Fox Sports three round Mock for the Carolina Panthers

Green-Beckham makes Josh Gordon look responsible. I wouldn't count on him being on our board at all.

 

He has the most pure talent as a receiver in the draft.  He spent a whole season at OU riding the pine and on the Scout Team and didn't get into trouble once.  Please don't compare him to a complete moron like Josh Gordon.

Let's not make him someone that he isn't, and that is worse than Josh Gordon. Quite the exaggeration here. If anything DGB is headed on a similar path, but he is so young, his story is just starting to be written. It is not like he stole a laptop or threw anyone on a bed full of guns (just a joke for those sensitive types.)

 

He smoked marijuana; a substance that I guarantee most on this forum have tried at least once in their life if not more.

 

He just got caught...and was in the wrong state.

 

That is all any of us know. We can assume he has a problem and that he is a bad person like the media does, or we can try not to further tarnish the namesake of a person that very well may be doing all he can to seek the help he needs.

 

Would I draft him? The talent is insane. Closest thing to Calvin Johnson that has come out since the man himself. On the other hand, 1st round guaranteed money would be hard to do.

 

I think the Panthers will pass...especially since they sat a man for an entire season for a crime that he MAY HAVE committed.

 

In my opinion though, Hardy should have played until found guilty by jury, and the Panthers would be stupid to completely write off DGB without a second thought. Schedule multiple workouts and dinners/interviews and decide face to face if this is a guy they should take a gamble on.

 

Biggest boom/ bust player in the draft...but sometimes you have to take risks. Only Gett, Rivera, and Rich can will be able to get close enough to this guy to see if he is worth it.

 

So...would I do it? If I was in a position to talk with the young man, and I see he has taken sincere steps to distance himself from that past.......Hell yes I draft him. Worth the risk to me.

No one is that desperate. If his former coaches are calling him a moron, then what makes you believe he'll pass the combine tests? Come on man...

I don't recall anyone at OU calling him a moron this past year.  Stoops (a way more reputable coach than Missouri's) came out and said nothing but good things about DGB.  Anyway, moron or not AJ Green got a 7 on the Wonderlic and KB got a 5 I think or lower.  He'll be a first round pick, wayyyyyy too much talent not to be.

    • I think at some point you top out what God gave you.  He can use leverage via his mechanics to maximize what he has and When he pays attention to it the throws are better.    IMO as a layman a lot of it is what kind of ‘headroom’ you have. The guys who are gifted don’t have to use maximum effort to get good results and stay within themselves but they have it in reserve. They can do an arm throw for substantial distance without max effort.    I think what we may be seeing with these ‘lasers’ is a throw that Bryce puts the max effort into and does his mechanics right and has his base right and it works together.    To get to the payoff here, I think his best velocity throws take dall that whereas  a naturally gifted guy doesn’t need to go full effort to get that same velocity. I have said this three or four times over the years and it never gets picked up on but the accuracy is more consistent with an easier motion and max effort can produce less predictable location. It is a baseball pitcher thing but it applies to throwing a pass too. It isn’t that you can’t make an accurate throw with full effort it is just not as reliably accurate to the same degree. Someone said something about his pro day and that is where I saw it too. He took a little extra step on the deep throws. Some call it a hitch but I don’t see it that way because I don’t see it on shorter throws. He does it trying to get distance. I saw that and just wanted no part of it at 1.1 . That is not tne characteristic of a 1.1 passer.  He should have been at best, late first  I had him second day. Of course I am no one and certainly not a pro evaluator, it is just that he WS so easy to suss out. They must have thought they could fix him. Changing a lifelong throwing motion with the footwork tied into it is not fuging easy. Anyone that had decent success with ‘their’ way and tried to change it to get more, can tell you that.     
    • Sounds like a tad bit of what Josh Allen had. He would make throws that made zero sense die to his desire to make a make. Bryce also turns the ball over believing their is an unlimited shot clock in those moments. Sometimes the best play is to reset for the next one. 
    • See, I think one of his biggest issues is he bails too early.  His instinct has been to bail as soon as defenders get behind him and the pocket starts to close in. Taller QBs hang in there for that extra second or two and throw over guys as the pocket collapses in the QBs lap.  BY runs as soon as this starts to happen, which means routes don’t have time to develop and the field gets cut in half as soon as he runs. This last game I saw some signs of him being willing to hang in the pocket when the defense gets behind him, but that has been rare.
