What if Adams, Fournette, and Thomas are all there at 8? Who is the pick?

What do you think?

Thomas seems like the surest bet as the #2 DE in the draft dropped to 8 you'd have to take him right? Seems very intelligent, really high motor. This would be my choice, the stars just seem to align for getting a really good DE prospect and having Peppers come back, and us having DE veterans galore. 

But Fournette fits almost exactly what the team is looking for in a young power RB to groom behind Stewart and take Pressure of Cam. I'm personally a little dubious of Fournette because he's not very shifty and I don't know if his power game translates to the NFL. I'd be cautiously hopeful if Fournette was the pick. 

However Adams could end up being our very own Eric Berry , in an ideal senario with a DB coach as D-Cordinator now , with another seasoned Adams to mentor him. 

Or do you think something else might happen?

Scary thing is that I think a scenario like this may happen. QBs are going higher than people anticipate there will be trades to grab these guys with Jets, Bills, Browns, Cardinals all wanting one. I trust Gettleman will make the right choice for the franchise because they are all fantastic players. I would say Adams if he's there is the guy. You can still get a good RB and Pass Rusher in round 2. Your not getting a guy like Adams outside the top 10. Fournette would be my second choice. Thomas just does t seem like a Gettleman DE. Gettleman likes big freaks like Taco.

Trading down to get a guy like O.J, or one of the really good RBs would be great for our struggling offense. And we can use extra picks to fill the hole at WR, and add depth at LB and OT. Luke and Oher could be concussed again and we need to have better talent behind them. Should be an amazing draft with such high picks and teams looking to trade up for QBs. So sweet.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.

      Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
