Umm, Brown’s RAS score was 1.48. His only green mark was his weight, lol. Trey Smith (my legacy) was a 9.8. Still cannot understand how or why we passed on Smith for Brown, who was downright dreadful at the Senior Bowl, and a long snapper who sucked.

Ekwonu, Smith, Bozeman, Corbett and Moton would be really fun to watch. 

You know why, all the blood thinners and heart warning. I was yelling for Trey Smith starting in 4th.....over the Long Safety was the worst.....but not going to complain too much given he must have been off the board due to doctors....I would have took the risk in the 6th. I still got hope for Brown, new OL campy should know how to reach him.

So far, solid draft. Two biggest areas of need were addressed on days one and two, and now on day three they're taking fliers on some solid depth options.

The team so far has picked up back-ups for Brian Burns & Frankie Luvu to help get some fresh legs after the passer, and those guys might even see decent time this season if they can contribute on special teams (going to be funny having an edge rusher as a gunner again). They've also basically got a replacement for Cameron Erving in Cade Mays who is one of those "versatile" players that the regime covets. However, we've got James Campen likely signing off on the pick, so at worst the team has a smart back-up that can play any spot on the line.

Can't wait to see who the last pick is!

Hurney was gone. This was last year, Fitt and Rhule. Both guys were at the Senior Bowl. I watched the Senior Bowl and DL were just running around him like he was standing still. It was after that that his agent likely made him say he lost weight and knew he was too heavy. I know so many complained that he should have played but I wouldn’t be surprised if he never gets to a point where he could start and not let a quick DT tear Corral’s head off.

NVM, I thought you meant Derrick, not Deonte.

Remember last year when Rhule was bragging about drafting Chubba based on his wife's recommendation?  (Chubba iwas in the top 5 in RB carries that went for zero yardage--21%) Remember when Rhule called a long snapper to tell him that he was a sixth round draft pick?

Not seeing that kind of thing this year.

Where else do we need to add depth?  Secondary??

 

They mentioned S before the draft, but I do not see it.

I think TE--but not sure we find enough of a player in round 7.

Sterling Weatherford S Miami of Ohio (if he has not already been drafted) would be interesting.

Jack Sandorn MLB Wisconsin is another idea---no clue

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By CRA · Posted

      I mean, poster also said Young or Mahomes, it would have made no difference.  If there was way to actually test that hypothetical, I would sell every belonging I have and wager that Mahomes would indeed yield different results.  Mahomes automatically changes the D coverages.  He automatically changes the threats.  He attacks and threatens a field different vastly different.   We have seen good QBs and great QBs play behind horrific OLs in a single season....and they don't default into being the worst team in the NFL.  Frank Reich was old, stubborn and not creative enough to deal with an anomaly QB like Bryce.  The best QB in the NFL wouldn't be handicapping Frank, they would be enhancing Frank.  Starting week 1, Frank didn't even trust Bryce with basics....Frank gave him I what I feel comfortable with you being able to do offense.  Which took throws and plays off the table because Bryce couldn't do early on what a bad vet in Dalton could.  Mahomes would not yield the same results.

      All I have to say to this really, is it sounds nice and downgrades Stroud to make Young look better is more like what this take does. Look at the WR numbers the year before and then the year with Stroud. He made them better, not the other way around. That’s my opinion. I appreciate you designating that it was yours. Many state these things as facts.

      but what if.....and here me out....the pro Bryce Young stuff was coming from people under Fitterer.  You know, the people who are employed to feed him that input.  And they happen to all still be employed here.  when Rhule was fired I desperately wanted Fitterer fired.  It set things up for Fitterer to be the sacrificial lamb the next time things went poorly....every time we move on from a disaster, we are retaining a heavy % of the folks who helped bring the disaster we are "moving on from".  Everyone argued Fitterer probably could be great and it was all Rhule.  We are just repeating the same stuff to a degree IMO.   Panthers needed a clean slate post Rhule era.  Needed another post Frank era.  Things were just too bad or too dysfunctional IMO to be salvaging so much.   We keep failing to do that.
