friendly reminder about the draft

The draft is always "crazy" but this year its likely going to be even moreso, so I wanted to put down a few friendly reminders

 

A) Teams don't draft with the intent to help the Panthers, so that second round gem you felt really smart for finding is gonna go way higher than the pick you think he should, which is coincidentally a panthers pick. Obi Melinfonwu seems like a prime candidate for this. Look for the guy you were so sure the panthers would get in the 2nd round to go top 12.

2) the inverse of this is that the player you've been campaigning for months for the panthers to take at 8 overall may be there at 40. This isn't going to be christian McCaffrey so accept that, but I could very well-if you forced me to guess-see Derek Barnett falling. (Though probably not that far) There is of course that reality that we end up with a player you've never heard of and everybody gets mad. If I had to guess, I'd say pick 40 will be a somewhat notable player that slipped, but that you've never heard of the player we take at 64. (Provided we stand pat)

D) ESPN is actually the superior option on day 3 of the draft. NFLN will shift all their coverage to discussing who the cowboys and patriots selected two days prior and will completely disregard picks at that point, but ESPN (for all its flaws) actually shows highlights and discusses every player drafted deep into the grind. Bear in mind, the networks willfully go to commercial breaks whenever the panthers are on the clock.

 

 

bonus: every single poster here has access to twitter, and tipping the picks early doesn't make you an "INSIDER." We'd all like to be able to discuss the draft on here without having Mr. Wannabe All-Access racing back and forth to the huddle to tip the picks ahead of time, so thanks.

Another pro tip:

 

There is more than one round, so don't get on here and throw a tantrum Thursday night when we didn't select x position.

That's fine as long as G-MAN doesn't give up 3 picks to draft one player we could have gotten anyways...

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
