Dude has WR hands.  That HUGE!  a lot of his picks were diving, cross-body, in traffic type of picks.  Most DBs have hands of stone.  Dude had a diving ONE-HANDED pick completely laid out once. 

I'm a little higher on Ambry Thomas, but I get Paulson Adebo too.

Man I had a brain fart.  Isn't Meinerz and Humphrey still on the board?  This is why we traded back for extra 3rd rounders folks.  The value in this round is ridiculous!

Humphrey is a Chief.

We have two great receivers, and reliable one added through free agency, and a reliable receiving runningback. We didn't make this pick for this season, which you implied. He's a developmental player that will hopefully pay off. As I said I love the player, but he wasn't a need.

With as many holes as this roster has WR was a luxury pick we don’t have the luxury to make. That pick should’ve been a starter at OL or LB

I meant David Moore of course, not DJ.

He could be better than David, but receiver like defensive back can take time to develop. He's more talented for certain, but it might take some time to really get him up to speed.

Meinerz is, I think Hump got picked by KC late 2nd. Great pick for them btw....

I still have no idea what you're trying to argue. Even if he is a bit of a project or whatever that doesn't make it a bad selection at all.

Who did we have at MLB when we picked Kuechly?

Who did we have at C when we picked Kalil?

I can't tell you how many times we drafted a player we already had a starter had and Panther fans freaked out. 

The whole “people freaked over Luke” pick is the most revisionist claim on this site LOL.

idk where you’re going with Kalil

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
