The Athletic did a breakdown of Mayes and Daniels and the conclusion was that it is not even close, Daniels is way behind Mayes. Daniels is a great runner, but not as developed as a passer as they had thought. They did a comparison to Lamar due to similar playing style in College, and said the same thing, he is significantly behind where Lamar was as a passer, despite being older. I can’t find the article again as it was a while back, but it was really interesting.

The reporter in question is just embarrassing herself at this point, her agenda is obvious. Really weird overall. Didn’t she used to be a good source, or do I have that wrong?

Yep. BPA all the way.

I think o-line or wr will end up BPA, so that should work out well for us.

He’s a good player, but he needs someone really good across from him, so by default he’s not worth what he’s asking for. For what he’s asking for, he should be a game wrecker and he simply isn’t.

So we have 2 different versions of the truth(consensus pick to where we are now). Which one is it? Media and the Panthers are clowning us like the laughing stock that we are. 

what we really should be questioning is why this, and why now? Who the hell drops a story like this in March? Besides coaching and GM changes,  It’s been radio silence for 3 months and all of a sudden, ‘owners wife wanted the other guy’. where is the damage control voicing the confidence you said you had in Bryce last season? That he’s your dude. Superprocessing point guard. 

Clown show. 

I think it is one version of the truth. Fitt led the charge, and in the end it was a consensus. Nicole was not a decision maker (hence not included in the group with consensus), but also felt different.

Based on this thread he doesn’t sound like a guy that gets open quickly, so not a good fit imo, especially at 33.

How is his ability to separate and getting open?

Thank God. I've been saying we need to sign the best OG we can and move Brady Christensen to the bench. He'd be great depth as a solid player who can play guard or tackle on either side of the OL.

LT: Ickey, Christensen
LG: FA, Christensen
OC: Bozeman (Jackson Powers-Johnson would be GREAT here...)
RG: Corbett, Christensen
RT: Moton, Christensen

Adding Onwenu at LG and drafting JPJ as center is my dream scenario. I think JPJ will be long gone by our pick, but after that WR showing maybe, just maybe there is a chance…

It shows two things:

1) She is not part of the core decision makers group

2) She was right the whole time

Both go against everything a core group on this board has complained about for a long time, often using very misogynistic tones. So maybe think a bit before next time.

Putting Mike Onwenu next to Ickey would be something else. Would be very expensive, but also fantastic.

And I meant to say potentially moving to C next year.

That's fine but none of those UNC QB's have panned out either. That's not nothing.

Yeah but Drake is by far the best one. Never understood the hype around Trubiski, he was nothing more than ok. 

Every Mack Brown team gets worse as the season goes on. Same story every year, drives me nuts as a Tar Heel. So I don’t necessarily put that on Drake. I do however think Drake can play well within a system, not sure Williams can. I like Daniels, but he also had crazy talent at WR.

Mark my words, Daniels will be the best of the 1st round QB's....

Will be interesting to see. I have Maye as my #1

The Ladd McConkey thing is weird.  Not much production and doesn’t have size and doesn’t have literally anything that puts him in the first 4 rounds,  not seeing it.

I hope he runs 4.3 and goes before us…would help…but he won’t 

I think he was injured this year, but had good production. He’s 6ft but a bit thin. He’s very good at creating separation and getting open, so that’s the appeal to me. I would say that is the number one thing I look for. I’m done with contested catches type of guys. I think he is decently fast as well.

Since my favorite Jackson Powers-Johnson seems to be a mid first rounder at this point, how about Graham Barton?

I know nothing about him outside of some draft profiles. He’s a tackle who can play G/C. Sounds like a great player on paper. Could play LG this year and move over to tackle in 2025. 

Any insights or opinions about him?

You have to include Malik Nabers in that discussion. Have to.

Sounds like a number of folks have them neck and neck.

I've given up on the hope that he will be there at 33. Setting sights on Van Prann or Frazier now.  Not at 33 but maybe 65.  

Me too. I was hopeful back when I started the thread, but now it’s a long shot. If by miracle he’s there, he’s the no brainer pick.

The big difference with Morgan vs. his predecessors is that at his first press conference he didn’t hesitate to openly criticized the current roster, talking about the lack of the player type we need etc. That on its own gives me hope and makes me wonder how much actual input he had under Fitt.

This gives me some serious Tepper vibes lol

Btw, if I just bought a team for $6B I would do the exact same thing, but still funny

This gives me some serious Tepper vibes lol

I would keep the pick and reset the QB salary clock. I would take Maye.

That read as if she’s best friends with Burns agent, wow.

Nothing backs this statement up. You can say eye test, but every stat, analysis, chart and professional opinion I've seen says he's one of the most accurate passers in the league. I didn't watch every game, but the games I did see, your statement about hitting a barn sounds like hyperbole. Maybe you need glasses?

What I saw was someone who rarely hit his WRs in stride. They had to stop a lot to wait for the ball or do circus style catches. So that’s why I don’t consider him accurate at this point. Not sure how they actually measure accuracy as that doesn’t match up to what I see. But that is just my opinion, and maybe I’m completely wrong, who knows?

Isn’t he known as a kind of malcontent / underachiever? Or do I have him mixed up with someone else?
