Wonder how much tepper paid him to only say nice things

They split qb snaps and he's the #2 qb on his team production wise.

There are 8 teams.

Corall is :

9th in yds

9th in TDs

11th in attempts 

They are limiting him as much as possible and relying on their 3 top runners

That’s the one!  Pretty big one for a RB

Why did you say injury prone? 

I think the meddling thing is overblown and copium. Folks need a boogie man to throw all blame on.

Owners are going to be prominent in draft rooms.

Looked for a Tepper thread to ask this. Did people know that when Ben Navarro was still in play to buy the team, he asked John Lynch to run things for him? 

Listening to a Lynch interview he makes the claim (really bored, but hey, I never hear that one).

Kind of odd. He was already GM of the 49ers and just going in to his second season when the sale was unfolding.

Neither have won anything

We know he can catch get open win the jump ball....wait till he gets drilled by an nfl caliber player... how might that change him....

Like every other rookie. Do you have a point other than grasping for negatives?

Bootlicking like you're getting paid for it isn't any better.

That term doesn't mean what you think it does apparently.

Anyone remember Riggo and the Hogs? They would run rough shot over today's 230lb linebackers and your $150 million edges like Burns. Maybe Canales is the Messiah. Run Riggo run, then chunk it deep for Arty Monk!

In 1980 the linebackers were 220lbs - 230lbs and the defensive tackles were 260-270.

Riggins would get dropped quickly

Given how many a proponents of tanking we have I would assume the same would be in favor of riding Young the whole way.

He's either playing well or bad enough to get a high pick. No?

I'm always for drafting offensive lineman so yes a little disappointed here.

The Huddle is back!

give it enough time and itd always the same handful moaning all day everyday like they are getting paid for it

I don't think Sanders has the value you think he does. Right now I wouldn't trade a bag of chips for his services.  Fitterer was an idiot for giving him that contract. He's the number 2 RB in this crappy team and he's paid like a number 1. I hope he's cut the 1st chance they get.

Non of that is relevant to my point though.

I'm not saying he's worth being traded for based on his year on the Panthers. I'm suggesting that he may be more like his career average and a contender might need vet rotational piece and some deal could be made that's any tiny bit better than just dumping him.

Weren't Icky and Grier both Panthers fans too?

Yes and Gilmore and Clowney . What's the point?

Yeah some of these sites gave Detroit bad grades last year for “reaching” on players they drafted. The fact is they got the players they wanted and had a good vision for them. 

Exactly. Look at this poo

https://www.si.com/nfl/lions/news/lions-2023-nfl-draft-grades

Sanders was a 5 yds per carry career guy over 4 seasons until he came to this dumpster fire of coaching and OL injuries.

It's not insane to think he could be more productive in a new system behind a bolstered interior line. Cutting him helps nothing.

The very best scenario is to give him the ball and if he looks good hope for a mid season trade for something while Brooks gets back to 100%. Such as a serious contender responding to injuries needing vet help. (Chiefs, etc)

Look at the roster and who we had at each. The OLB two deep was set. The inside wasnt.

The inside depth chart needs a lot help than outside is a better way to say I suppose

This argument is so bogus. NFL teams aren’t limited to 1 separator on each team. The more the merrier, as they say. Just bc we have DJ does not mean we have to have a bunch of other WRs that can’t get open

True but variety of types is valid and the coach (especially one of his background) selecting deliberately is understandable.

I was quoting anyone. I was just asking if we got any "A" players in this draft. The best I saw were players being graded in the "B or C" range. Just asking a question.

What's there to grade in April?

Why all the ILB's and no help on edge?

Nothing.  It's April

If grunt work is whiffing on blocks then he is earning his money. He's basically a 6th lineman. Blocking in space is not his thing. 

I admit to not paying close attention to it but I've not heard anyone outside this community say he's not a good blocker. Just the opposite

We knew why Brenton was here. He mowed Jerry's grass. Ian is a complete mystery. 

He's worthy of being on the roster for the grunt work but not at his salary. Ideally he would stay at greatly reduced salary. 

Unfortunately TEs are either receivers or blockers. I heard it said Gronk was last true TE
