Meh. Let’s face it you tend to be upset regardless of what happens
True, I have never seen a GM that BWC thought was any good. He thinks every GM and coach sucks and needs to be fired.

Lots of excuse making here. Regardless of depth, you simply don’t take a punter in the 4th round when you have needs. Poles has done great things. This and the Claypool trade are his worst
Only thing I can think of is that they hated this draft, which is why they traded their picks away.

Don’t have a issue with somebody not liking a pick on a punter but to act like the sky is falling all the time gets a bit much.

They traded mid round picks for veteran depth

I like the process much less than the pick. Was there no opportunity to drop down a little and take the punter later?

Its not like other pass rushers are flying off the board either. It's been Thomas and Dorlus since the start of round 4, and calling either of them a pass rusher is being generous.

For the value, a 2025 4th to pick Booker is probably worth the risk.

If it works out, even better for our D.

Happy with that

Draft grades

QB Caleb Williams = A (Still not sold he was best QB, I like Maye)
WR Rome Odunze = A+
T Karen Amegadjie = B-
P Tory Taylor = F- (multiplied by infinity)
EDGE Austin Booker = A

For me, his potential is high. Lack of playtime in college (really only a one year starter), but he had production and he has the measurables. He needs to get bigger. He's long and he's young.

I feel like most draft people I saw had him in the 3rd round. As I said, might have dropped because of slight character concerns. Might also have been lack of starts in college.
