hope I post this right, while trying to get the above image out of my head, but I've read from 2 different sources that we don't like Alexander out of Clemson.  He might not even be on our draft board.

Guy seems like a turd.  Not surprised and actually very happy to hear.

Alexander doesn't have the size we like....

but he is going to be a beast

forced to trade-up in Round 2 to get one of the three remaining CBs available (MacKenzie Alexander, Xavien Howard, Kendall Fuller), I will simply assume we will stay put

I'm not sure those are the only good CBs available.

This CB class seems quite deep.  What about players like Harlan Miller, Cyrus Jones, Zach Sanchez, Deiondre Hall?  I'm sure I'm forgetting a few....  Personally I think there are some good CBs likely to be found in rounds 3 and even 4 or 5.  So I'm not so stressed about grabbing a CB tonight.

I'd rather see us get either a very good offensive talent (Shepard or one of the Henrys, for instance) a very solid safety (Cravens?) or a pass-rushing DE.  Those are the positions I think have the best value in the 2nd...

[Sorry, I quoted you and commented too soon.  I realize by the players you then go on to mention as round 3 prospects that we're basically on the same page.  Sorry... sleep deprivation has me very tired given the 5 hour time difference which had me up from 12 - 2 a.m. my time to try and follow the draft last night (I confess I fell asleep before the Panthers picked and only woke up at 5 again after our pick was long done...).  So ... feel free to ignore my comment.]

I listed Miller, Jones and Sanchez as options in the 3rd round... Did you only read my 2nd round options?

Yeah, sorry.  I jumped the gun.  I sort of zoned out while reading your comment.  Just gave you pie.  Agree with all you wrote.  Sorry, just too tired.  Need to get some sleep soon if I'm going to follow any of tonight's draft or the Hornets game.  It really is tough being 5 hours later than the East Coast right now....

They are--to me, there were 2 elite CBs and there are about 12 in the "above average category, depending on what you need.  We need a starter,  but I think it is also a time to maybe grab depth too.

I think we are going to draft either a WR, DE, or SS in the second, a CB in the third--based on where I expect value to be.  Today is going to be the fun day....

I don't see it. I hope fans don't put that kind of pressure and expectation on him right away. 

 

He reminds me more of Hines Ward more than anyone. 

Hines Ward...have to disagree there.  Faster, shifter than Ward.  Very competitive like SS so I agree there.  Shepard will be very good.

      CBS does not think Bryce makes the leap

      By frankw · Posted

      It would be nice to see #9 prove people like this laughably wrong. That's why many Panthers fans myself included were wanting to see how much time he'd dedicated to his craft following the conclusion of the season but then he showed up and let everyone know he pretty much crawled under a rock. Somehow the Panthers social team though this was rather amusing after what we'd sacrificed for the rights to draft him It's interesting that we go from Levis being least desirable of the class and a complete and total meathead that would alienate himself from his teammates to being talked up as possibly emerging as one of the better young QB's entering the 2024 season. Man what a whirlwind the last 12 months have been for the people who fully bought the hype machine in the lead up to the 2023 NFL draft and did victory laps like they had their very own sports almanac from BTTF. Life comes at you fast folks.

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      You either need to do waaay more drugs or waaay less drugs, your current intake is not right. Sorry I can not advise on which path to take.

      The franchise guy Carolina Panthers Deep Dive

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      He's routinely a great watch.  Good content.  I like his optimism on Chubba in our scheme, allows us to bring in Brooks at an optimal pace relative to his recovery (who we got obviously to be our new guy, could become the focal point of this offense) The two news OGs will have no issue playing our offense coming from familiar schemes, one in Hunt being league top, is going to be huge for our running game more than anything.  I also liked him maintaining some optimism with Icky.   Seeing his page and commentary on our defense really puts in perspective how much turnover we have.  It should feel like a much different team (hopefully better) especially that front-7.  Jewell is going to be better than people expect, he was super unheralded for Denver and is just a smart closer who played against the Chiefs routinely well.
