With 25 hours to go before the draft gets underway, let us make our predictions on who we take at 30.

 

DT  -  Vernon Butler - Louisiana Tech

Butler was visited multiple times by the Panthers during the pre-draft season. Dave Gettleman and the front office like to draft those whom they’ve met with at least once. And keep in mind, we still need a 3-technique DT.

Impossible to predict with all the action ahead of us.  Could be DE, DT, CB or WR

 

My big prediction is for the 2nd year in a row Dave makes a move and moves up in 2nd round for a guy.

Jumping on Igo's pick OP?  I haven't a clue to be honest, but I will guarantee there will be a 30 page thread bitching about it.

Ahh so that's what the All-Pro Vernon Butler thread is about.  Btw, which mod should I message that I'm unable to get all-pro?  The payment section doesn't load when I try to sign up.

You'll have to ask someone else about the technical poo around here.  I had to beg him to take my money to be All-Pro a few months ago because I had trouble signing up myself.   Think he's filtering out the riff raff or something.

Gettleman shocks us by going offense. Hunter Henry in Round one and trades up until the second for Sterling Shepard. There's a reason we met with more WR than any other group. With a more potent and versatile offense, and more weapons for Cam with Benjamin back, we take more pressure off our defense.

      Some Tet appreciation

      He has a lot to work on for sure but he has been a huge boost to the offense. It's nice to finally have an elite WR.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By strato · Posted

      We have been on that roller coaster ride already. He needs to have streaks far longer than a couple of good games.  People raved about the Green Bay game in 2023. Which was mostly a good 2nd half and hot 4th quarter.  Ask me what happened the next four games, if you don’t remember. or just go look them up. There isn’t much to see.  The end of last year had some good things and one excellent outing, and look up what followed that, which you won’t have to but he came out this year looking like week 1 2023.  Now he is on a game and a half streak, against a bad Miami team and lowest rated defense in the league - at home.  This is the reality in the big picture. He needs to break his pattern, in a positive way.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This "noodle arm" characterization just baffles me. There's way more involved in a successful downfield passing attack than simple air yards. Let's take two stat-lines for throws of 40+ air yards (no YAC) from the last 3 seasons: 5/29 (17%) for 3 TDs and 2 INTs 1/9 (11%) for 1 TD So with three times the number of attempts, you net +6% completion percentage, the same TD rate, and 2 arm punt INTs to boot. The first player is Mahomes, the second is Bryce. Clearly Bryce attempts these throws at a much lower rate, but his success rate is quite similar to one of the most talented downfield throwers of all time. The takeaway isn't that Bryce is Mahomes-lite (if he was his usage rate for these would be much higher) but that these throws by their very nature are extremely difficult, very scheme-specific, and even an elite thrower can have wildly differing success rates season by season. And before we get into the complaints of cherry-picking, this is far more substantial information than the various insinuations that Bryce struggles to even get the ball 20 yards downfield, much less 40+. And the wildest part of this is that every time Mahomes threw a bomb over the last 3 season, 83% of the time the end result was failure, yet many Chiefs fans complain that he isn't taking even more shots downfield.
