max. Call me crazy now but in the future these two will be the faces of their respective franchises and you’ll think it to be insane that anyone graded either of them as a C pick in their drafts

Derrick Brown is so good

If Burrows an A, then Hurbert is an A-

Umm what..? Jeudy almost had 1k yards this season, and that’s considering the fact he missed 3 games, and played 5 minutes of the 1st quarter against the Texans lol. Plus he had to put up with Hackett and Russ who bout heavily disappointed

Thanks bro I was hyped to see this video.

Ruggs: killing someone in a drunken car crash should be an auto-F. Not saying he doesn’t deserve to try to redeem himself, but for now he blew it.

can you do 2nd round picks from this draft

I have an issue with grading systems in general, as well as how it's done in this video specifically too DEFAULT SHOULD BE A C GRADE Anything above is good, anything below is bad To me the Joe Burrow pick should be a C, as 1st overall picks should be capped at a C (C-F) Taking the obvious layup you've been given isn't A or B, it's just the right thing If a Joe Burrow talent got drafted in day 3, then that's an A to A+ (I can't see how that would give you the same grade as drafting the same hypothetical player first overall)

Burrow should somehow be higher - from a Lions fan

how is jeudy not gonna crack 1k yards with Sean Payton as his head coach? i swear people forget Hackett was an all time failure of a HC, before that it was Pat Shumur who spammed fake jet sweeps for jeudy😐

joe burrow doesn’t get a+ cause he didn’t win a super bowl but herbert gets a+ for throwing a bunch of yards lol

One of my friends would genuinely put Herbert as an F lol

Delusion

@David The weirdest part is that he’s not even a Burrow stan or part of Tuanon, he’s a fucking Giants fan

If the Chargers had a defense Herbert would probably be the most clutch qb in the league. The last game of the year against the Raiders in 2021 comes to mind where on 4 different occasions (including OT) he NEEDED to convert 4th down and got it each time

@Daivd Smith that game was crazy the amount of times he had to be clutch was insane

@Daivd Smith I’ve brought that up to him several times, and he tries to say that if he actually was clutch, the Chargers wouldn’t have had any 4th downs lol

I agree with the A+ for herbert but no need to make excuses for his shortcomings as a prerequisite.

great video he got me with the burrow joke

give burrow the A+ you reached for saying cause he didn't win the super bowl

Joe Burrow should be an A+ just for the the pick at 13:48.

You got me on the joe burrow one lol
