Was projected to go i the 5th. 6'6" wingspan, a lot of starting experience at Pitt, solid return guy, not too shabby. With the status of our CB room, he has as good a shot as any to creep onto the team. His biggest issue was likely getting drafted by the raiders, bless his heart.

We get D Brown back, which is HUGE, and Moehrig is a really good pick up. BB3, Wharton, and Jones are, IMO, solid pick-ups but not elite, which is fine... most aren't elite. All good, however we will be relying on 3 rookies as either starters or getting significant play time. There will be growing pains. Also, after Horn and Jackson, our CB room is cringe-worthy. We made A LOT of progress, for sure, but we're not there yet. Should be good enough to keep us in games though because our offense is loaded if Bryce continues his upward trajectory from last season.

When you're coming off a "worse ever in the history of the NFL" type season... mediocre sounds pretty damned good!

I think he has a role here as a 5th or 6th WR / mentor to the younger guys. We are seeing more ad more WR's coming out of college with limited route trees. If they can produce in college with a handful of routes, coaches aren't asking them to expand. Between him and AT, there's a poo ton of knowledge to be passed to the youngsters. I think Renfrow makes it and Moore is cut. Assuming that he didn't go to crap in his year off. Theilen, XL, TMac, Horn, Coker, Renfrow. Moose, Hudson & George make PS.

The official Panthers prayer!

Didn't get a ton of touches and was out of football all of last year. That's a ton of wear and tear saved.

Bruh...we're winning 2 of the next 3 SB's!!

Just from the highlight reels, he had 3 different QB's; none of which was very good.

You definitely need to bring your gear to training to get Lil Moose to sign it too. That would be the coolest poo ever!

I can't wait for that 1st pre-season catch! "M-O-O-O-O-O-O-S-E"!

I wonder what the offers were? I get the feeling that not too many teams would want to break the bank with the long list of similarly ranked players out there after the 3-4 blue chip guys. Dropping back to 26 seems too far IMO without their next year's #1 being in the mix. Now dropping from #8 to #11 intrigues the crap out of me! Assuming that the offer was at least #11 and #75.

This is, by far, the best description of our WR room last week ever!

He should make the team based on his name alone!

Very solid point.

Me every April...

Agreed. There's a fine line between coddling and doing everything possible to help him succeed, WHICH WE ABSOLUTELY SHOULD BE DOING. That being said...we absolutely have put of eggs into the Bryce basket: "QB whisperer" head coach, $150 last year on FA guards, re-signed all of our o-line FA's this off season, back-to-back 1st round WR's, a VERY pricey trade up to pick him in the first pace. It's a lot for sure. However, if Bryce is not our future franchise QB (I think he is), all of these moves transfer favorably to whoever we end up with.

Yes please. He's not just a blocker, her had good hands. Certainly not a speed demon, but if her gets open and doesn't let the first tackler bring him down, he's all right in my book!

Good pass catcher and very good on pass protection per the "experts". Can't hate that. We still don't have a safety though.

I looked at both of these guys and Andreas Keaton in my mock. I see them all going in rounds 3-4. Bowman is my favorite but also the consensus favorite and should go 10-15 picks before either of the others.

Don't know him, but you gotta love this: Strengths Big back with frame and demeanor for volume carries. Gets going downhill without much dancing. Adequate burst with plus tackle-breaking ability between the tackles. Uses stiff-arm and shoulders to batter tacklers in space. Possesses an insatiable thirst to score when he smells paint. Smooth screen release with natural hands. Capable of handling protection asks with more work.

But I was told the length of his arms didn't matter as much as the girth!

kk and Star were STUDS on an already stacked defense. That was a good draft. Not to mention that Klein would have been a starter on most other teams.
