2024 honestly hasn't shaped up to be a great class for a lot of teams. Especially those outside the Top 25 picks or so.

 

It was considered to be an all time WR class. But that was more about the guys at the top and the sheer volume. Outside of the top 4 guys - most WR's that followed have been a disappointment thus far.

 

This tweet kind of puts things into perspective on how we're not alone with having a disappointing 2024 class:

 

If you take a look at the selections, hits are few and far between after Round 1:

I guess we could have the Chiefs draft class instead....

 

WR X Worthy, could have not traded up (and kepy a 3rd round pick) and drafted Ladd McConkey

OL K Suamataia, was drafted to be LT instead cheap replacement for Thurney but not playing close to his level 

TE J Wiley 1 career reception 

S J Hicks PFFs 73rd ranked Safety this season

OL H Nourzad 18 NFL snaps 

CB K Hadden No longer on the team

OL CJ Hanson  5 NFL snaps

 

You guys are trying to bring some context and rational discussion? Are you crazy or what?

 

Step aside and let people rant about Beane!

Beane is living off of the Josh Allen pick. 

McDermott is also living off of the Josh Allen pick. After he traded away the Mahomes pick to draft a cornerback, let's take a brief look at some of what took place after this idiotic move.

 

In 2018, we of course drafted Josh. The next four picks were defensive players. He did draft wrs in rounds 6 and 7.  

 

In 2019, NO wr was drafted.

 

In 2020 the trade was made for Diggs, and added a wr in round 6.

 

In 2021, they drafted a wr in round 5.

 

In 2022, they drafted a wr in round 4.

 

In 2023, another wr in round 4.

 

In 2024, they drafted Coleman in round 2 (after trading down).

 

In 2025, Their first 5 picks were defenive players. They did however draft a wr with pick #240 in round 7.

 

We can blame Beame as we choose but McDermott deserves some of, if not the bulk of the blame for not dedicating enough resources to the wr position, despite having a generational QB. There really is no excuse imo. We still look to be on our way to the playoffs this season and might go far, but I cannot find an excuse for not concentrating more on getting our great QB the weapons he could use to win more football games.

Only in 2017 did McDermott draft anybody.
