He doesn't seem like a top 10 pick, but I could actually see him helping our offense as much as any pick out there.

Fournette might be the better prospect but he might just be a slightly better version of something we already have (Stewart). Whereas McCaffrey or even Ross would actually add an element to our offense. 

People seem to get hung up on wether or not a player is "worthy" of a draft spot.  We could always trade down.  DG seems to like to chase need by trading up but you can possible do the same by trading down.

I would think if you traded down to that 12-15 range you would still have a good chance of getting at least one of McCaffrey, Ross, Davis, or Njoku.  Any of those four would be a nice addition to our offense.

I still think trading down with a mid round team is probably the best thing the Panthers could do in this draft. Still have a top 20 pick, and with the picks we get in the trade added already to our existing couple of second rounders, that's a lot of ammo to trade back into the 20s and get another first round player especially if someone good drops unexpectedly. And still have at least one 2nd and 3rd rounder after all that is done, along with all our other picks intact.

Personally I like keeping all of the picks but trading back up would be tempting. 

Instead of 8 and 64 you could have something like 15 and 30.

He's white. LOL!

Good God really!

lol to be fair I can't recall a good white RB ever.... Last one was Peyton Hillis of the browns and that lasted like 1 season before he was never heard of again. Not saying it cant happen but its kinda sad when I can only think of 1 white rb in the past 15 years to do anything note worthy. You have to go pretty far back into the history books to find another one.

John Riggins from the 1970's and 1980's is the last one that comes to mind for me.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
