Jourdan Rodrigue's excellent/exciting/realistic Panthers mock draft

Round 1, Pick 8

O.J. Howard, tight end, Alabama.

I grow more committed to this pick as the days pass.

Many draft analysts project Howard as a top-10 pick, and I agree. I also think the idea of Howard, a fast, strong pass-catcher with the uncanny ability to create space against tight coverage, lining up opposite of Greg Olsen in a two-tight-end set would send a shiver through the NFC South.

Howard not only is a formidable presence as a receiver but also can really block in pass protection if needed. Quarterback Cam Newton certainly needs all the help he can get in that department, and weaponizing the offense is probably the biggest item left on the Panthers’ to-do list after some offensive line tasks were tidied up in free agency.

Gettleman’s inner monologue: “It’s very possible that Leonard Fournette, another sure top-10 pick, gets selected before the we pick at No. 8. We need explosive offensive playmakers, and Fournette has been projected often to go at No. 8. But while there are many backs that are similar to Fournette in this year’s draft, there are few all-around complete offensive packages like Howard. This is the ‘best player available’ mentality correlating with ‘most needed’ and ‘best fit.’ Ah, cohesion.”

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      I agree with OP notion, QBs always get credited for game winning drives even if they do minimal. Just last night Caleb got credited for a GE drive when they basically ran the ball the whole drive and only had to go 36 yards.   And there are drives where Bryce could of had a game winning drive if not for a Legette drop vs Philly or a Chubba fumble vs Tampa

      You are actually, genuinely comparing Bryce to Jimmy fuging Pickles? Jimmy accounted for 3 touchdowns in his 10 starts in 2010. In Bryce’s 10 games post benching last year, he accounted for 20 touchdowns. Jimmy threw three touchdowns in 2010. Three. Bryce has thrown 10 touchdowns through 6 games. He is currently on track to throw for 3300 yards, 28 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Wtf are we even talking about anymore. I mean seriously

      Tepper? The guy that directs the coaches towards goals that he set for them… that guy. He is the one.    I don’t think he ever was going to be expelled from class, they had him come in for garbage time maybe the 2nd week he was benched.  I will say this. People said he wasn’t under pressure the last part of the year when he did better, but he was fighting for his career and that’s pressure. And he saved his career too. I don’t reject him for those kinds of things I reject him for the physical things. I have always brought it down to he has slim margin for error and has to be perfect. People with the tool set have a little fatter margin for error. Why make it harder on yourself? Got nothing to do with hating him.  I am no statistician but game that margin thing out a lot and see how that works.
