Draft Grade

Also, this team is usually going to gamble on the HR as opposed to the safe pick. It’s our identity as a front office.

And I don’t see how anybody care argue with that approach given how well it’s worked out for them.

Who have they really gambled on that was a huge risk versus reward type?

I'd argue the other athletics traits guys they've went for haven't really worked out. Kpass and Ford are the big ones that come to mind for me.

Reek was a 5th rounder, so not exactly a big risk there.

I’m not talking just about athleticism and I’m also not necessarily talking about risk/reward. I’m talking about upside in general.

Gay, Jones, Kpass, Mahomes, Kelce, Tyreek, Thornhill, Peters, Ford, Hardman, Sneed, Saunders, etc.

All of those guys were/are upside picks, for one reason or another. Some based purely on athleticism, some based on traits, etc.

How can you argue that this team doesn’t clearly draft for upside (not saying you are)?
