Well he shouldn't be depth if you invest 3 picks in him.

Could have gotten 3 LBs this year for depth. Jack Sanborn, Diego Fagot, and James Houston or one Brandon Smith?

Smith needs to start in 2 seasons or this is a waste. Even worse than the Devin Funchess trade. At least Funchess started for a bit before he was flushed.

Investing too much draft capital into individual players like Darnold, Corral, Marshall and Smith to even build a foundation.

Horrible front office.

We swapped two picks. Our 2 5ths for their 4th and 6th. Fourth rounders are usually delth/ possible starters down the road. If he ends up starting we did great.

Got it. I heard them say our 2 5ths and next years 5th for the Commies 4th when it was announced.

Still see better value LBs on the board so I don't like it, but not as bad as I thought.

He got passed over for a kicker. It doesn't get much worse than that. 

I thought it was decent chance that he would be a 4th, I just soured on him badly one weekend I drove in to the draft class. The poor UNC homers could not see, Im a UNC fan and overcame it. Even his measurables were awful... 

Id be up for him in the 6th, I do think he could beat out Walker........(maybe)

Mack and Longo totally tanked Sam’s draft stock by making him run all last season. They never bothered to develop his QB acumen. Sam and his family should be livid.

That happens to a lot a great prospects unfortunately.  Coaches are pressured to win and sometimes the player is sacrificed to try to make that happen. 

Its up to the scouts to determine what is left in the player that will translate to the nfl. It's a cruel business that chews these kids up and spits them out for the almighty dollar.

    • I mean, in theory Bryce could get over the hump. That aside, you have to know that due to the situation we are going to give him another year. From some perspectives, it just makes sense. I'm not saying that I agree or disagree with it, but it's not like the draft is chock full of franchise QBs. I'm thinking that only one, the consensus top pick, is destined to be the only one in this draft (and some people don't believe in him). All we can do is sure up the room with an FA (Pickett) and take a swing or two and hope (maybe the dawg Pavia). 2027 should bring better options if it comes to that.
    • Let's be honest here. We have one WR on this team that would be in the top 3 of ANY other team. And he was a rookie last year. I love Coker but he is an often injured UDFA. He wouldn't have even gotten a chance on other teams. The rookie injury would have bounced him around the league for the next 5 years until he stopped trying to make a roster. It's a numbers game for most teams and he would have (at best) been on some team's practice squad. But Carolina has been so devoid of talent at the position, that we didn't have much of a choice. Bryce leaves a lot of questions but to say he hasn't elevated anyone isn't true. No WR has left Carolina since he's started and did better on another team. Not one. And there are several to choose from. Coincidence? Maybe. Probably not.
