nothing about this guy impresses me that much. Good running back from SEC yes.  I think they're better backs than him that aren't getting as much hype.  5'10 214 and a 4.56. Not an instinctive runner. Not very agile. 

Pass for me.

Only average inside power and not a short-yardage runner who will create push. Patiently allows plays to develop, but his occasional over-patience will border on hesitant, allowing defenders to reset and square him up. Tunnel vision and sporadically picks his spots. Ball security is a concern with seven fumbles the past two seasons (wtf?), averaging one fumble every 40.6 offensive touches. Willing and tough in pass protection, but lacks nuance and needs technique work. Has only one game in his career with 20+ offensive touches in a single game and hasn't been relied on to be the feature backfield weapon. Immature past and was arrested shortly after leaving Alabama for driving on a suspended license and failure to appear (Feb. 2014). Was also suspended twice by Nick Saban during the 2013 season for behavioral reasons. Past knee issues, including a left knee sprain that forced him to miss three games in 2016.

 

I'm wlling to forgive behavioral problems that happned years ago especially when these kids were like 18 19 years old, I'm just purely looking at football stuff that's a red flag for our offense. If the Panthers want someone like Kamara that bad they may as well get mccaffrey earlier instead he's the best version in this draft of an elusive speed runner who doesn't focus on the power game.

Yeah that's pretty terrible

He's got the best balance in the class, and Tennessee was way too stubborn giving Hurd the ball so he didn't really get a great opportunity to show what he had as an every down back.  Way too aggressive trying to get extra yards which caused him to fumble a lot more, and i'm not sure that can be fixed.  Great receiver and excellent with angles.  Probably not a great fit for us but could be a solid pass catching option.

As time gets closer if LF is there he is the pick if not I am leaning more and more for Ross he is better than deSean Jackson

If he stays healthy. well the talent pool is so good at 8, I don't think the Panthers can mess up this pick unless they reach for a OT.

      Lol. The Texans are literally one of Bryce's six career NFL wins. WTF are you talking about?

      Yeah, I mean it is a statistical fact and also part of literally a player evaluation. Winston has literally lost dozens of games in his NFL career due to crippling TO's. It's just who he is. Look, it's fun when those insane throws work and he is leading you back from some crazy deficit. But those success are rare. It's why his career GWD count is so low. He's fun but he is fundamentally built to lose games.  If you are talking about a backup QB, you are literally already losing in the first place. That's how you see a backup QB and that's overwhelmingly what they tend to do. Rookie QB's almost always benefit from veteran QB's. Same as literally any other position in the NFL. Why do you think that you so often hear that from the playera themselves? As for Bryce NEEDING one, no he sure as poo shouldn't this late in the game. But he also shouldn't have needed this fuging long to get his fuging footwork straightened out either. Yet here we are.

      Comfortability is the primary reason. They don't want to hurt Bryce's confidence. But I say if his confidence is that fragile that healthy competition which makes everyone better is enough for them to keep making Andy Dalton rich then Bryce was never going to be the guy anyway. Give me the QB who sees the competition amongst his peers and uses it to take it to the next level. Instead we get the guy who comes out looking like a deer in the headlights against the Texans after we've done everything possible to appease him. Definition of complacency.
