The clip mentioned he was a linebacker and moved to DE.  Could we move him back to linebacker?

This is what I was thinking. With that speed and athleticism he wouldn't really need to put on weight to play linebacker.

This is the pick I hate the most. Yeah he has speed but lacks technique. I feel like the players with good technique do better in the nfl then your players who are great physically.

I’m a big fan of length at the DE spot. I don’t know that there were better players available and I guess he’s new to the position so maybe technique can still be unlocked

I'm just happy we're actually picking elite athletes with potential instead of players like Gaulden and Armanti Edwards.

Armanti won at least one game for us and did stay in pro football for a long time. 

This is the pick I dislike.

The guy has motor issues. He has technique issues he's worse than the Miller kid we got from Bama.

I mean I’d argue that he had one of the worst coaching staffs in all of power 5 football.

When I was watching Willis (Liberty) play Tech, Barno stood out quite a bit (which he should against G5 players).

He didn’t have the production that Marquise Haynes had in college but a lot of their flaws are similar… undersized, has no moves in package (only speed), non-factor in the run game, etc…

Personally I attribute his “motor” issues to just being on a downright horrible VT team the past two years. I don’t think he was in a great situation to be developed.

With his athleticism I think he gives Pasqualoni a lot to work with.

As he gets older he is naturally going to put on weight.. So I like the fact he will do it under the supervision of a pro staff..

    • I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.
    • Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.
    • The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
