Grier frustrates me too. He does a lot of good things, but picking players isn’t one of them.100%, you're right. Grier is just beyond frustrating at this point. We blew a golden opportunity at becoming the next KC

Tua, Hunt, Davis, Jones are all solid performers who are improving, Kindley, Jackson are still in the mix. Igby is way behind but I'm not ready to give up or call him a bust. But I will agree he was over-drafted.2021

Look at all of these great draft picks. Thanks Grier.
Do we know this was a Grier pick? I mean, sure, the guy makes the picks, but I would think Flo had a strong hand in picking him up based his athleticism and confidence that he could be coached up.After watching some of his college games I think he was a reach based purely on potential.
He'd only played CB for a couple years before having decent games against some pretty good receivers. Marshall, Chase, Smith.
Marshall beat him with size/strength
Chase beat him with crisp moves
Smith beat him with speed, Riggs too, I believe.
He showed good, not great speed. He recovered for breakups on some, others he got burned.
He does show great ball awareness throughout.
I think Flores sees potential but he's not there yet. He needs to keep watching X and the rest to learn. Bring him in little by little. His instincts and reaction time will improve the more he sees/plays.
I hope he's ready when the FO decides X AND Jones are too expensive to keep both.
Ok with all the picks we had forgot Waddle was through our "haul" of trade capitalI've heard things about this Waddle guy. Kind of under the radar tho.
Remember seeing him as a sleeper I think by Kiper on one of the pre-draft showsAfter watching some of his college games I think he was a reach based purely on potential.

Phillips, visions of Mike Mamula...LOLThey will likely move on next year when his salary is not an issue .
Someone suggested an Okudah trade. Okudah was twice the player at Ohio State that Iggy was at Auburn. Not sure why he has struggled in Detroit. Getting away from pycho sicko Campbell would be good for him.
3 of Grier's 1st round picks are looking very weak. Iggy- total bust. Jackson- was overrated and looks weak coming out of the non physical PAC 12. I didnt like that pick at all.
Then watching Phillips yesterday- he looks slow with very average burst off the line of scrimmage rushing the QB. Taking him over Najee Harris was questionable.
This team still needs a good RB. Gaskin running out bounds on the 2nd to last drive of the game was weak. Instead of having a 2nd and 2 by fighting for extra yards it was 2nd and 5 and they ended up not getting a 1st down.
Agreed, at this point we’re just hoping he can turn out to be a decent pro player. Elite, pro bowl, completely out the window now.First round pick from a year ago is inactive in hitting the panic button. I think this one is long gone.
Louis was fantastic. Sammie not so much.Ok with all the picks we had forgot Waddle was through our "haul" of trade capital
Ok there were other offensive options available but yes add Waddle
Still with all those picks you are not feeling underwhelmed being excited over only 2 players?
I was more excited when we got Sammie Smith and Louis Oliver in the 1st even though it didn't quite work out
And we traded a 5th for Breida in 2020 draft. What a **** show.Tua, Hunt, Davis, Jones are all solid performers who are improving, Kindley, Jackson are still in the mix. Igby is way behind but I'm not ready to give up or call him a bust. But I will agree he was over-drafted.
WAY tooo early to comment on 2021 class except to say Waddle and Holland looks like studs!
Can you even find pizza on Ocean drive?And that’s just it. He’s not even earning a spot on ST. Nick Needham is so much better than him and we found him behind a dumpster eating pizza crust on Ocean Drive.
Eichenburg has played one game!Jury is still out on Tua. The early returns on Jackson, Hunt and Eichenberg are meh. Kindley is okay as a 4th rounder. Earth to Noah and Jaelan Phillips
