Opinion: with Short signed, WR time in this draft

With this signing, it looks like The Dline has been solidified for a few years (have to replace Pep in a year or two and maybe CJ, future issues). Most draft wizards have us looking at WR in the late 2nd to 3rd round, or even later. Is it  time to finally get that guy who can take this passing game to the next level or should they look in the later rounds. Thoughts please.

If the staff thought WR was a concern, I feel like they would have sniggered around Corey Davis or Mike Williams more, especially since they will be there at #8 by all accounts.

I'm not thrilled with the guys we have brought in for visits/workouts. I think they are targeting WRs in with one of their 2nd round picks. Based on who we brought in that basically means Chris Godwin, Zay Jones, and Carlos Henderson. Everyone else is basically projected in the late round or UDFA.

Problem is we have noone to groom at DE, save Larry Webster and Ryan Delaire. CJ, Addison, and Pep are pretty long in the tooth.  I could see us drafting a project guy later (Tanoh). Only way I see us going D-line in the first would be for Thomas, if he somehow fell. Other than that, 8 will be used on LF7, OJ, or Christian Mac IMO. 

As far as WR goes, I'm thinking our 1st second round pick will be used on Zay Jones or Obi if we don't package picks to back into the latter part of the draft. 

"Offense needs to evolve" 

"Shula pleaded for another TE last year, noting that teams had figured the scheme out" . 

1st: OJ

2nd: Obi 

3rd: Godwin/Henderson

4th: Tanoh 

5, 6, and 7 packaged to move back in the 4th: BPA Oline.

Draft Over

So many option Noone knows where Gman could go or end up..

It's looking like they are concerned with a slot guy, but they don't seem too pressed to get the flavors of the day. Either they're not believing the hype, or they figure they can acquire better value in rounds two and/or three.

Zay Jones got tons of production against arguably inferior talent (like Davis), but his TD totals are surprisingly low. For the third time, I will say that Godwin could turn out to be just as good as any receiver in this draft. He really could emerge as the best in the class. Henderson may be sneaky good as well.

I'm fine with who they've brought in. Just surprised that Davis hasn't been here.

Godwin is growing on me. It's a flip of a coin right now between him and Henderson for me in the 2nd.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
