Newton mentioned Horn as a great fit for the Panthers...if he fell to the second round.

Obviously I'm biased but I really think Horn is the best CB in the draft. As a true corner, he is the best to come out of Columbia that I have ever watched, including Gilmore. If he had INTs before this year (nobody threw at him) and the team was successful, I have no doubt he would be talked about top 10. His pro day numbers just solidified that to me. 

FTR, he also posted a 4.39. He's not slow by any means but I was not expecting that.

I think we are waiting to see if the QB picture clears up so we can sign a free agent--QB or CB.

  • LT:  Erving and Scott (slightly below average)
  • LT: Rookie like Leatherwood, Erving, and Scott (average)
  • CB:  #1: Jackson, #2 Pride  (below average)
  • CB: #1 Top free agent, #2 Jackson:  (slightly above average)

 

By adding a #1 CB, you get better at 2 positions and have better depth that can play.

By adding a rookie starting LT, you may improve at LT, but you bury recent signees Scott and Erving.  That just does not sound like the plan that is in place.  They are deliberately (it seems) not addressing CB--with any sense of urgency or significance.

I have to think we are looking at QB, CB, then T.  I am guessing that they will take a look at Scott/Erving for a year because they feel as if they have upgraded LG.

I think I've got a pretty good idea where they're going to be tomorrow.

 

Wonder how many Jets reps will be in attendance?  If there are a lot of coaches, you have to wonder if they are comparing him to Darnold.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      You would hope so. I’m confused why the sports world seems split on Bryce when he’s obviously not working out.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      So let’s do the reverse? Make everyone agree everything he does is a disaster? I also think the whole “gaslighting” is on the eye of the beholder. It went from he can’t avoid one single sack countered with he actually did that well Sunday (with data backing it) to a little breakdown of why he is so bad. People are going to have different opinions. I’m also not going to pretend this wasn’t happening Day one with this little QB.

      All this great stuff he has done, how often does he do it?  I have it at three or four games out of 14 where he was very good and then you get a drive here or a series there where there are some good things. Here is the gaslight part: everyone has put him on a curve with his first year the baseline, neglecting to understand how bad he was then. Even if he comes back twice as good, where does that really leave him? 25th ranked or thereabouts.     He had so far to go, and still does, it is a Major ‘settle’ to accept his play as worthy of giving him our future.  You want to settle when the Bucs have Mayfield, and the Saints have overtaken us at QB? We will be third in the division at QB. That is good enough for y’all?
