Kid has off the field issues but would probably have ended up a 1st rounder if he hadn't.

 

This isnt Mr Richardson's team anymore, and Tepper will be willing to give a guy a 2nd chance.

 

Willie Gay Jr has Matt Rhule spelled all over him.  Rhule likes those physical freaks at LB see Hassan Reddick at Temple now with the Cardinals.

Daniel Jeremiah just said he is shooting up the boards and will probably go early second round. I got to see him play, and he has as good a skill set as any linebacker in this draft. As far as off the field issues, his is due to a complete lack of maturity. Once that comes, he's a monster. Jeremiah also said his interviews have been great. He'd be a great fit here, but he would have to be our second pick.

I think any other year, he would shoot up there where Jeremiah thinks.

His interviews were great, but theyve been limited.  Theyve been zoom interviews, no one has been able to bring him in etc.

I know guys who have been saying this draft is going to be odd.  Because you're going to see guys with Medical red flags, off the field red flags, and small school guys really drop because of this covid 19 due to the limited interaction with  the guys.

Any one that gets suspended for a year, teams are going to have questions about him.  He may interview great but they can't bring him inside the building and see how he interacts with other people.  He seems uber talented but I would go with Jordan Brooks or Akeem Daivs-Gaither before Gay. 

Brooks ran at the combine with a busted knee, the only question I would have for him is "would you tell us if your leg was falling off and you couldn't play or would you just play with 1 leg?"

He was suspended 8/13 games for allowing a tutor to take a test. No getting around it, but in the games he played flashed brilliance. He is a good kid who is immature and made a terrible decision. He paid for it with a suspension. His highlights speak for themselves. He has a skill set rarely seen from a guy his size. You would be very happy if he was on our team.

Rhule wants real "high character guys" Love Gay, but idk if Rhule will take him from a new culture standpoint. 

Remember when looking at prospects: Rhule has stated several times he wants "high character" and "speed"

He is 6'3" 240 and ran a 4.45. Someone is getting a steal.

Would you take him over Queen and Murray?

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.

      Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
