Daniel Jeremiah's Pre Draft Write Up on Luke


Black

Recommended Posts

I follow DJ on twitter, I don't follow many "scouts" or "analysts" but I like him. I can't remember who's pre draft thing he released a couple weeks ago but it was spot on as well.

I can admit I wasn't on the Luke bandwagon and was pretty pissed about the pick when it happened. Mainly because we were "deep" at the position at the time. I wanted Michael Floyd but I've wanted a WR for some time now. I was also concerned about Luke's athleticism and pass coverage ability, I bought into all the hype about his tackling numbers being inflated due to all his tackles 5-10 yards downfield. But I'am sure glad we made the pick. Never expected this pick to turn out so good. Great centrepiece for our D for a long time hopefully.

Looking back at the 2012 and 2013 drafts, you could argue that we picked Top 3 and Top 5 talent in both years with the 9th and 14th picks.  Throw in 2011 which was obviously Cam with the 1st pick, and now in 2014 we got KB with the 28th pick who is looking like a Top 10 talent.

 

Point being, we have crushed the first round since 2011.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
