Eh I like this class and that’s great and all, but let’s see it when the pads are on and the cleats are laced up. Plus athleticism gives you a leg up, but it doesn’t make you a player. 

True, but I like the bet that Rhule is placing on himself and his assistants, that they can coach and develop players and that's our ultimate competitive advantage.  That's what he's done at Temple and Baylor, and he did it with a roster last year that was on paper supposed to be drafting Lawrence this year.

Brown doesnt need to be athletic. that over rated for gaurds.  Can you move that other 300 pound man directly in front of you out of the way? 

 

hes a dump truck that will plow a hole for our RBs. Cant ask for more than that where we got him. 

Pass blocking exists.

I don't know what you are talking about. Our best guards were always very athletic. Our worst ones were not. It's the difference between Trai Turner and Duke Robinson 

Yep not exactly a power block team, so he's the oddest pick but hey if you need a guy built for the heavy 6th lineman package, he's your guy. Can straight bulldoze a guy.

 

Think he is just a sub package guy at best unless he finds a way to get lean, find speed, and not lose the power. Not an easy task. Buy for a 6th meh let's role and see if he ever develops, if not, nothing lost.

Yeah that was a total homer post. Looks like the staff is hinging on him losing weight because he does have some skills but his weight cost him his RAS score. But those are the types of risks you take in the sixth round. He does have talent.

True but 4 years without giving up a sack in the SEC?  He has to have some athleticism.

Panthers landed six elite athletes.

Horn's score is completely insane.

Christensen's score indicates he could push to start at some point this season.

Deonte Brown is the most unathletic guy in the draft. Hopefully he loses weight.

If Tremble can catch, man, he is going to ball out 

I heard someone on the NFL network, can't remember who, say if he can learn to catch consistently he will be a superstar.

Lol Duke Robinson had a higher RAS than Andrew Norwell. There’s more to being a successful guard than athleticism.

Just like a NT you have to move an immovable object. So long as he has a low center of gravity he will be ok.

If we can get 6 starters out of this draft class I consider it mission accomplished. 

If we get 6 starters that would be on the level of Mickey Loomas and the saints best draft.

      Good film breakdown of Young. Good and bad. Film examples

      How did this “innovative” narrative start with Canales? Just because he’s young? He truly wants to run the ball and nothing Tampa did last year was all that creative. Mike Evans ability to win 1 on 1 does wonders for an offense as a whole

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      Initially, I wanted Stroud but I thought the trade up meant that, whoever they chose, it was for a reason.  There was no pressure to do anything for the entire scouting team to do other than investigate every aspect of the top 3 candidates.  Stroud had his question marks, and I think it is possible that he falters this year.  Bryce had a much worse situation here in Carolina because we neglected the OL, traded our #1 WR, did not pick WRs well in the draft, traded our pro bowl RB, and seem to disregard the TE position altogether.  Bozeman was not a good fit and we relied on an improved OL in 2022 to suggest that we were set there when we were far from it.  Fitterer had no vision, no grasp of talent, and everyone in the front office and on the coaching staff were pretending to be gurus.  Our coaching staff was a group of men earning a lifetime achievement paycheck.  It all goes back to the years of neglect for the OL.  My theory?  If Stroud had come to Carolina, he would be as mocked and ridiculed as Bryce Young.   No, he does not have a cannon.  Chad Pennington was a weak-armed QB who had success and would have been even better if it were not for injuries.  Smarts is important at QB, and so are mechanics.  Before you can address Young's mechanics, he needs an OL, Running game, and weapons. We were not really able to run play action from under center for a few reasons--play action is not effective when you have to pass the ball--other than that, the QB must turn his back to the LOS for about 1.5 seconds.  When the QB has less than 2.5 seconds to pass the ball, that eliminates that part of the play book.  Heck, even the run option is minimized when there is immediate facial pressure.  SO those who want to talk about happy feet, bouncing, etc--they are symptoms of the problem, not the problem.  A weak arm?  Well, Young's arm is between Chad Pennington and Joe Montana--closer to Joe.  His are is not as weak as some think--but he has issues with the deep ball. When you are reacting to the defense and quickly have to pass, then that takes away the strength because you don't have the base to get power behind it.  I still wish we had taken Stroud, but we have Young and if you toss him out before giving him support, you are not wise, unsmart, not unfoolish, and rather elite in your failure to attain mediocrity.  Expect growth.  How much? Nobody knows.
