I think we took so long to get the pick in cuz we were contemplating trade downs but in the end they took the bird in the hand and I’m glad they did. I’d love a 2nd round pick to try to get a QB with, but we got the best OT in the draft, maybe best offensive player. You don’t pass that up

This line is now built for whatever comes next

Baker or Jimmy G can lead us to a wild card berth with this line

A first round rookie next year will have time to develop and not be ruined. 
 

This was smart. 

Or, y'know, let Darnold play behind an actual NFL OLine for once in his career.

Hopefully our answer at lt for years but Daniel Jeremiah has this quote...

Worst-case scenario, he slides inside and becomes a Pro Bowl-caliber guard

if getting a pro bowl guard is worst case, I can live with that.  Jeremiah had him #3 overall fwiw

I'm sure they were on the phone.  Most of the top 5 had their pick in pretty quickly.  In the end someone was trying to fleece us and Fitterer said "No Way"

    • People really need to stop placing Dan Morgan on some kind of infallible pedestal. He is absolutely in lockstop with Tepper regarding Bryce and has been all along. As far as the team being okay with 185 passing yards per game. We better have a proven monster RB in our backfield then. Presently that guy is not on the roster. Chuba has one outlier season so far and the other guys have proven nothing. Not what you would call a great recipe. The only thing we can hope at this juncture is that the highest paid OL in the league for the second year in a row elevates their play from last season and opens up some massive holes even our RB's can get through. But it still doesn't resolve the issue of predictability. With no viable passing game it is much easier to shut down any run game. No defenses are scared of Bryce's arm. It is what it is.
    • i lived in Atlanta from 84'to 92' & back then it was indeed a very different time without the internet & access to information 24/7. shortly after i moved back home to western NC around 93' or 94' the Carolina Panthers were awarded an NfL franchise & began their inaugural season in 95' so ike you i have seen the Carolina Panthers, ,the NFL ,technology, fans all evolve over the many a moon & years now some for the better & others not so ...just saying 
    • I wouldn't even bet on us winning the NFC South. All four teams had excellent Drafts.
