Didn’t see this earlier. That’s why Norwell went undrafted and we snagged him. Drills were also why lots of us hated Little after the combine. Maybe you can work with that OL but looking bad in drills should make you a much lower round pick/project (Norwell worked out) not someone for whom you trade first round pick value.

My sons and I got Norwell’s autograph in training camp after the SB. I got him over with an “Andrew” call. Seemed stunned that someone would call him by his first name or even knew his first name. I was pretty good at getting them to come over. Greg didn’t, but smiled and waived when I said we enjoyed seeing him at the local pizza place. It was his Friday night home game tradition and he was pretty much left alone. Got TD over telling him his son beat my youngest, who was there, in the flag football championship (true) and he signed his ball and told him to play better next time. Saw him a bunch at basketball. My son made 4 of 5 free throws to ice a game (he was 8 ) right after TD walked into the gym. He was so excited and asked if TD saw him and I was like yeah of course it was the only game and there wasn’t much else going on while you shot the free throws.

Cool story.  My son played HS basketball with David Thompson's son.  Thompson came to one game, and sat near me.  My son scored about 20 points in the second half and had about 14 boards--Thompson's son was terrible that night, but he did not seem to care.  They barely won the game, when my son hit a 25 foot 3 pointer at the buzzer.  Thompson grabbed me behind my neck and shook my head around a bit---he was excited.  When I told my son, he had to Google David Thompson.  He knew that his teammates' dad was a former college and pro player, but nothing else.

A G would be nice too. If we extend Moton we need 1 T and 3 IOL. It would be good if we don’t have LT blindness like Marty did and our interior still sucks. I’d honestly rather go QB, C/G, C/G knowing we are far more likely to solidify the interior and use the 2022 1st on a T if that may be a better class for 1st rounders. I don’t want to reach on a maybe T if there’s a sure thing G. Our best OL recently had Oher at LT and the 2017 OL was decent as well with speed bump because the IOL was solid. Easier to help out a tackle  when the interior is solid and we have a split RT 

Could play Humphrey at G until Paradis is no longer with us. I think if we did not draft a QB at 8 and went:

R1: Slater/Sewell

R2: Humphrey/Davis

R3: Trade for Darnold or draft Newman

We could roll out a Moton-Humphrey-Paradis-Miller-Slater OL and give whoever our QB is a healthy, young and strong OL.

Thats nice 

But this is honestly like when Drew Lock had the best arm out of the 2019 group that included Daniel Jones, Will Grier, and Ryan Finley.

 

Newman is a Good Project, not aure id want to bank my hopes on him

New Panthers quarterbacks coach Sean Ryan seems to be taking at least some of the responsibility of OC coordinator Joe Brady, who is not attending the Senior Bowl due to COVID-related issue. Ryan previously has coached Matt Stafford and Deshaun Watson, both of who should be on Carolina's radar. Alabama's Mac Jones likely is the only QB here on the team's radar.

    • Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
    • They might be ass but it’s the professional level like NFL!! I will take a win no matter what!! Still not over
    • So you are just going by what these analysts are saying. So if come draft time they say Ward/Sanders is worth pick 1 you should be good. The future draft QB class is always going to be projected as the next great thing until these young players start playing the game and scouts can see some flaws. Think of all of the high school phenoms that didn’t look as good in college.  If Manning does turn out to be the next great prospect only one team gets to draft him. Odds are someone else could get the top pick, especially if go all in on building a supporting roster. I’m never going to be a just wait another year guy, because there are so many variables. If our staff loves Ward/Sanders then we should just draft them with our pick. It’s as simple as that. I also might go with Hunter over TMac as WR1 in this class.  The roster has the OL to help a young QB, young weapons in Coker, XL, and JT to grow with a QB, and a RB who can catch in Brooks as a safety net for a young QB. Sign a vet WR, extend BC and our offense would be set outside of depth. Let our young offensive core go through their growing pains while we iron out the defense. It’s definitely a path forward.
