Theres a very good chance the best player available is an OT or DT.

Eeehhh it was a top team who also happens to be 3-7 last 10

The fan's perspective.

@toldozer - morning drank for St Patty's Day parade, then napped all afternoon / evening. On Utah Valley -2.5 next.

We really need the Bus to bounce back. If his play up to this point was an aberration, then we're going to need Freddie to be the man. Great game tonight but doesn't feel great.

WR in the first would boil my blood. Sadiq is a good idea and hope and pray Anthony Hill is there in the second. This is a heavy LB draft, they can get a good linebacker in the second or third. Nose tackle is low key a huge need with Robinson gone. Super bummer he’s gone, good leader and solid player. Big hole to fill.

He’s had so many moments that I look at and say hey, who was that who just gave up that big play? Who just missed that tackle? And if I was blindfolded and had to guess one player on the panthers defense who gave up a big play I would always guess Nick Scott

well he decided not to upgrade the position at all and re-signed Nick Scott

Most Hornets' fan post ever. We've got to go 7-3 or better over the next 10, otherwise I'll have zero faith in them making any noise through the play in.

He has done well in spots late. but you are forgetting there was a 4play sequence where we could have gone down and forced OT. We discussed how that went after the game and people were split, many blamed it on Canales. Many blamed it on a receiver not catching pass. It was 4 plays every one a failure. Don’t fool yourself thinking that he does it at will. talking about the WC game.

Yeah. How he shows up in training camp with a year of NFL training and nutrition will tell us all we need to know. Side note... how has Bryce still managed not to find the weight room?

I hope he finds his lane in year 2. Now that we signed Walker, I'm really intrigued how Dan feels about the DL. Is there a piece there in R1 that presents value/BPA and fills a void for one of the spots w/ DB and Wharton. I'll give Wharton another year to show us why he was signed here. With A'Shawn gone, I don't think BBIII is it. Our edges are set and our LBs are balanced. Horn/Mike Jack and Moehrig will hold the secondary together. DB is, well...DB. However, I think this is an area that is the biggest question mark right now. I see 1 of 3 spots that are locked and loaded for us. If we move to a 4 down front, I assume Phillips would slide down to be the additional linemen, but we still have questions about the other two spots in either scheme. I'd feel better with a tradeback, but I do wonder how McDonald would do here. Maybe Woods....but McDonald really does peek my interest. Or, can Jackson take that next step. The coaching staff speaks highly of him for what little he played. Here's hoping he stays healthy and comes into TC with something to prove. There's a spot to be taken, here's hoping he takes it.

Not many people talking about DT, but we have a need. (DE) Now this guy is a NT like Brown III

But is it about letting Bryce develop or about winning games? Bryce has not been good enough to be an uncontested starter. He just hasn't. How many times has last drive Bryce shown up for 4 entire quarters? Once in 3 seasons? You aren't going to win 9 or 10 one score games every season year in and year out. You may want Bryce in the last 2 minutes. I want that Bryce the full 60. No one is saying you have to give up on him, but bringing in another QB that can do anything is not hindering Bryce. It helps the team and that's where the focus needs to be. If drafting Sadiq to plague the middle of the field would help out offense, but Bryce struggles to get pass into the middle of the field, is Sadiq a bad pick? Or could he be a good pick with a better option at QB? We can't be afraid to improve. QB, TE, OL, LB, DL, CB, S. It doesn't matter. The goal is SBs, not 5 to 8 years seeing waiting to see if Bryce can develop while the rest of the league keeps passing us by. Sadiq is a nice option, but I think we have to address tackle if one we like is there because we are painfully thin after this year, a LB to general the field, and a true ball hawking safety that can set the tone in the secondary. Those 3 positions are bigger game changers than a TE that will likely struggle to make a round 1 impact in this offense.

Lil Stanky 100% in the dot tonight... And our 2nd line has been our best offensive line this season. Maybe our 2C really was on the roster this whole time...?

That’s a grade I kind of expected tbh. I’m not a huge fan of NS, but he’s not as bad as what the huddle says he is minus the horrible game he had vs the Rams. I’ve always thought he’s often used as a scapegoat. The improved pass rush should hide his deficiencies a little bit better if he’s the game one starter. FS might have to be a position we punt on this year unless Thieneman falls to us at 19. The reality is, you're going to have a few average players in certain spots for a team with as many holes we had before free agency started. You can’t sign everyone.

I am by no means trying to say he's a world beater. I'm saying it's trending in the right direction. Especially when measured against himself.i think the team feel the same way or else they wouldn't have picked up his option. Plus I think there is a new idea in the NFL about these young QBs. Teams give up to soon. Browns gave up to soon on baker same with the jets on Geno and darnold. Maybe they are who you thought they were in the draft process and they need more time to develop than you originally planned. Either way. I do think he is as capable as darnold is as far as you can win a championship with him. And something he does have that darnold doesn't is he is clutch. If I need one more drive and 2 mins to go I'm betting on Bryce and I am far from a homer, just going off his game winning drives. He has that dog in him on the last drive.

People might be talking about prioritizing drafting some. We need to turn some of these salaries over. Get some young cheap guys in place of 100 million commitments. In the next couple of years.

Kind of partial to him myself.

I had other QBs I was interested in and had no interest in Picket. Don’t ask me I can’t explain it. I will say if the team is good enough to win with Bryce it is probably good enough to win with Picket.

You don't draft a mid round Qb with potential to stick him on the practice squad. He needs reps and that's gonna come as QB2. It's Bryce and KP or bust. I feel like we're playing roulette trying to outsmart the house. Maybe we win big, but the odds aren't in our favor.

I'm not sure what metric most of these people are going by, but I damn sure wouldn't trust it. 16 games to barely pass 3k yards on a Stanford band pass. Yes he had 27TD passes but the offense was stagnant a lot of the time. He never had 2 games back to back of franchise QB level play. He had moments that were good but more that were bad. He was outplayed by a backup QB in Arizona. Compared to his rookie year, Bryce had a good season. Compared to the other franchise QBs in the NFL, Bryce barely made it to the finish line.

maybe, since it was against a top team. Definitely one of the best played 3rd periods in a while.

It's about time? We've been prioritizing the OL. In 2024 we were 4th in OL salary In 2025 we were 1st in OL salary In 2026 we are once again 1st in OL salary That's three years running. We didn't just start doing this. So the results on the field should be speeding forward to match up with the salary cap we are burning through. But they aren't. In 2025 we were 27th in total YPG. In 2024 we were 29th in total YPG. Are any of you actually expecting us to field a top 20 offense in 2026 or are we just setting the bar at winning free agency?
