Seeing that you're the guy who tried to "educate me" on how Deshaun Watson and Brad Kaaya were no better than the 10th best QB in 2017's draft, I would be careful who you are calling stupid.

Just because I think we had a shit draft doesn't mean I think Macc is a shit GM. I still have a lot of faith in him. He has made great moves since becoming the man. But I call things like they are and he had a bad weekend, an Idzik-level bad weekend. I'm sorry, I don't like it anymore than you do but it's my opinion.

Fixed (and you're certainly entitled to it) . . .

I'm not sure I would go quite that high with it, unless you also factor in the fifth used for Brandon Marshall and the sixth for Ryan Fitzpatrick.

I do like a lot of the moves. Lee, to me, was a great value pick, but it is to be seen how he is coached and schemed. Hack? Hate how he played the last two years, and hope the Jets are right that it was more coaching and system than a reflection on him. Jenkins, I really liked, mainly because he is all football player beyond measurables. Burris, I like the scheme fit, but wonder about him being picked too early, a response to them not having fifths or sixths. Shell, love the pedigree, not 100% sold on him, but could be a big upside. Like going punter with Edwards, especially an Aussie punter, as they are usually more physical and athletic than other punters from having played Aussie Rules. Love the Peake pick, a gem who inexplicably fell to the mid-seventh.

I wouldn't give it an A+, but I think it was far stronger than many are willing to admit.
Compared to last years draft which I think I went with a C+ or B at most, this year to me is A+ all the way. And that's whether the players pan out or not. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying all of them can flop and no one expects that. So this may be a draft of 3-4 future impact starters and the rest being key back up depth players. They drafted all need positions and went with I'm guessing and hoping the BPA that fit what they needed at the spots they drafted them. This to me was a excellent draft and I think both LBs, Hack and the WR are the players that will make or break this draft.
