This is the best one yet.  Not sure whether to call it my masterpiece, but pretty darn close.

Why I like this one so much.

a) Developmental QB--People need to give up on us getting Stround/Young--AR/Levis not Day 1 starters

b) Franchise TE--FINALLY

c)  A true NT and true 5-tech

d) TWO WRs--one boundary, one outside/slot flexible.

e) Three down RB

f) Ball hawking FS

g) MLB to replace Shaq

h) Backup center or primary center is Bozeman isn't retained and another guard for Corbett injury insurance.

i) Hybrid safety/nickle LB

Pretty much checked every box and with solid players too!!!!

Only did three rounds. After this initial defense push we go for developmental  talent at WR and RB. Think Kendre Miller, Charlie Jones, and Kenny McIntosh. QB remains an issue obviously but defense is basically set. Jacoby Brissett is brought in along with a TE free agent which puts bandaids on issues for now.

Brissett on a 2-year deal is the way to go, trade back, get more capital and take the rookie QB plunge next year.  I've thought about this a good deal and this seems the most realistic scenario for early success.  If Reich/staff sew up the rest of the roster over the next two drafts and FA THEN drop the rookie QB in on a nearly complete team, even the rookie struggles the rest of the roster is strong enough to grind through the growing pains.

That's literally the worst thing we could do. This draft is unusually top-heavy so trading back is a bad idea even if we don't trade up for a QB.

    • How did this “innovative” narrative start with Canales? Just because he’s young? He truly wants to run the ball and nothing Tampa did last year was all that creative. Mike Evans ability to win 1 on 1 does wonders for an offense as a whole 
    • Initially, I wanted Stroud but I thought the trade up meant that, whoever they chose, it was for a reason.  There was no pressure to do anything for the entire scouting team to do other than investigate every aspect of the top 3 candidates.  Stroud had his question marks, and I think it is possible that he falters this year.  Bryce had a much worse situation here in Carolina because we neglected the OL, traded our #1 WR, did not pick WRs well in the draft, traded our pro bowl RB, and seem to disregard the TE position altogether.  Bozeman was not a good fit and we relied on an improved OL in 2022 to suggest that we were set there when we were far from it.  Fitterer had no vision, no grasp of talent, and everyone in the front office and on the coaching staff were pretending to be gurus.  Our coaching staff was a group of men earning a lifetime achievement paycheck.  It all goes back to the years of neglect for the OL.  My theory?  If Stroud had come to Carolina, he would be as mocked and ridiculed as Bryce Young.   No, he does not have a cannon.  Chad Pennington was a weak-armed QB who had success and would have been even better if it were not for injuries.  Smarts is important at QB, and so are mechanics.  Before you can address Young's mechanics, he needs an OL, Running game, and weapons. We were not really able to run play action from under center for a few reasons--play action is not effective when you have to pass the ball--other than that, the QB must turn his back to the LOS for about 1.5 seconds.  When the QB has less than 2.5 seconds to pass the ball, that eliminates that part of the play book.  Heck, even the run option is minimized when there is immediate facial pressure.  SO those who want to talk about happy feet, bouncing, etc--they are symptoms of the problem, not the problem.  A weak arm?  Well, Young's arm is between Chad Pennington and Joe Montana--closer to Joe.  His are is not as weak as some think--but he has issues with the deep ball. When you are reacting to the defense and quickly have to pass, then that takes away the strength because you don't have the base to get power behind it.  I still wish we had taken Stroud, but we have Young and if you toss him out before giving him support, you are not wise, unsmart, not unfoolish, and rather elite in your failure to attain mediocrity.  Expect growth.  How much? Nobody knows.
