Emezie has the receptions record at State. I think he’s probably more technical than Jacoby Myers and Myers has done pretty well with the Pats. 

Emezie cannot get an ounce of separation at the college level and he is not an elite route runner. Those guys are a dime a dozen. Having above average hands and looking like a football player isn't gonna get him far in the NFL.

 Just because you produced in college doesn't make you an NFL player. This is the most common mistake that almost ALL college football fans make. That and having a little too much homer in them(ask @LinvilleGorge).

Hey, I've always been very fair in my assessments of UNC players. I'll say it when I think our guys are good college players who won't make the transition. Howell is just gonna be a stud, that's all.

I am gonna needle you about that until he proves me wrong. If so, feel free to give it back.

Still very down on this class.

Hopefully Cam is The Guy for next season and we can focus on that OL.

If Cam holds up this would make sense. Then look for someone like KJ Jefferson out of Arkansas the following year (I’m getting an early draft crush on him).

Hey, I could be wrong. Every year there are teams that get it wrong on QBs in the draft. It's an inexact science at absolute very best.

Well you whiffed on Herbert too. We may have to send you to the Matt Rhule Seminar for QB and OL Evaluation.

I whiffed on Herbert due to that bullshit Oregon system. I always said that if it's the system holding him back he has all the tools to be great, I just didn't want him because there was no way to project him to the NFL based on that bullshit one read passing system. My big whiff was Josh Allen. I didn't see any chance for him to be successful in the NFL. The strides he made as a lure passer from college are nearly unparalleled.

    • The lack of discipline has seriously been our downfall the last month. Seems like we just went off course this last month and Lee won't address it. You can't just live and die by the 3 when you can attack the paint and at worst draw a foul
    • Great season regardless of what happens. From starting out 4-14 to ending 44-38 is incredible progress and future is bright from here. I do think we can beat the Heat and then win on the road against either Orlando or Philly assuming Embiid doesn’t miraculously return sooner. But if not, a higher draft pick is nice too
    • I know a DT that's asking for a trade: 🤔 maybe a home discount can be worked out. Dan Morgan could create up to $80 million in space through restructures of stars like Derrick Brown, Jaycee Horn, or Taylor Moton. They could also include players like Tershawn Wharton ($18.6M cap hit) in the trade to balance the salaries. Carolina Receives: DT  Dexter Lawrence II New York Receives: 2026 2nd Round Pick (No. 51 Overall): A premium Day 2 selection that fits the for  Lawrence  after his 0.5-sack season in 2025. WR  Xavier Legette : A young, high-upside receiver who provides the playmaking depth HC John Harbaugh needs for his offense. 2026 4th Round Pick: Immediate mid-round value. 2027 4th Round Pick (via MIN): Future capital acquired in the  Adam Thielen  trade.  ----- Stone Forsythe* (another young player as a potential trade option)provides immediate offensive line retooling for HC John Harbaugh.    John Harbaugh's history in Baltimore proves he values draft volume over individual superstars.    Just my 2cents
