also goes along with this thread:

Per league sources, NFL Draft has 16-19 top players; "20th pick same as 50th pick"

the smaller amount of high-end talent in this draft makes it tougher on GMs, but fortunately Gettleman has assembled a top-notch scouting department and he knows which of our scouts to trust the most:

like the scout said:

"I love this draft, I absolutely love it," he said. "This is a scout's draft. If you are the average GM and you didn't go see these kids play a lot this year and you weren't watching film all year, you're screwed. You have to have watched the tape all season. You have to have really seen these kids, and there is no way you can find the time to watch all 12 games on them in the offseason. You have to have seen these players develop all year long to have the right track on them.

"This is my kind of a draft. Am I saying this group is loaded with Pro Bowlers? No. But there are some really good players who are going to go on the second and third day who, I'm telling you, are going to be better than a lot of kids who go on the first day. You just have to know where to find them."

etc

No disagreement here.  There are a few intriguing safety prospects in this draft, but none that excite me at #25.  The TE class looks like hot trash.  Maybe the worst in recent memory.  Terrible year to need a TE.  I haven't paid much attention to the ILB class for obvious reasons.

Perfect angle to take, and so true. Guys like Rob Crisp and Andrew Donnell could end up surpassing the TJ Clemmings and Ereck Flowers of this draft, IMO. Same can be said at so many positions..... It's times like this that we should all be thankful for a GM like Gettleman.

Damn, I can't wait till tomorrow night!

The 16-19 players with a first round grade thing is a bit overplayed. I heard Polian on the radio say the average draft usually only has 22 or 23 players with a first round grade per team. Less than average but it's not some terrible draft at the top.

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick, as opposed to bringing in a vet to start until the rookie is ready. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing.

      Lot of passion there.  Look, if Bryce plays down to the level that we feel the need to draft a QB high, you don’t think the locker room might be ready for anything that helps them win?   There are s lot of angles to this that could come into play depending on what happens this year.
