Last week they had Ridley falling to us.  This week we take a SS type of player.  Thoughts

Players I found of interest taken after us.

Mark Anderson TE Oklahoma (slotted for Jacksonville)

Denzel Ward CB Ohio State (Slotted for Philly)

Chukwama Okorafor OT Western Mich (Slotted for Minnesota)

I think any of these could be as good as a WR.   Anderson is a big guy and could really bring the two TE set that was so effective with Chudzinski.

What's kinda interesting IMO, is that we essentially are ending up with 2 rookie classes because of how much young talent got IR'd last year.  We had 7 picks, 3 of them got IR'd and 1 is a pro bowler on another team (I'm not salty about that at all....).  Corn Elder, Curtis Samuel, and Daeshon Hall all essentially got redshirted, so it's gonna be up to them how they advance in the offseason, but basically next year they come in as rookies as well.  Also, still got Armah and Moton who neither got any significant playing time.

This is the first mock I've seen with Miller in the 1st round. Most have him in 2/3. 

 

That being said, I'd be okay with it. He has everything - route running, hands, aggressively fights for the ball, fast (albeit not as fast as steve smith), and ridiculous production. I think there's a solid chance he'll be the best WR in this draft in 2-3 years. The comparisons I've seen thrown around are Steve Smith/Antonio Brown. Not to say he'll actually be that good, but that's the mold he fits most.

 

Anthony Miller and Deshon Elliot in the first and second would make me very happy.

Miller is pretty dang good...dont want to dare make a comparison on who he looks like...

Those that compare him to Steve Smith don't do the kid any justice. You're talking about a potential HOFer.  S. Smith was not only a great receiver he was one helleva athlete.  For his size he had the most amazing vertical leap I have ever seen and was strong as an ox.

We could go on and on about how strong he was.

That said, if they think he plays like SS.  I certainly wouldn't bypass him just because of his size.

Maybe Derwin James will have a bad combine and fall to us.  Best player overall in the draft, IMO.

Well really top notch players ramcyk and Ruben foster fell all the way down to the end of r1 last year. And I remember also Jonathan Allen and Malik hooker were projected to go top 5 in early projected but fell to mid round due to injury concerns 

I like Miller too he's probably my favorite WR in the draft . Has speed but maybe most importantly serious toughness and makes contested catches . Steve Smith comparison is a bit far fetched .

It's kinda interesting that they have us selecting Miller over Kirk and only 3 WR taken in round 1.  They're pretty similar players with good college WR production , Kirk seems to be faster but Miller possibly stronger or better at contested catches . I'd be happy with either of them honestly

Would not be surprised if we got a WR in r1 and went defense the rest of the way . Maybe Olsens injury will scare them enough to get a TE or if they are stew we could get a RB too .

      Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.

      I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.

      Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
