If he’s LT I definitely want to trade down.  I’m not very high on any of these QBs, but I have a nauseating feeling it’s going to be Pickett

I noticed Fitt immediately jumped into BC’s versatility mentioning he can play LG or even RG if needed. That makes me think he is considering LTs in this draft. I’m personally not sure how good BC would be at LG, but he looked solid at LT. We could run Cross, BC, FA/later pick, Brown, Moton and have a solid young line.

I think Christensen can hold down the LT spot and get better the more he plays.  Take a C or even a G and you have Moton, Brown, Drafted C, Drafted G (or FA), and Christensen and let them play together and be a cohesive unit.

 

I would say go after the best center in free agency--I think they are looking to Brown to take the Miller spot at RG.  With BC as a developing LT, we could be closer than we think.  If we plan to start BC and DBrown, I would focus on some free agent veterans or we could have another disaster.  Erv and Elf need to go.

I’m really high on Cross, so if we move BC to guard and go that way, I’d be totally fine with it.  The more good pieces on OL the better.  Not getting my hopes up that whoever we draft is actually gonna get playing time, though

Hopefully our new OC will get some input on playing time…

Might be me reading too much into it but I feel like his choice of words, "A lot of people say..." when talking about the arm length was quite interesting. Specifically because that's exactly what Rhule said and Fitt negated it.

Definitely caught this too. Lowkey confirmed that passing on Slater was Rhule's call. 

I'll give the front office this much: Someone said Tepper reads the huddle and other fan sites and I absolutely believe that. Fitt and Rhule appear aware of all the criticism being tossed their way and the timing of the decisions lately seem like they're in direct response.  Having fun imagining Tepper calling Rhule into his office to watch a slideshow of huddle hate.

I agree going with Moton, Brown, and Christensen we may not be far off from a better line.

Why did we ever sign Erving and Elflein to 2 year contracts?  I guess they can be scrub backups.

Paradis's contract was restructured so even though he's done, his contract is the gift that keeps on giving.

      Is Chris Brazzell just another DJ Chark?

      By blueandblackattack · Posted

      I was checking out Chris Brazzell II measureables, and I thought they looked suspiciously familiar. Turns out it was true, almost identical measureables to former Panthers DJ Chark circa 2023. I even checked Terrace Marshall Jr results, and honestly isn't that far behind them.   I know this isn't unique for just our team, but we seem to specifically have an obsession with trying to make this tall lanky speedsters work for us. I admittedly wasn't that high on Brazzell, and when I watched the tape I didn't really see that 4.3 speed, and a strong wind seems to tackle him.   I really liked most of the draft, including getting Hecht in the 5th when I graded him as a #1 Center in this draft. I'm rooting for the guy to work out, especially since our HC and OC made their bones as Wide Receiver coaches. But Brazzell is the only one I'm kinda meh on. I was hoping we'd trade up to get Big Citrus, or if we went WR I liked Ted Hurst much better. We'll see though. 3rd rounders seem to be coin-flips for us (see DJ Johnson/Matt Corral). But I'm rooting for the guy and for this experiment to finally pay off.   I haven't seen anyone else post something about this, so just thought it was interesting and passing it along.   #keeppounding   -------------------------------------------------------------- AI Overview   Chris Brazzell II and D.J. Chark both possess nearly identical elite deep-threat profiles, highlighted by their tall, lanky builds and blazing sub-4.40 speed. Chark was slightly faster, while Brazzell offers a marginally heavier frame and longer wingspan. [1, 2, 3, 4] The side-by-side physical and athletic testing results from their respective NFL Scouting Combines outline their comparable profiles: [1] Metric [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] D.J. Chark (2018) Chris Brazzell II (2026) Height 6'3" 6'4" Weight 199 lbs 198 lbs Wingspan 78.5" 80.1" 40-Yard Dash 4.34 seconds 4.37 seconds 10-Yard Split ~1.50s (est.) 1.52 seconds Vertical Jump 40.0" 40.0" (pre-draft) Hand Size 9.25" 9.0" Analytical Comparison Size & Build: Both receivers offer an excellent catch radius with lanky, outside-threat frames. Brazzell holds a slight edge in height and an even more significant advantage in wingspan, giving him a massive target radius. Speed Profile: Chark famously recorded the fastest 40-yard dash time at his combine, while Brazzell was a standout at his event. Both times are elite for their size, translating directly to the "field-stretching" and vertical playmaking abilities that define their games. Draft Status: Chark was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the second round (61st overall) of the 2018 Draft. Brazzell was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the third round (83rd overall) of the 2026 NFL Draft.

      I still reserve my right to bitch about how incompetent the Panthers are at running a football organization and point to the mountains of evidence in support.
