I trust that Proehl will show him his ceiling which is a scary scary thought for opposing teams.

 

Dude will be surrounded by Vets and not to mention Proehl. If any WR has a chance to learn it will be him. Not to mention it does not hurt that your QB is 6'5" as well so your not going to get too many low passes.

My concerns are pretty well documented in more detail here. 

 

WEAKNESSES

 Lacks elite, top-end speed and many catches are contested. Hand use could improve releasing vs. tight, press coverage. Overly grabby. Is not yet a nuanced route runner and does not sink his hips and pop in and out of his breaks. Does not shake many defenders after the catch. Will make the easy concentration drop and focus could stand to improve at the break point (three drops vs. Florida). Seeks to run before securing the ball and double-catches more than he should. Blocking effort/sustainability has room to improve on the move. Has a 32 1/2-inch vertical jump and recorded the slowest 60-yard shuttle time (12.10 seconds) of any receiver at the combine.

Not very excited about this pick.  He's a project, has the size of a tight end, and I don't know if he's all that mature.  It might be three years before we get the best out of him.  Not too mention he only recently began to shape up during the middle of the collegiate season.  Who knows if that was just a blimp or not.  Just too many question marks with this guy.  For a team who needs good players that are expected to start, this is a questionable pick in my book.  He better lose that weight.

Also...the Panthers don't have a very good history with receivers from USC (See Dwayne Jarrett and Keyshawn)

 

And Colbert...

 

I loved Lee, hell I loved Woods last year

 

but this was definitely eating at me

I was buying into Morgan Moses but I love the KB pick.  What I'm really excited about is that from rumors earlier today (Voth) and how fast we turned in the pick he might have been the plan all along.  Which tells me that Gettlemen really, really likes him.  And since I think G-man is a fantastic judge of talent that tells me that KB is even more talented than I thought.  

 

I liked Cooks a lot but I just wanted something different since we've had Smitty all these year although I'm not happy at all he went to the Saints.  With this draft being so deep at WR I could see us getting another really good WR in the 2nd.  A WR who in last years draft would be in the bottom of the 1st round.  

 

Love the KB pick and can't wait to see what my Panthers do tomorrow.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes I to account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as a treading water year. I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked.

      think these smaller Qb's are going to have a much harder time convincing an NFL team to draft them. not saying a smaller Qb under 6 feet tall will not make an NFL roster .it will most likely be a UDFA contract more or less prove it deal.NFL teams have been burnt time & time again investing in these small NFL Qbs & i think  teams are now finally starting to realize that investing in these smaller Qb's under 6 feet tall is simply a bad idea  ...just saying
