haha right

I don’t dislike Smith, but I am always a little wary of drafting guys from complete loser programs. 

Did you feel the same way about Deebo? Much like him Shi was expected to carry the entire passing game on his back because the QB play was just so god awful. 

 

I've been around this board for 10+ years. I've always been pretty realistic. Shi and Jaycee were the only players from last years team I would've drafted.

Mel and the others are raving about the Panthers' draft, even saying it may be the best. They just talked about the Panthers for the last 5-6 minutes straight! I don't think I have ever seen that happen. I feel like I am in the Twilight Zone.

I’ll be honest and say I haven’t been following the draft that long in as much detail as now. Didn’t join here until 2016 and was way more of a FF draft follower before then, i.e. cared way more about the top skill positions and where they went than OL, DL, late round picks etc.

Things I got right over the last 20 years:

Seifert being a joke, Weinke a bust, I believed in Luke, I knew Delhomme was done 2 years before they let him go, and I knew Benjamin would be a bust, same about Butler.

However I was wrong about:

I really thought Moore was going to be the guy in 2010, I didn’t like the Stewart pick in 08, thought Fox should have stayed 1 more year, thought Jake was gonna be the same as Peete in 03 and us draft a QB in 04.

Wow, ESPN getting all excited about us. Kiper and McShay both said Darnold would go 2 this year.

I saw that and this is the best draft I ever remember us having. We’re picking guys on day 3 who have a shot at starting.

Absolutely I did. Hats off to Deebo, one of the few to climb out of that dumpster fire and play like a pro’s pro. Even with a supremely talented guy like Clowney from that program, you see a total loser with a bad attitude who only plays when he feels like it. I hope we see Deebo-like from Horn and Smith, but I am hesitant to be optimistic.

Nice little segment on Carolina. If you treat darnold like a pick it improves the draft grade quite a bit. 

Yea I was saying literally all thread in the thread on day 1 that Darnold would be the #2 in this very draft, and it wasn't from Mel or McShay

    • 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.
