Would have had to forgo drafting Little in the 2nd to do it. Considering Christian Miller got 2 sacks in his NFL debut, I'm comfortable for the moment with who we did get.

Well at the moment, Greg Little may not pan out for reasons that no one could have expected.....

And I thought I wanted Gary or Sweat over Burns. Burns is killing it. Another underrated rookie is Chase Winovich (3 sacks). But Burns is also a very good st player coming off the edge to block punts. 

I wanted Sweat over him for sure. Definitely eating a healthy and delicious portion of crow over that.

Meh. It sucks at the moment. But if Little's talent is truly as promising as his play against the Texans suggested, long term he may still be a valuable member of the team. Curtis Samuel basically didn't play his rookie year at all, but that 2nd round pick is looking pretty good right now, wouldn't you say?

Eh....Samuel is fine. I do think his hype has been pretty overblown. Little I am very concerned about. His talent was obvious but 2 concussions in four games is a HUGE concern. HUGE.

      Panthers Preseason

      Ideally Bryce and the other starters should get at least a full quarter and an argument could be made for 2 full quarters given how they've played early in the season the last few years.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By CRA · Posted

      A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
