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 .

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
