The more I watch of this kid, the more I'm impressed. I think Brady & Ryan are going to revitalize Darnold. In college I saw anticipation throws, him leading recievers open, accuracy, ball placement, etc. Hopefully the NFL didn't ruin his confidence completely. We just need to jog his memory a bit, protect him inside the pocket, erase the Gase influence and allow him to start fast.

lol....yes, that was Gettleman. Ron had to echo that statement though, it just sounds Rivera-ish.

Ironically, I'd look for Robby in this area. DJ and Marshall are just quiet Moton, CMC are more lead by example types. Anderson would be the talker. And possibly Darnold by training camp.

Mind goes to Byron Bell, or was it Nate Chandler???... "he's left handed so he has to be good". (Paraphrasing but it's basically what he was trying to convey to the public).

Nah, I'll pass...respectfully. Sign me up for a roster addition addressing FS though Asap. P.S.. I think we're set a QB. If Donald needs to sub out that means we'll be in position to pick one up in first next draft.

Greg Little is that you ???

Christian Miller had 2 sacks in a 24 snap span as a rookie in Rivera's circus scheme lol. I think he makes the team. He's just not very durable (up to this point anyway). Only way he doesn't would be if the numbers forced us to choose between Haynes and Miller. The former whom I have expectations of becoming a breakout star with more PT. He's just a tad undersized but he did break Greg Hardy's record at a smaller size. With tackles becoming faster and more agile each season, it might not be a bad idea to keep our roster topped off with athletic situational pass rushers. Phil Snow must be on cloud 9 right now thinking of all the defensive blitzing combinations. Burns, YGM, Reddick, Shaq, Haynes, Fox, Miller, Perryman.. Not to forget occasionally bringing in Donte and/or Horn n AJ... maybe Chinn. All this with Brown, DaQuan and Daviyon in the middle...smdh It is entirely possible this D could b top 10 or better. Either way whatever im envisioning is going to be a nightmare, esp. for the statue-esque QBs.

Wth????? ...plz tell me he didnt say that

We'd certainly have the money to, if that's what we needed to do next offseason. That is assuming our own FA's don't take a 3rd of the budget to resign/extend.

Fair enough. I didn't realize they started Scott over Daley, I thought he got the nod due to injuries. Christensen could indeed be a beast in time. I'm reluctant to crown him based on the competition he faced at BYU though. Also cant forget that the answer may or may not be on the roster yet. Until after preseason cuts. That interior line though... should have some stiff camp battles. Hopefully Paradis will continue building on his growth last season. And between Erving, Elfein, Brown, Daley, Miller, Moore and Scott, the guard position should be pretty reliable. Really wanna see in particular: Derrick Brown vs Deonte Brown (again) Brian Burns vs Brady Christensen

I honestly think it plays out like this based on what I've seen .. If healthy Daley barely beats out Erving. Erving barely beats out Scott.. The wildcard is Christensen.. If you take away the role players with short arms have played at LT in history then Christensen should be the starter week 1. Idunno, I think Erving and Daley have the advantage with the latter starting "if" he can stay healthy. Then again, Carolina seems to be that one team that drafts/develops players that excel despite whatever limitation is placed on 'em. The only thing I know for certain is, we were graded around the middle of the pack last year ....I think we're improved.

That Interior Dline tho.... We got this. My gut tells me this will be a message sending game for us. Gut also tells me, Week 2 we'll come back to earth.

My expectation for his first year is turbulence as he learns the scheme and speed of the game. If he can keep up with receivers and TE's without too much PI, I could very well see his ceiling as Ramsey during his rookie year. They also in common speed and freakishly long arms for corners. One thing is for certain, he's not Darryl Worley. I expect him to get picked on early and often but his attitude so far tells me he's up for the job. He wants to be great, that's unteachable. Side note: This pick actually upgrades both corner spots. And If Donte has atleast half of the ego I think he does, this should push him also.

Ridley - Jackson or Bouye Pitts - Horn Julio - Chinn Ryan - Burns, Reddick, Brown, Jones Honestly, one could apply that exact question to our Offense and add a healthy Cmc and a QB who can throw further than 35 yards.

We do utilize the 3rd WR... but not as much as other teams because we have McCaffrey who is basically another receiver at any time. Which was/is the reason we didnt resign Samuel. We also picked up David Moore this offseason with slot intentions. Marshall imo is a #2...I think he'll contribute immediately but specifically in the redzone since he's 6'4 and that's a problem area. I say next year because that's when Robby Anderson's (our current #2) contract is up. Playing time, they all have a chance at... minus probably the LS. BUT serious playing time this year if I had to guess: Maybe 5 of the 11 and that's being generous. Horn (obvious reasons) Marshall (redzone)... Christensen (he'll be listed at tackle but may end up playing guard at first) ..He's athletic but his arm length might cause him trouble in practice with all the speed rushers we have. He'll primarily be going up against Burns, Haynes, Reddick, Miller, etc. But if he can come out of camp named starter over Scott then we're good. Or Scott could end up starting with Christensen as depth his first year. Alot of variables. Tremble (rotation with Arnold) And maybe Hubbard, depending on McCaffrey's health. I do think he easily beats Cannon and Rodney Smith. Its also is a strong possibility that Daviyon beats out Bravvion but he still has to beat out Daquan Jones. If your talking 50-60% of snaps and over: 2 of the 11 (Horn and Christensen)

I thought that also until we signed Dan Arnold who is purely a pass catching TE. Our schemes should evolve based on exploitation. Maybe we're planning on rotating both depending on down. Wish we could combine DA's and Tremble's skillset into the other.

3rd day made me a little more comfortable with the first 2. Horn I'm warming up to. Would have took Slater in the first. And JOK or Moehrig in the 2nd. OR.. even Slater then doubled down with Jenkins or Randunz. I just dont fully get the logic but it's not my job to. Think we could have went down 3-4 spots and still grabbed our db. I think Jaycee is to offset Pitts. And the Marshall Jr pick is namely for 2022, as of now he's probably 4th on the depth chart. I will say this though, it is ALOT of "future" potential in this haul. The fan in me says we may have walked away with 5-6 future starters if they reach that potential. In the real world, we're probably looking at 3.

I see our new OT already taking player spots.... foreshadowing perhaps... Or OT is in the wrong spot... Either way we find out. Lol, how does this happen.

His Senior Bowl 1 on 1s... Solid routes !!!!

This dude is disciplined in his technique. The patience is crazy. He's not a ball hawk but he's moldable. Senior bowl coaching coming in handy I see.

JOK.. If we go Safety.. Andre Cisco in the 3rd

Jenkins, Andre Cisco, Freiermuth, Holland.. Round 2: Is screaming DT or FS for some reason... OT is what the majority want

Malcom Koonce.. DE/OLB

Physically Talented: Cam He was the prototype athlete, he probably could have played any offensive position (minus oline) and excelled imo. QB, RB, TE, and/or WR. Not to mention on a couple spots on a 3-4 defense..maybe not starter level though. As a QB in his prime... his speed, toughness, and elusiveness are miles ahead of Allen. Arm strength might be pretty close though. Fastest: Vick. That speed was basically like having Donte Jackson behind center.

Only thing I'd be "upset" about is anybody else picked if "Sewell, Pitts or Chase" are still available. Sewell: Tackles our Oline problem Pitts: Tackles our redzone problem Chase: If you thought last year was good with DJ, Robbie and Samuel lol. At the same time, whoever picked is apart of the family so that bitterness would only last around 24 hours. Atleast until the 2nd round, where I'd have another chance to experience the same dissatisfaction again.
