Panthers should use a 4th

Would that be enough?  He had a 2019 1st Round Grade per the video and the Panthers would be grouped with the playoff teams in the lottery, meaning if the Cowboys or Bucs for example bid a 4th, they’d get him.

I don't think we ever do anything in the supplemental draft. Have we ever?

No, risk usually doesn’t equal reward since the player inevitably has at least some baggage.

But never has a 6’3 DB with big upside from Charlotte entered to my knowledge.

usually if there is off field concerns, you don't want the player coming back to the town where they may have began.  Same reason Honey badger didn't want to go home to New Orleans, didn't want to run with the boys he used to.

I don't know if that situation applies here, and I'd love to have him, but I'm 100% sure we'll roll with Bradberry and Jackson.

Academic ineligibility isn’t a great sign, but hardly a capital offense.  Too bad he didn’t go to UNC and take AFAM.  

Bottom line is a 6’3 DB, even as a project, in this division IS a risk worth taking.  The question is how high of a risk.

wasn't there something else off the field beyond academic ineligibility?

A pot charge in 2016.  Meh.  Maybe a 4th is appropriate, I dunno, but I do wonder if it’s enough given his upside and the other teams higher in the bid/lottery order.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
