TBH, I would just prefer not to gamble in the top 10. 

But I will trust the new head coach to try and develop whomever we end up with. I just hope we just aren't continuing this very Cleveland Browns-esque QB journey in three years.

Whats the alternative? Sooner or later yiu have to gamble.  Unless you have that #1 pick, and it just happens to be the rare year there is a Luck or Lawrence type of prospect it’s almost always a gamble.

We could  go more tank mode and increase our chance of what is perceived as a better prospect but that doesn’t seem to be the path they want to go.

Last year you kept saying you didn’t want to gamble because this year had better prospects. 
I'm not saying totally waste a pick on a guy you don’t have faith in but for the most part you have to gamble sooner or later.

The issue this year is cost. It will cost quite a bit to get one of the top two guys in this draft. It's a better class overall(especially at the top) but the cost will be quite high to get to that point.

So pick one of the other guys.  That’s my point, if you are waiting for a sure thing, it might never happen.

Picking a guy with a 2nd round or lower grade in the top ten has a very unsuccessful history. That is how you start fuging up a draft.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      Round 7: The Carolina Panthers select LB Jackson Kuwatch (Miami of Ohio)

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
