The NFL kinda sucks at evaluating TEs to be honest. It's not a super premium position but highly drafted TEs routinely disappoint while some of the best TEs in the league were mid-rounders. Kittle, Schultz, Andrews, etc.

The rookie wage scale changed the risk/reward analysis big time. QB is by FAR the most valuable position. So if youu don't have a franchise QB and you think there's a guy on the board who might be able to develop into one and you're protected from having to pay him big money you almost have to take him. That combined with the league emphasizing offense with practically every rule tweak is why we're seeing guys who in years past would've probably been 2nd round picks going in the top half of the 1st.

I sure as hell hope he's better than them. Hell, I wouldn't bet any money on TMJ being on the final roster.

Pretty wild for 6 QBs to go in the top 12 then zero from picks 13 though 100. Definitely reinforces the notion that there was a huge drop off after the first six. I just thought we'd see a decent drop off after the first four. I figured Nix and Penix would go somewhere between the late first and the end of the second. Definitely didn't see either in the top half of the first.

Sanders or Stover at TE Booker or Kamara at EDGE Limmer at C Franklin, Rice, Washington, or Walker at WR Carson at CB

It's possible. But he's definitely heavy handed. Hell, he doesn't even try to hide it. He'll tell anyone who'll listen that he has veto power on these decisions.

That's a really good landing spot for Wilson. Pittsburgh knows LBs.

He's a definite possibility.

It's Tez Walker.

There went my RAS king. I'll have to revise my #101 prediction.

He's probably been red flagged by a lot of teams due to medicals. Understandably.

Tell that to KB. Yeah, ACL recovery has improved dramatically in recent years but it's still a major injury and not all guys bounce back from it.

I think you missed what I was getting at. It's this guy. He's either literally making the decisions or dominating the decision making process in terms of weighting the evaluation metrics because we're making the exact same types of picks.

So far the Brooks pick is our best draft pick. Let that sink in. A RB coming off an ACL is our best pick so far.

We might see a double dip with our next pick if he lasts.

Very different runners. Corum will give them a much more physical runner to pair with Williams.

This honestly feels like another Fitterer draft. Probably because it might as well be. I don't think the decision maker has actually changed.

He definitely has a very concerning injury history, that's for sure. He's a helluva player though. I'll give him that.

Wilson or Gray are both significantly better LBs and I'm not just saying that because they're local prospects. I'm saying it because they're better LBs.

You too can be a Carolina Panthers scout. Just look at our positions of need and see who has the highest RAS of the available players. That's your pick.

Another RAS obsession pick.

Yes.

He's a good LB but being Carolina's best defender in recent years is kinda like being the best post-Cam Panthers QB. It ain't saying much.

I think it's gonna be Ja'Tavion Sanders. We're gonna try to do everything we can to give Bryce a fair evaluation this year.

This band entertainment is maximum boomer. What is this poo? Send them back to the cruise ship they escaped from.
