I would have loved this pick if we had Justin Herbert on the roster lol. Now I think it's either QB or a blue chip defensive player in the first round. I know everyone is banging the table for offensive line but why beef up a line with nothing to protect?

As I watched the games this year, the glaring need for a TE was obvious.  Carolina has had literally nothing at TE since Olsen left.  Having a true threat at TE would vault Bridgewater on to a whole new level.  With Mcaffrey out most of the season, defenses attacked the qb more so as there was no threat of Mccaffrey getting behind them.  But what happens when you add a playmaking TE that can get behind that rush for Bridgewater to throw it over the top of the rush to.  Well now you give the defense something else to think about.  With Mccafrey coming back, the emergence of Samuel and Davis in this offense, and adding a true play making TE will give us an offense we haven't seen in a long time.  

We already had 4 guys go over 1000 yards, without maybe the most dangerous weapon in the NFL all season.  Lack of adequate weapons is NOT the issue with this team.  Having a QB who is not afraid to take risks and push those weapons down the field is.

Along with a top 5 defense like he had with the Vikings. Like he said yesterday, he made it to the playoffs only throwing 15 TDs before. Why couldn’t it work again? 

Because the entire league has changed dramatically since then?

I’m all for it only if somehow we have a plan to trade back up into late in the first to select Mac Jones but of course it’s unlikely that he drops that far.

 Right now more realistic is that we get Wilson or Fields by trading up to #3 or selecting Trey Lance at #8, even then Lance could be gone as well if Detroit selects a QB in front of us.  To secure one of the top 4, we have to trade up at least to #5 with the Bengals.

Teddy just needs

-a top 2 running back

-a great oline

To go along with the best receiving core top to bottom and he may preform better

And a top 5 D to protect him because that offense is still not going to put up a ton of points. He had the best RB in football and a top 5 D in Minnesota and they were still one and done in the playoffs. They were 31st in the league in passing yardage that season. This narrative that Teddy didn't work out in Minnesota due to the injury really isn't accurate. They were likely closing in on moving on from Teddy due to football reasons anyway.

If they were not close to moving on from him, they would have waited the injury out and reintroduced him as the starter.

As for OP, we could have Moss, Rice, Owens in the slot, With sharpe and gronk for our 2 TE's and Teddy might hit 16 touchdowns, whoop de doo.

It's the Chicken and the Egg conundrum.

With Teddy as the chicken (to air it out), and the OL as the basket of eggs (some raw, some overcooked, some all scrambled up.)

Which comes first??

If we draft a TE or LB at 8 I will flip my poo. I used to think a MLB was a top need just below QB and OL but Carter filled in nicely and I think can be more than enough moving forward. As others have said, more weapons is the last thing we need. I could see a later round pick on a TE or getting a reliable veteran in FA, but fug no to using our first pick on one. Or second. Or third.

      How is Charlotte FC doing?

      By DeSim · Posted

      You wanted to be educated, get prepared… What @MillionDollarCam said about Kahlina and the defense, we’re currently tied for 2nd for fewest goals allowed, with a current streak of 4 straight shutouts.  Positional thoughts… GK - Already mentioned Kahlina DEFENDERS - Back four have been solid, even more the central defenders, Malanda and Privett.  We knew Malanda had potential and he’s living up to it so far this season.  Privett, even though solid last year, his potential was never clear, but this season he’s showing his true potential.   Fullbacks, Byrne and Uronen also solid.  Uronen currently injured (not sure how long) and hopefully not too long cause the current backup, Joao Pedro has been a liability these last 2 games when filling in.  Byrne’s backup, we still have Lindsey who fills in nicely as a sub or whenever starts to give Byrne some light rest.   Other backups, Diop and Tuiloma. Diop has yet to play this season I believe and Tuiloma, below average to average.  MIDFIELDERS - Ashley Westwood is top notch, nothing bad at all to say about the guy, imo.  Box to box midfielder, takes ownership of the defensive midfield area when opposition has the ball and support upfield when Charlotte is in control.  Diani seems like a similar player as Westwood, but obviously not as good.  Petkovic,  Bronico play a bit more upfield but Bronico being more defense focused.  Same as Arfield and Urso, Urso a bit more defense focused.  Then there’s Djaegere, who even though he’s the no. 10 and should be the playmaking outfielder, just looks lost out there most of the time, and unfortunately he’s been out there plenty.  Cambridge and Bender (injury) have to played so far this year. WINGERS - Because of injuries, Djaegere has been asked to play there plenty and I already mentioned my thoughts about him.  Maybe playing out of position is why he looks lost but he makes the simplest mistakes and awful passes at times.  Main guys are Vargas and Abada.  Abada has been bc of injury almost 2 months I think? I believe returns next game against Philly.  But when he’s in, oh man the attack level picks up a lotttt.  He knows how to time his runs perfectly to get open.  Vargas is a threat to get into the box and get open as well but sometimes he misses the easy passes (idk if it’s bc selfish or just doesn’t see it) and decides to shoot, needs to work on his vision.   FORWARDS - Swiderski is currently out on loan in Italy, but Italy could buy him at the end of the loan, which may happen. Iuri Tavares, back up, his natural position is forward but has been playing this season mostly on the wing since we lack players there and injuries.  Below average to average, has his moments winning one-on-one.  Even though he’s no longer on the team, he needs to be mentioned  Enzo Copetti…brought in as a DP who never played to that form last year but not really “bad” either. but oh man this year… Horrible, I don’t even know how else to put it.  After 2-3 horrible games to start the season, Dean Smith started to played the back up more and more   And that leads me to Patrick Agyemang.  When he started subbed in for Copetti, such a difference.  Easily better than Copetti, which is insane if you think about that he came through CLT through the draft last year (which usually doesn’t yield good players quick) and Copetti was a DP.  So that led to Charlotte selling Copetti, he went bye bye and now it’s Agyemang’s spot and deserved. So in summary: Defense: STRONG Midfield: Outside of Westwood, needs work..starting with getting Djaegere out and finding a true playmaker   Wings: Solid when healthy, need depth Forward: Agyemang average but still growing, and is just going to get better. With Jozwiak out during the past transfer window and now Copetti, there’s 2 DP slots open for Charlotte to get some real good players. And seeing how Dean Smith has evaluated players this season, I trust they’ll get the right guys. Dean Smith, he’s done amazing for what he’s been dealt with and he’s not afraid of playing younger players over experienced ones.
