While we are on the topic of due diligence with receivers, Carolina WR coach Lance Taylor flew into Penn State’s Pro day a day early to meet with WR Daesean Hamilton, and worked him out at the pro day. Hamilton checks every box CAR needs at receiver and would be around R2-3.

Dudes projected as a round 4-5 guy.

Maybe a option if he falls into the 5th

Lol not a chance.

Hamilton isn’t the most flashy guy but he’s a good WR. Knows how to play the position. He’s someone I really want. 

No problem with picking him in the 2nd

This is true. Hamilton and Fountain (whom we also had a meeting with at the SB) were rated round 5 and UFA respectively and unless I missed something didn’t rock the combine. I like them both but don’t want them so bad that we should overdraft them.

Exactly. He's not a hyped guy by the media so if we do take him at #55 this board will explode with negativity. But if you really study the players in this draft you will know this guy is a good player.

The media guys are generally pretty good at predicting 1st round guys and to a degree 2nd round guys, but once it gets into the mid-rounds it’s a crap shoot. Probably in no small part due to grades on those guys varying significantly team to team due to scheme and exactly what they’re looking for.

Part of me thinks they aren’t  going to resign Funchess... All of me thinks Matt Ryan wears braided belts.-

What gives you that impression?

The Panthers always make terrible offseason decisions, so you can expect a massive extension for Devin.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
