Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

I think this shows that all of us should finally start to trust our FO, especially our GM. This aint Madden, which some on here will perhaps never understand. I love the fact we kept all of our picks except for an injured RB and sneaked two undrafted Rookies into the final 53. Gettle & Co. know.

The sixth round pick and all four 7th round picks of the Rams were cut. Not good enough.

 

 

The Panthers keep all of their picks and also three UDFA......

 

 

hmmmmmm

 

It's a funny world. We traded our 7th to move up for Bene in the 5th who made the squad. Gaffney tore his knee on his first run which somehow led to us finding Fozzy. Anybody regretting that pick-up?

 

It's hard for 6th and 7th rounders to stick. Guys like Hardy don't come around often. Munnerlyn is the only other late rounder I can think of off hand that made an impact.

 

Other than Sam, who did STL release? never even heard of them. Gilbert I remember reading we scouted as a UDFA prospect.

 

Panthers sucking on the UDFA teet for Oline talent. Bell and Chandler too.

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
