Honestly, if you have to keep a guy on the bench for more than a season so he learns the position, he wasn't worth a top 10 pick. You need to be able to step in and learn on the field. That is your best learning experience anyway. In the NFL you either figure it out or you don't.

I swear this guy is employed to just fug with us at this point.

I think Young and Stroud are likely year one starters. Definitely Young. Levis COULD be, although I have a lot of doubts. Richardson would be shocking if he is starting in three seasons. He basically has to finish learning how to play QB.

6. Carolina Panthers Original pick: Ikem Ekwonu, OT New pick: Tyler Smith, OT With quarterback Brock Purdy off the board here, it would have been easy to stick with Ekwonu. He had a solid season after a slow start and has shown the promise to be a long-term solution to a longtime issue. Smith, however, graded out slightly higher for the league's ninth-ranked run offense and allowed seven sacks after being thrown into the position right before the season. Ekwonu allowed eight. -- David Newton

The quality of their chicken has hit the floor. Had it recently after years and it was terrible.

They all cheat. All of them. Dean did, Guthridge did, Doherty did, and Roy did. Hubert might not have to BECAUSE of NIL. If you were a part of Division I college basketball over the past 40-50 years, you likely did some sketchy poo. That's how it has always been. Fans just liked it when only a few of us knew about it. That to me has always been why I have never had any respect for any college sports fan that didn't admit that the reveneu sports were rampant with cheating and ALL the time. None of us were alive when this hasn't been the case.

No one is trading for him. Period. Everyone in the NFL knows he is getting cut.

I used to be heavily involved in AAU. Syracuse has long provided impermissible benefits to it's star recruits. He just hid behind the alumni like they all do. I remember having a discussion with a top recruit(top 15, five star) handler years ago about Jim Beoheim specifically.

Not to mention they have always gotten paid. All those old school coaches are upset because they can't have a monopoly on under the table money anymore and it's a free market distribution. They are also upset because they can't rook these poor bastards into taking a four year scholarship with almost no recourse if things don't work out. Now with the transfer portal and expanded rights there, it's like free agency every offseason. Well......fuging good. fug these whiny college coaches that have made MILLIONS while the athletes they directly exploited get nickels in return. No college coach has any right to open their mouth unless they have been getting paid a salary roughly equivalent to a tenured professor at their university. They are and have been the ultimate crooks in the entire shady college sports fiasco.

He is an elite pass rusher. You really can't have enough of those. The thought was that Burns would be that elite guy but he hasn't quite been able to reach that height yet. Luvu is a great player but he isn't in the same class when it comes to keeping QB pressure. But, Reddick was also used very effectively by Philly and 97% of what we did in Carolina was insanely stupid. Perhaps we will get more out of these guys with competent coaching.

We have neglected KR/PR forever in the draft. Hence why I said in my offseason predictions that we would do so again.

fuging stupid as fug. Also about par for the course as a Panthers fan

The salary cap went up. $30 mil/year is mediocre starter money now.

Are you planning on paying him in draft picks??

Yeah, I may have my own opinions but even if he takes Levis/Richardson, I will give him a chance to work with them. He has earned some benefit of the doubt in his NFL career.

Well he was a guy that reportedly did not want Tua, so I imagine the thought of Kyler Murray couldn't have excited him.

I am 100% okay with this scenario.

I sincerely hope you are correct. It would be fantastic to see the Broncos fail that miserably after trading away premium draft picks. On the other hand, it will suck to see the Saints get two top 10 picks.

Lol. What insight is needed on something that a simple search of the results from the NFL Combine could have netted? Good luck with your "science."

This tracks with your first post pretty well.

Please go review the definition of "science" and possibly at least read the first couple of paragraphs of the "scientific method" Wiki. Maybe that elementary understanding something will make your realize how completely moronic what you posted was.

There are a lot of things that are science, what you just did is possibly the least scientific thing ever. This is what happens to people when ESPN's Sports "Science" segment is the most exposure to science they have.

Losing the draft is how you lose games. I am not advocating the top 2 or bust, but you need to believe in the guy or you simply don't take him.

Yeah, if it was all about size, Cam would still be playing now.

My point being that I don't think that size is much of a factor when it comes to being injury prone. That is usually just the specific player's body, how much damage they take over time and how they are able to heal from that damage. If the only concerns about Young are basically that he is small, that means he is a far and away the best QB in this draft.
