It's NEVER the wrong thread for eggshell penises or Garry Cobb.

Some people just aren't smart and get real excited when they get something right. I mean just the other year Lance when at 3 who was very raw and before that Allen in the top 10. It's a bunch of nonsense.

Realistic Expectations for 4th-7th Rounders
ForJimmy replied to kungfoodude's topic in Carolina Panthers
I think positions probably change the hit %. For example you probably have a higher chance of hitting on a potential LB, RB, or ILB (definitely K/P) in rounds 4-6 than you would a premium position like QB, Edge, LT, CB etc… Teams overreach for higher valued positions and these other positions seem to have higher valued players lower in the draft. I think Mays has a higher chance to stick at OG with us, especially considering our depth there is lacking. -

What’s Tepper’s record as an NFL owner? You are what your record is according to you.

LT- Icky, RG-Corbett, and RT-Moton are pretty much the givens. Bozeman is going to either play LG or C which leaves one open position. I could see us starting with LT-Icky, LG- Bozeman, C-Elf, RG- Corbett, and RT-Moton to have 4 capable vets to help develop Icky. If Icky develops fast then Bozeman can slide to C and one of the younger guys in Brown, Mays, or BC might get their shot at LG. Love the Icky pick, but he will have some issues pass blocking early on this season. He has all the tools to be great physically and mentally. He should be a stud at run blocking pretty quickly.

I get being skeptical. Campen wasn't there to sign off on last year's OL (who weren't in the same level as Bozeman or Corbett). He also is going to be the one developing them with McAdoo running the offense. MUCH different than Brady and whoever our OL coach was last year. The QB issue is different because we constantly struck out on our top choices like Stafford, Russ, Watson etc... Rhule tried to get fancy and sign OL that can play multiple positions (just none that well). They tried a much more proven tactic this year in signing proven starters for FA OL. If there were serious about getting a QB the proper way we would have drafted Mac or Fields to compete with Darnold, but instead we thought we were smarter than everyone else and could develop him Darnold into something he isn't. Two totally different scenarios IMO if they helps you feel better about the situation. I'm not saying these OL will be the greatest, but pairing a great OL coach in Campen with proven OL talent in Bozeman, Corbett, and Moton plus a high potential pick in Icky should have a much greater chance at success than past years.

Regardless of how they turn out a huge effort was made by our staff to address this weakness. Corbett and Bozeman have been solid starters plus 2 draft picks with one being in the top 10 (arguable the best OL in the draft) shows we are serious about fixing this. If they don't work out I can't be too mad at Fitt and Company for trying. Throw in our new OL coach as well. I do get what you are staying though. I'm not crowning them out best OL in history or anything, just glad a serious effort was made to address this issue.

He went from the 2nd graded player on our OL to possibly our best backup/depth. It shows how much we have put into getting this OL better.

Nice pic!
