How did mahoomes and hill do in the super bowl with a crappy line?   There's your answer.  How did cam play in the super bowl with a crappy line?   There's your answer

How did the Browns do with Joe Thomas?  

Creating absolute statements off of small sample sizes is pretty weak.

How about this?

What if you think Waddle has a 80% chance of being like Hill, but Slater only has a 60% chance of being like Bolles?

Not only do you have to look at draft picks at their ceiling, and their floor, you also have to factor in the chances of them actually reaching those levels. 

People compare draft picks under best chance scenarios where they all reach their ceilings, which in reality really happen.

Just my thoughts. I think Sewell would be a slam dunk at 8. If Slater and Waddle are on the board at 8 a decision will have to be made. 

So Verge you think both Pitts and Chase are higher on the panthers board than Sewell?  I knew they were high on Pitts but didn't realize they had Chase ranked over Sewell.  I personally would be happy with any of the 3 or Slater but just prefer Sewell.

That might be one of the worst points ever. There’s a difference between having a mediocre LT and having all 5 starters injured and backups playing at every spot. Mahomes wasn’t playing behind a below average OL, he was playing with a line of backups. Our OL is vastly better than an OL of all backups. Every OL in the NFL including the Chiefs starters was better than that OL.

Cam’s OL in 2015 was ranked top 2. Did you even watch that year? Our IOL was extremely talented. All have been pro bowlers or all pros and they were really good that year. Crappy OL on the #1 scoring offense led by Stewart, Gunn, Cotchery, Funchess and Olsen? The OL play and Cam were a huge part of the success. Yes, Denver had the edge rushers to counteract out tackles when we decided to leave them one on one. Coaching lost us the SB and of course some terrible calls by Broncos fan replay officials.

Our OT were trash. Where are you getting top 2 ranked OL?

Source and context?

Top 2 in what? Run block? Pass block? Combined?

Etc

I believe the Panthers will take the highest rated player available in the draft in spite of need

i believe they will find line help (o and d)  in RD 2 and down 

if their highest rated player be it tackle, cb. TE, WR isn’t there at 8, they will trade down 

highest rated equals a player who can change a game 

I know some think that’s stating the obvious but with DJ going into a contract year, drafting the top rated WR is not out of the question, and get a OT in RD 2, is not out of the question 

would I run for a LT, yes, but their are salary cap and ability to resign issues to consider too

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?

      When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
