C- draft
If Tyler Smith is a bust, it turns into a F

You will never know the grade till half way through the season.

Ridgeway & tolbert are my favorite picks…both are good value for where they were picked and address needs

draft was an A…they drafted at #24! you're not getting anything guaranteed at that spot. so t.smith is as good or better than you can realistically expect to get there. williams at 56 has traits and production in the SEC. tolbert is another terrific pick in the 3rd. ferguson should be a day 1 player at te2, his floor is what schultz is now. the ndst ot is as good as you can expect in the 5th. deron bland is meh, but the clark selection was genius as they got a top 60 player for 2023, the ridgeway pick might be one that we look back at 5 years from now as one of their better picks of the decade as he might be the dominant run-stuffer we've been missing for so much time.
all of this is conjecture of course, but this is just as likely an outcome as anything downey has to say

A

B+ they got the guys they wanted and at the time they could get them if they didn't take the players when they did they wouldn't have been there at there next pick didn't give an A cause they did reach a little but I felt they had to to get the guys they wanted

B+ all considering what we had to work with.

“Old guys” he’s 24

I give them a B+ they filled some real holes ppl r sleeping on the context and the culture shift they're trying 2 make and that's gettin bigger nd nastier wat is the 1 word u heard alot wit these guys that's mean nasty physical aggressive smith thats the main thing u heard Sam Williams Damone Clark ridgeway all these guys r tone setters and its a great change cuz think of the teams we've lost 2 in the playoffs the last couple times the 49ers jus were more physical and tough the rams ran all over us even the packers had aaron Jones killin us so wat do u do u get bigger stronger and nastier in the trenches thats wat they r starting this draft I love it even the wr Tolbert he's known 4 a workout warrior he's a guy that they have 2 kick out of the weight room and practice field cuz he wants 2 keep working and gettin better so I love the class I love wat these guys bring nastiness and potential guys that aren't gonna get alot of credit but bring the lunch pail and do the dirty work we need that wit how bad we were vs the run and running the ball ourselves I jus see this draft differently and more optimistically but I see wat they're doin bein tired of bein bullied around especially in the playoffs we made our names and those trophies in the trenches

Imma give them a strong D-…

I give them a B…

Joe Philbin is going to mess this kid up.Joe Philbin needs to be fired.

F

C- grade, Ridgeway was my favorite, he singlehandedly beat Texas. The first pick was the worst pick

Last year was Michah Parsons on not being a good pick for Dallas at linebacker and we know how that turned out. Now Dallas is catching heat about Tyler Smith not being a good pick and getting criticised about his play as Micah Parsons. To all who criticised the Cowboys last year and this year, Have you learned to shut your damn mouth after last year? No you don't know a damn thing until this kid gets on the field, so stop your whinning.

B

C or b-
