Better than Bryce...

Marvin Harrison Jr. may be the best wide receiver in the NFL in 2024. Legette is not going to be better in 2024, or ever. You can't coach what Harrison does and what Harrison has.

I don't care what "draft grades" are from the media. Just like I don't care about recruiting rankings when looking at college football.

It felt different because Tepper wasn’t involved and our head coach isn’t an egomaniac. The positions may have been the same but the grades of each player at the positions were not.

Imagine if the Packers someone who could help them win, with Aaron, instead of after. They were always drafting with the idea of life after Aaron. His individual talent showed through in MVP seasons but the Packers lack of foresight in how to win now kept them from going to Super Bowls. they fuged Aaron several times rather than helped him.

I would go back in time, not trade for Young. I would’ve grabbed O’Torrance, Kincaid, Charbonnet, resigned Darnold and rolled with him. Would’ve drafted Marvin Mims as well. Then, assuming we sucked, I would’ve taken Drake Maye. I’m an anything but Carolina fan, and I think Maye has Hall of Fame potential. Give me Maye, Mims, Charbonnet, Diontae Washington, DJ Moore, Dalton Kincaid, Adam Theilen, and a power run scheme with heavy play action. that’s just my fantasy though. Tepper fuged it up man.

This is why I say that Dan Morgan did his job. People are saying this draft was the same ol’ Panthers under Tepper but it really felt different taking it in, including the process. To me, it seems like Tepper let go of the reigns and let the football people he pays millions for do their job. I don’t mind Tepper having input, but he’s a fan, like the rest of us. He may have some preferences and may even get some poo right, but let the people who have been doing this their entire professional lives handle evaluations, contracts, and the like.

Well, like college recruiting when you get outside the Top 10, it’s a crapshoot until you get to three years down the road. College recruiting rankings are a farce when you get about 1/4 of the way through the four stars. the same can be said for the NFL draft. Outside of the top 10 picks, no one really knows what a player will become. I put less stock in media grades than I do in the current administration bringing energy prices down to an affordable level, and that’s already at zero.

We got guys at the top of our board. We got the 2nd best running back, the fourth or fifth best receiver, and the 2nd best tight end. dan Morgan went BPA which is what you need to do when you’re working with what Morgan had and where the team is right now.

I don’t think Pinkney has the body type to bulk up to a tight end. I’ve watched him and he is a pure receiver. It’s possible he could get up to 240 and play around an Isaiah Likely mold but I’m not sure. He reminds me a lot of DJ Chark.

I think Pinkney has a shot too. He’s a bigger body guy who does everything you want someone with his size to do.

I’ve watched Sam Pinckney for four years now. Very good chance he makes the practice squad. He isn’t incredibly explosive but man does he have great body control and fluid movement. As a Sun Belt fan, I approve of this pick-up.

Calling an NFL player a bum while you type this message from your couch. That’s funny.

If there is little to no improvement this year, he won’t be a Panther next year. His first year was so bad that if he sucks again, we will be picking in the Top 3 in 2025. Honestly, that may be best case scenario for us because I really don’t think Bryce’s ceiling is that high.

It seems different because the draft room looks different. Tepper isn’t featured there, and maybe that’s by design because they heard all of the noise. regardless, we know who wanted Young and it wasn’t Fitterer or Reich. If we had taken Stroud, there really is no telling how things might be different today. I don’t dislike Fitterer like you all seem to. I think he was scapegoated, as was Reich.
