No way Newman drops to the 6th/7th. Buechle/Ehinger are fringe UDFA just like Franks.

I think you might be surprised. He has physical tools, but any GM is going to question his competitiveness, or really his ability too, after he packed his bags and went home once he didn’t show out in camp at UGA. 

Really I didn’t even think he was impressive against better competition at Wake. For example, Clawsen didn’t trust him to do anything against Clemson except run that delayed mesh zone and throw yolo bombs on the outside. I wouldn’t be disappointed if Carolina took a shot on the tools in day 3, but I don’t think he’s any kind of lock to go before the 6th round. He might, he might not.

Another late round WR he might turn into something I think is Marquez Stevenson. He had a reputation for speed but his recorded 40 times are slower than you'd think. He is out of Houston. He has done well as a KR and I think his game speed is pretty good. Seemed to outrun everyone he played against despite the slow 40 (if the mid 4.4s early 4.5s are slow).

Larry Rountree. We could use a ground and pound type back to rest CMC. He runs hard and is strong between the tackles. Be nice to have that at the goal line. And he actually is a back who can pass protect. 

We do need something like that. Gerrid Doaks from Cincy is a similar back. Big (230 or so), and can pound the rock between the tackles. One of the draft previews i read said he was good in pass protection too. Probably go undrafted but might be worth a look with our last pick.

Gone before the 5th, bank on it.  You don't find 6"4' with 4.4 speed often.

I've seen alot of boards having him still ranked in the area of 210th best prospect. About early 6th is what I have seen.  Tho he looked really good during pro day, it may have just been Mills throwing almost perfect too. Who knows. But he may still be there.

I like this guy, but I think he’s going higher than 6th/7th

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
