Worley stopped and signed autographs for a few fans. There were much fewer fans out there this year than last. Probably due to no marquee high round offensive player.

Jeremy Cash has his work cut out for him if he plans on making the roster. He does look like his frame could put on another 15 pounds pretty quickly, that is the good news.

Charlotte's own Braxton Deaver out of Duke is expected to get a camp invite. My advice to him? Special teams, special teams, special teams. Be first down field and get some tackles.

Vernon Butler's build reminds me a lot of Trai Turner actually. Wide, wide body.

Diggin Coach McDermott's hat. May need to acquire one for OTA's

A look at the size difference in Byrd and Garrett.

Speaking of Garrett... was so impressed by his hands on Saturday. He did have a couple drops, but he really gets his hands around the ball nicely. I did not see one "body catch"

Damiere Byrd was once again running the end around on offense, and once again leaving all players in the dust. This kid has amazing speed.

Steve Wilks was in the ear of these three guys probably 85% of rookie camp. I doubt that changes from OTA's and on into training camp. They need to be brought up to speed, and fast. This will leave Richard Rodgers to coach up the safeties.

Gman note to staff- 'get a Cam pass catcher with catcher mitts for hands'. Garrett may have small hands for a guy his size, but they're big enough for a WR.

Appreciate the write up. Only question I have is does Deaver look to have decent speed? And will we keep 3 TEs on the 53 man? Or are Deaver/Sandland fighting for PS? Probably too early to tell but I'm curious. I wouldn't mind unloading Dixon if these guys can block.

Hard to say when he is playing against tryout LB's. I did see him make a nice grab by getting by Cash, so there is that.

We pretty consistently kept 3 TEs on the roster last year, and active most games.  Here's what the situation looked like for FB & TE week by week last season:

In weeks 3 -5  we only had 2 TEs on the roster, but all the other weeks we had 3, and all but 2 weeks 3 TEs were active, including the post-season.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
