Nah, didn't look good this year and bailed on his team.

Yeah the bailed on team part is the kicker. Not sure what happened but doesn't pass the smell test.  Very unfortunate because his measurables are off the charts good and he had the potential to be great value in a RB loaded draft.  Jalen Hurd's don't grow on trees physically.

Extra sad because the Supplemental Draft this year puts us in the top 10 of every round lottery while likely picking at the end of every corresponding round in 2018.

Pass, there are plenty of backs that are better.

Don't disagree, but we have multiple needs and the pick would likely be a late 2018 one, allowing us to keep our picks this year.

Haven't really followed his story.

Details?

5 star talent out of high school, dark horse Heisman candidate entering the year, off the charts physical height/weight/speed measurements, bell cow back, good receiver out of the backfield, projected 2nd Round 2017 pick last offseason-had a falling out with teammates and coaches, said he would transfer, didn't, now in no man's land-Supp Draft.

I'd like to know more about the "falling out".

I don't really know his story but If he is talented, why not? It wouldn't be costly. If money doesn't convince him to show a little more dedication, then he is out of the league.

He's talented.  Might definitely make for an interesting decision in July if RB is not a value pick with any of our 8 picks.  The stink of him leaving Tennessee is rotten, but from a skill standpoint there'd be huge value for a likely late 2018 pick.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
