Now tell my why you think Rhule is hitching his career to this?

If it’s addressed to me, I truly have no opinion.  
 

however , I would say Rhule hitched his wagon to Bridgewater and Darnold so I’d say his wagons have either a suspect team of horses pulling it or shoddy wagon wheels 

I suspect the team’s best hope is that McAdo’s wagon is better at evaluating QBs…and that’s concerning

Pls lawd, we have paid our penance with Sam Darnold. Bless us with Ikem Ekwonu so that we may smite the Aints.

I'm all for drafting a great player, but dude, we aren't beating NO this year.  It's just not happening.  That defense is salty AF and no matter who we have at QB they're gonna be seeing ghosts.  And now the chairman and CEO of the Taysom Hill fan club is gone, so we don't have that to fall back on.

Ekwonu looks good, but so do Cross and Neal.  I'd rather have Ekwonu or Neal just because they have legit positional flexibility whereas Cross is a tackle.  While I'm dreaming I'd like to have a second round pick as well so we can at least start rolling the dice on finding our franchise QB without wasting our first round pick on a lesser talent.

hat’s why a guy like Bryce Young next year is going to be so coveted. He has the athletic intangibles but has been coached up already by NFL coordinators. He’ll be plug and play. Take the tackle this year. Try to get in position to take young next year (likely if Darnold is the starter).

I like your assessment.

I keep thinking about a podcast I listened to with former OL that said basically the guys who are plug and play (and don’t need extra coaching) are incredibly valuable bc of the NFLPA practice mandates. 
 

A guy like Penning is going to fall bc he needs refinement. Ekwonu, Neal, Cross are all plug and play with little need at this point to be coached up. 
 

It also may be the draw with a guy like Pickett over Willis. He’s 25. He has been coached up by former NFL coaches. I don’t love it but it’s like the Mac Jones scenario. He’s plug and play. Willis may have more potential upside. But it’s going to take years.

What were his assessments of last year’s crop? Real question, are they available? Would be cool to see his write ups on the Lamar class, the Murray class. Kalil the younger. Fischer. Cam, even. 

He liked Mitch the best in his class FWIW, but that was a hard class to scout. Few saw Mahomes/Watson being as great as they have become.

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
