Solid B. 
 

Was a huge position of need and he is arguable one of the best DBs in the draft. 

The downside is I feel like this was a weak DB class. Guys like Horn and Surtain are probably mid to late first rounders imo. He isn’t anywhere near the prospect of a Jalen Ramsey or Patrick Peterson.

If the guy you want is there, you take him. He was not going to be there at 39,

 

And like you said, any CB you did take at 39 is not going to come close to Horn.

 

There is still Oline help in the 2nd. We should be ok.

He worked out with Jalen Ramsey and Ramsey says he legit.  

Good Enough for me.  A+

Obviously we have a glaring hole at LT.

 

but our CB has been about just as bad.  Plus we play in the toughest division in football as far as WR Matchup (Godwin, Evans, Julio, Ridley, Pitts, Michael Thomas)

Horn is a STUD.  An athletic freak, who also comes from good blood lines.  He’s a straight dawg mentality type guy.  Huge impact guy day 1.

Heck, multiple all-pro CBs in this league have said this dude is the best defensive player in this entire draft and a star in the making

We picked a bad draft to draft for need. I have a hard time believing he was BPA at -#8.  Ultimately this pick will be judged on how Darnold does and how Fields transitions to the NFL

Not a sexy pick at all.. In fact a boring ass pick. But when you pick the best CB in the draft and CB is a huge need that is gonna be a good pick. He was most likely gone in the next two picks anyway, so the value was fine. 

A

how is a top level CB a boring pick? I've seen this a lot from people who wanted someone else, but a pick is one of the more "jump out of your seat" exciting plays in the the game and a pick-6 is just that much sweeter. even if you don't get a pick, locking down the receivers so that the front 7 can get a sack is almost as good. fast, aggressive defense is sexy as hell. bonerific.

Yeah, CB isn't a boring pick, IMO.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By CamWhoaaCam · Posted

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!

      You do know the biggest military base in the US is located just an hour from Raleigh in Fort Bragg right? Military families are family oriented. A hour drive to games is nothing compared to traveling 3 hours to Charlotte.   Cmon man there is nothing happening in Western Carolina other than Charlotte. I only go west for outdoor activities and some nature/mountain views.
