6th Round - Carolina selects RB Tyler Gaffney, Stanford


Ruff

I give Gettleman a A- first three rounds, and a big fat F the last four rounds. This is exactly what I would have drafted in rounds 4-7.

LT

RT

LG

CB.

Yes, 100%, unapologetic needs based drafting because thats how rounds 4-7 should be. NEED

You are 100% WRONG in how you pick late. You do NOT pick for need. You pick in athletic ability...many of these guys are your ST guys. Picking a shitty OT over a better athlete at EB or LB is dumb.

Key word is "in the future"

It does nothing for us this year. You can't go into the season with six backs on the roster (Williams, Stewart, Barner, Gaffney, Tolbert, and Brockel).

Make 34 a June 1 cut....use that cap space to help get a T in FA

just read this on rotoworld fwiw

 

 

 

Gaffney projects as a No. 2 or 3 back in the pros, and may have to demonstrate special teams value to forge a long career. He's not going to push Jonathan Stewart, DeAngelo Williams or Kenjon Barner. May 10 - 5:03 PM

I'm riding with G-Man until I see a reason not to. Unfortunately for some of you, chill pills don't exist. What's crazy is that I predicted this in the "Draft's Bold Prediction" thread.

I can see him being like Alfred Morris. Not in terms of play style but type of production he can generate if given the starting role and good blocking

I think he's going to be more like Kenjon Barner.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
