Big Board at #8?

Wrong. I think he'll struggle with NFL-level WRs because his best attribute is being grabby/disrupting WRs at the LOS. His make-up speed is not special, which is concerning for a guy you are going to have to deploy a lot in press man coverage. 

I literally said I don’t know if he is a good DB and that opponents didn’t act like he was that good.   Some frankly gameplans  IMO appeared to target him. 

but yeah, he is a good athlete.   We just witnessed that fact

Big deal, he ran a 4.39 in underwear. Watch some football. His game speed is slow and he struggles changing direction.

lol I've seen plenty of Jaycee horn thanks

He mirrors as well as anyone in the class, and tested better 

Jaycee horns issues aren't athletic, that's an absurd comment

Sewell

Fields

Lance

Pitts/Chase

Trade down  

 

 

I flip flop between Sewell or Fields as the top of the board at 8. It’s either top QB left, or top LT left and if neither are worth the spot then add another offensive playmaker.

Because he's not a good QB and is at least a year away. Wasting the cheap years of a rookie QB with a shitty veteran in front of him is stupid, particularly for a team like Carolina that is going to need more than a game manager to be successful next year. 

I don’t think that matters , I hate to say it we will be stuck with Teddy for at least 6 games and then our season will be over anyway. I wish we would trade for Minshew and let Teddy go. Then draft someone to go behind Minshew. Hell I would have been happy with Fitzpatrick

Fans are better off accepting at this point that Teddy Bridgewater will be the Panthers QB in 2020. There is not another clear upgrade that is readily available to Carolina with Watson untradeable for the time being. Once you move past the point that Carolina has a deficiency at the QB position, you have to look at what's best for the team. Do you take the 5th best QB in the draft at #8, or the 3rd best non-QB? I think the latter is the superior option by a long shot. Obviously trading down would be even better, but it takes two to tango. Maybe someone moves up for Lance or one of the OLs, but it's safe to assume it's unlikely rather than likely. 

I agree with trading for Minshew. He's shown enough to at least think he's interesting as a starting option, and he's cheap for at least another two years. Jacksonville clearly has no use for him after signing Beathard. I would toss them a conditional fourth in 2022 that can upgrade to a third or second depending on various escalators. Give him a chance to compete with TB this year and look at drafting a QB next year unless Minshew impresses.

    • For Bryce’s obvious shortcomings (bad pun), there is upside to his game. This isn’t being a homer or apologists, but I like to consider myself fair in criticism.  He’s far tougher than I ever thought he’d be. I really thought homie would have been broken in half by now. I don’t know how he’s not, but he’s not.  He is prone to turning the ball over early in games which digs a huge hole the team is not built to come back from, but dude DOES come up with crucial first down in crucial situations. It’s NEVER pretty, but he just kind of has the shining. He gets bailed out LOTS, and the team still loses games because of him, but he’s a bit of an enigma. He’s a turnover machine that is clutch in big moments.  He’s a smart/elusive cat. He kind of has to be with his limitations. His audibles are almost always correct and he understands coverages. I don’t see him getting fooled too frequently. His turnovers are almost never the ‘damnit Jake/Cam!’ brand we have been accustomed to. They are ALWAYS due to his size/strength limitations.  Strip sacks that shouldn’t be. Picks that happened because he just don’t got that NFL arm. He is still prone to panicking and the wheels can and do fall off at a much higher rate than his peers.  The team is winning on the backs of the defense, running game and special teams… but they’re winning, and unbelievably 1 game behind Tampa. As long as this is happening and Bryce doesn’t go full meltdown, Dave is going to keep him in. He is not getting pulled. 
    • This was a terrible podcast. A bunch of uninformed homers that had worse takes than the bottom 10% of the Huddle. I listened to a handful of podcasts this past offseason in search of new Panthers material since John Ellis doesn't do his pod anymore and The 4 Man Rush don't either. Immediately deleted it after the handful I listened to. Truly terrible.
    • The NFC South was so bad it sent a team with a losing record to the Playoffs that year. Wilks had players playing hard at the end but let’s not act like that was a good season. That season hurts even more now that we see in hindsight how good our QB situation was. We just didn’t know it.
