Biiiiiig eyeroll on this. First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs. I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy). Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started. ALL missed time. It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact. Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately. Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30. Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026? SURE! No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it. Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as a 4-6 win team. EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.

I kinda skimmed the video, I do kinda believe 28 is preeeettty low for the panthers, I mean, Basically saying we're the 5th worst team in the league when we were the 8th last year and meanwhile having an upgraded roster (and an easier schedule) almost top to bottom is kinda a meh take. Now us between 22-26, I can see it, but this is a roster with more defensive talent, more offensive depth, and more seasoned coaching, base-line I'd say is for us to essentially stay where we were last year.

I think if he stays healthy, he'll be a stretch gadget guy. If teams are sitting on short and intermediate routes, throw horn out there for a series or 2 to run fly routes, it'll only take bryce hitting on one to loosen the defense some.

I do think we'll see a pretty substantive jump in the quality of our defense this year, but it comes from multiple things. That front line is gonna be pretty impressive IMO with healthy brown, Bobby Brown, and Tershawn Warton. thats gonna open space for our LB's and Moehrig dropping into the box helping stuff the run. Evero CAN have a very successful defense, he has to have the pieces and I do think he has the pieces he needed. Lets see what his scheme cooks up with quality pieces and not just UDFAs and random JAGS.

welp, stand corrected, I wasnt sure, looked it up on google and it said joe was. Poo me away!

Agree, I've been impressed with Morgan thus far in his stint as GM. Last year, overhaul O-line, fix the middle of the line and started getting pieces to go around Bryce. I like last years draft a lot honestly. XL has shown potential, JT Sanders looked good as a rookie TE, Trev Wallace looked decent and Chau Smith Wade looked like a great value pick as well as snagging Jalen Coker UDFA. This year, I think he was playin games, might have even been sneaking some of the Tet sandbagging talk, then boosting Jalon walker, I think he wanted Tet to fall and I think he kinda knew that the the difference between "top" edge rushers and guys we got was FAR smaller than the difference between Tet to 2nd round recievers. He took Value, then doubled up on a strength of the draft WHERE the strength was highest, edge on day 2. Very well navigated on his part IMO.

why not, just kinda depth at this point. Main positive I think really is that Jaycee showed that Joe kinda showed and tutored them as to what it takes to being a pro and focus on the game.

theres sandbagging every draft, but after the pick I felt better and really felt like we tried to play some teams. I remember in december/november he was like a #3/#4 overall pick. I think teams were sandbagging hard on him. In Fairness, I think teams were also (probably us too) sandbagging Mason Graham. Teams took the bait on Tet. I had a feeling something was up when we did a personal visit with him. didnt seem like our MO. That said, I will die on the hill that IMO, we were prepared to trade back, the idea was if Ashton Jeanty fell, and I still think the Cowboys sell their soul for #8 if he was there, he wasnt so they stayed pat. Legit all of this falls in line with the rumors.

Well, not for shedeur, but Giants did what I thought. I absolutely think Dart would have been there in the second, moved up for 5th year option

Dont be shocked if one of Browns, Giants, or MAYBE saints, Raiders, or Jets could move up into the end of the first, less for the value, but for the 5th year option, same reason that we did.

Completely agree. I don't hate the defensive players, but the difference between shear Stewart and a middle second rounder isn't much to me but difference between tmac a mid 2nd receiver is massive

honestly, I love it. Rewards for production, cuts if not. We paid our own over achievers and moved on from guys who didnt do squat (or dramatic reduction in pay (IE Shy Tuttle). Players want to play for organizations that reward play, we've been kinda the opposite of that during much of the tepper term, but gotta change the perception at some point.

In fairness, he played with the guys, his job today is a lot different than it was back then. Yea, he knew ball but he wasnt breaking down tape and prospects the way he is now. He always was probably trying to be a good friend/teammate rather than breaking down why those guys are dogshit.

Dont be surprised if this happens, in fact, I REAAALLLY think it will happen. If Jeanty is there at 8 (high probability IMO that he is) then I think Cowboys will get aggressive to move up and get him. Not only is he the best RB in the class, considered the best RB in the draft and according to NFL.com is the single highest graded prospect, but on top of that he's from the Dallas metro, so on top of best RB, Jerry would also sell a ton of jerseys. Last point, Ive noticed over the years, certain GMs feel comfortable trading and working with certain other GMs and organizations, and considering Morgan made a trade of mingo last year with the cowboys tells me theres atleast a line of communication between the orgs.
