They watch every play. How many of those 83 pass rush assignments do you think that he was close enough to the target that is was a guess he was wasn't the closest receiver on the completion? At what point do you say we'll if watching a tape we aren't sure who was the closest but I'll arbitrarily assign it to Davis bc we hate him. 20% overlap maybe? That would have to be a lot of blown plays that were close for that 5/40 yards over 83 snaps to ballon to say 25/320. I did even if you don't go by their grading it's hard to see how he is a liability in coverage. Even if you quadrupled that number he was better than LVD and if you even suggest DW was better than Britt then we know you're just lying.

Re: What is your 2024 draft grade
Britt played well enough that Devin White was relegated to pass rush snaps almost exclusively, deemed expendable, and then with multiple opportunities to do so no LBers were drafted to replace either White or Britt. I think they like their unit.

Re: What is your 2024 draft grade
I am aware. They didn’t attempt to re-sign him or anyone else nor did they draft a player to add to the room. That tells me they like one of Britt/Dennis well enough to play alongside LVD.Obsolete wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 6:04 amDevin isn't on the team anymore.Grahamburn wrote: ↑Tue May 07, 2024 8:00 am Britt played well enough that Devin White was relegated to pass rush snaps almost exclusively, deemed expendable, and then with multiple opportunities to do so no LBers were drafted to replace either White or Britt.

We’ll see if it was the right choice. They passed on the opportunity to draft or move up for a LB several times in what was considered a weak class.
Re: What is your 2024 draft grade
I would have drafted Newton over Barton.

Re: What is your 2024 draft grade
I think they just didn’t love what was available to them at LB this draft. The team knows it’s an upcoming need but the need doesnt get fixed by drafting a nonfactor high in the draft just to fix the need on paper. They are counting on Lavonte to hold it down another year and then look at their options next year.Grahamburn wrote: ↑Tue May 07, 2024 8:00 am Britt played well enough that Devin White was relegated to pass rush snaps almost exclusively, deemed expendable, and then with multiple opportunities to do so no LBers were drafted to replace either White or Britt.

I’d agree if they passed on Gray/Trotter once, but they passed on them both 2-3 times.Miller4Prez64 wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2024 2:39 pmI think they just didn’t love what was available to them at LB this draft.

Re: What is your 2024 draft grade
That's exactly what @Miller4Prez64 is saying. That indicates that neither player was high on their board or even at all. They weren't going to just take a guy they didn't really like just because it fit a need.Grahamburn wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2024 3:00 pmI’d agree if they passed on Gray/Trotter once, but they passed on them both 2-3 times.Miller4Prez64 wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2024 2:39 pm

Re: What is your 2024 draft grade
And I’m saying they didn’t view it as a need. But, it can also be true that they didn’t like those players.

Re: What is your 2024 draft grade
No but I'm starting to think he sorts by it.
Re: What is your 2024 draft grade
Licht has been pretty transparent about his process this offseason. I've seen it a few times this offseason, but the jist of it is that Licht sorts guys into tiers based on their talent, and then within those tiers he sorts them by need.
Kinda a mix of BPA and need. I like it.
Re: What is your 2024 draft grade
Think I said the exact same thing in the draft thread. I totally agree.
Also if there's a lot of people left in the same tier he trades down. If one guy left he tries to trade up.

Re: What is your 2024 draft grade
Uploaded an NCAA roster to a Madden franchise once and some kid named Bruce Gradkowski won ROY.
We drafted him that draft. Couldn't help but to get a little hyped. But life's not Madden.

You use PFF as proof any time it agrees with you and ignore it any time it doesn't. I agree with you that PFF is not the end-all, but it is a metric to look at.Bootz wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2024 10:44 pmBecause I have eyes and PFF isn't the end all, be all.

Per PFF, KJ Britt had a 73.3 coverage grade last year through WC round. Why do continuously say he is bad at coverage? Britt had 83 coverage plays and only allowed 5 catches for 40 yards. 83! You can keep saying he's slow and he can't cover but allowing 4 catches over 83 assignments is pretty good no matter if you like PFFs rating system
