Yeah if this is what coaches talked to at the combine, absolutely see why he's shooting up boards.

"That's what this staff is for." I like Richardson enough that if the staff likes him enough to take him #1 overall, I won't be chafed. Means they have a plan. However if it comes out that it was an owners pick or something, wellllllllllll...

I know this is directed at those posters who rly undervalued D.J. but tbf I think a healthy Sutton and healthy D.J. are the same tier of WR1 Some sundays they'll disappear but you're glad hey're on your roster for like 12-13 of those sundays.

I expect this. Connection is obvious but his playstyle fills a need.

He's the only reason I'm not screaming from the mountains for Rashee Rice. That said it still would help to have more than him and Shi Smith.

That hasn't stopped dumb GMs in the past tho. All it takes is one Gringson.

not directly Panthers related, but the fact that GMs are willing to play chicken w/ the WRs available is only a good thing.

Oh I'm absolutely for trading for one of the WRs rumored on the market -- Jeudy, Sutton or Hopkins would make me content at #1 for at least the next two years. I just think it'll take more picks.

Bengals don't trade often, and we're not getting Chase or Higgins, but with them losing both of their safties wonder if we can work something out for Boyd by dangling Chinn.

I agree with that, but that makes him even harder to sell off. SS even less coveted than ILB.

Thing is teams that have WRs worth trading for like Denver and AZ are looking for Capital/have their ILB & S pretty wrapped up. You have to find someone willing to take a one year contract for a player with no real position. That's a really hard sell.

Honestly rather try him as a 2nd ILB rather than shop him. His best work is moving towards the ball and I think he and Shaq play off of each other nicely. But if someone's willing to give back some nice comp then yeah sniff around.

Chinn's either our 2nd ilb, our nickel or traded. Really like this signing. Should pair with Woods nicely.

It is very ignorant yes! Literally just the Georgia game can confirm Stroud has more than functional mobility for a pocket passer. And he knew when to scramble -- When Georgia kept selling out in man, tuning his back to him -- which makes it even more impressive. Through out his film you can see him breaking the pocket to extend the play, with mixed results yes, but he's not a statue and he can scramble. The reason he didn't run? Dunno. It's the combine. Why didn't Young throw? I would've loved to see his deep ball.

That team also traded up for Goff to get him. And the team that had Stafford didn't even win a playoff game with him. That team that traded Goff also has one of the best offensive minds in NFL history as their head coach. Goff was also a better QB than Stafford last year -- who may never be the same. So, taking some of the many nuances of the Goff situation into account -- why the hell wouldn't we draft a Goff when we've had QBs like P.J. Walker, Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield before him? Keep in mind Stroud's arm is more quality than Goff's, so this comparison is only abt his ability as a pocket passer and to dissect zone defenses.

Stroud has the best combination of ceiling and floor imo. But Richardson definitely has the highest upside. I hope we go Stroud but I can talk myself into Richardson pretty easily.

The better question is "Did the Bears get fair compensation for moving out of the Top 5?" That's why Poles wouldn't move from D.J. instead of a 2nd 1st. They can get what we gave them from the Colts and still leave with Carter or Anderson.

My biggest concern abt Young is the guys he gets compared to -- Russ and Murray -- are improvisers at a time where Improvisinal play is being schemed against more and more. On top of that, his arm strength is Matt Ryan tier. It's not just the height for me.

there's not liking a guy and then there's being willfully ignorant. Stroud probably runs somwhere around a low 4.6 hig 4.7 which would put him in line with someone like Mahomes. He scrambles a lot like Mahomes too. Only when he has too. Stroud can move. He's more athletic than Goff and Cousins.

U keep saying Goff but Goff was one of the best passers in the NFL last year. Goff has also made it to a Super Bowl. Why tf wouldn't we take a guy because "He's like Goff"

I mean We can argue Baker did, one can also argue Johnny's playstyle is because of his height.

Scouts do not care abt awards. College awards mean poo in the nfl.

Would love him as depth but his health has long been a concern. Would be a B+ rotational piece tho.

You're right, now how am I gonna spend 18 weeks complaining about how bad our run defense is??? We have Derrick Brown!! just leave him as a tweener that won't hurt his development.

u think the Jason Peter potential comps have any weight? I wouldn't mind taking him if we could groom him behind Moton.
