Can u link some examples of articles praising the pick of a TE with 28 career receptions? Not to mention he is now the de facto 2 string TE and could become starter at any moment if 88 goes down again. 

This draft screams vintage Marty and proves to me that he didn’t learn his lesson. Hopefully his days as GM are numbered. 

Have to disagree with ya man, he is going to be good. Too many people saying it was a great pick. Don't really know what u expect in 4th Rd or later.

2018 Carolina Panthers draft summary

Reasonable expectations for the drafted rookies of 2018. 

1. DJ Moore - WR - Must contribute immediately. The first WR taken in the 2018 draft means he has to produce right away. No excuses here really unless he is injured. 1000 yard season with a hand full of touchdowns would be nice and totally justify his selection. 

 

Thats extreme. Most likely he will be the number 4 option in a ball control offense

Not much they could do about that unless they packaged their two thirds or a combination of a 2nd and 3rd. There was a big run of RBs and G/C from the early to mid 2nd round. When Rashad Penny and Sony Michel were selected in the 1st round, our chances of finding an impact RB in 2nd or 3rd became slim. 

No they past over Guice twice.... arguably the best back in the draft past Barkley.

As @saltydontcare mentioned, Marty Hurney has a tendency to draft multiple prospects from the same school in a single draft. Happened in... 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2011 2018 Coincidence?

They most likely passed on Guice because of reports about him lying in his predraft interviews and his lack of accountability- showing up late to meetings and such.

I will say this about the offense. The difference between last year and this year is speed. Cam can now make teams respect his long ball and that should open up CMC. 

Speed on the outside will keep teams from clogging the middle...should help the slot, TE, and CMC make plays underneath.

i think we will be a fun offense to watch again.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Totally.  They had a guy starred on their boards that made it in trade worthy range. The risk was totally worth it.  Our case was the classic of a franchise not having a QB, do what you can to get one.  That often results being thrust into a bad situation, putting crazy pressure on 1 guy, and it becomes even worse when he's not that great.  But if we find ourselves just a few spots behind a guy we really like, I don't see a problem.   We just have to see how the season shakes out and enjoy this roller coaster.  It's not pretty at times but we somehow are 5-4 haha. If Bryce turns a page and cranks out some truly QB driven wins, then maybe we do consider just rolling with him and a Dalton replacement in 2026.  Someone like a Jarrett Stidham/Tanner McKee.   However, if he stays mostly the same (whether we fall apart or he struggles on/off but we still win some), I think you have to leave to door open for a QB in the draft.  Scout and meet with the top ones, see if any really fit what D&D want.  Maybe that guy could be Mateer.  Who knows

      Young QBs lead their teams to undefeated October

      I lived in that area for a minute, and 2 decades of BB and Brady made them delusional.  They think everyone is the 2nd coming of Brady and they're just on a short coffee break til the next dynasty.

      Bryce Young hasn't cleared 200 passing yards in a single game in that window.  Meanwhile, Rico Dowdle has put together the greatest 5 game stretch of rushing production in Panthers history.   And RBs have sort of been our thing, so there is ample competition.  This team hasn't been lead by Bryce Young in that stretch. Those wins are simplistically 3 things.  Schedule, Rico, and defense.
