would you be opposed to moving back up for Bijan Robinson?

As to the OP…when you get past the 15 pick in the first in this draft you are already seriously debating if there are better football players than Bijan available.  Lots of questions in that range IMO.  There does come a point where he makes a lot of sense for some teams

I mean if your fine with Chubba Hubbard being your starting RB. There are exceptions to the rule. Barkley was one of them. when you get one of those guys at their best look what he did for the Giants carried their offense single handedly. I think you look hard at special talents. only reason he would be available at 20 or less is hes at a position thats undervalued.

Are you fine with poor TE play or limited WR play? 

If we're going to invest in a QB and take it seriously, we're going to have to make pass catchers a priority. 

I'd like to do better than Chuba, but I'd like even more to give our new QB better targets

nope. I see no pop in his game. He doesn't have break away speed in the NFL and I don't think he's a power guy. Possibly elite balance and sight but.. not in the 1st. He's no CMC.

Naw, Bijan has crazy talent.  You can’t knock him there,  dude has special talent no doubt.  Can catch, block but his vision and cutting ability are off the charts.

 Tank Bigsby or Kenny McIntosh in the 3rd and y’all will be fine for years.

This is a bad draft. Most say there are only about 14 true first round picks in this draft with Robinson being one of them and a top 10 pick.  yeah you can get fine and decent production from other guys. This isnt a question of that. It's do you gamble on elite production.

Fine…exactly.  Don’t the Panthers have fine now at RB?  Bijan > Fine

  So are both of them. Bigsby has everything Robinson does. I welcome anyone to pull up his reel and compare it to Robinson. And Bigsby wasn’t playing BIG 12 DEFs. And had a QB who couldn’t complete half his passes. A horrible OL his whole career. Against an SeC schedule.

Of the top 20 rushers, 4 were taken in the first round. Two of those at 24. So why are you “gambling” more assets than needed for similar “elite” production?

Naw…not hearing that.  These are different backs against very different competition.  ACC defenses were really bad.

I am seriously not calling Bijan some once I a lifetime player but he is better than Bigsby.  Come on man

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By t96 · Posted

      My general take on the state of the team not going too in depth is this: Either Morgan or Canales (hard to say whether it’s the players or the system/coaching, and that goes for any team) has been responsible for considerable strides forward on D and a bit more productive offense, but it’s been a small sample size and we collapsed at the end of the year. I lean towards it being more Canales growing as a coach and building a culture of buy-in and getting the most out of players in the locker room. My reasoning for leaning there is that Morgan was part of the Fitterer stink and it’ll take him a while of sustained success in roster management to overcome that in my mind. Next year is a big year to see if that was a fluke or not. These big signings this offseason are exciting and sometimes teams can have amazing FA classes but more often than not those who spend big and “win the offseason” don’t show the results in the regular season.    As far as QB goes, in a vacuum I’m completely fine with the Pickett signing, he’s ok value for a backup and a huge improvement over Dalton. If Bryce went down there isn’t a huge drop off there and if the rest of the team builds on last year they could win games with him under center. I’m not sure the ‘85 Bears could win games with current Dalton under center. But the O is just so damn limited with Bryce and Pickett does not push him at all, he’s purely a backup. So I agree we I’d love to see a QB with some upside drafted, a guy who could actually push Bryce if/when he struggles or doesn’t improve any further. He’s improved steadily the last 2 years but it has been from arguably worst in league history to still below average. I’m not convinced he can get any better than purely average at absolute best. I hope he can man but I just don’t see it happening. And the longer we keep penciling him as starter the less confidence I have in this staff. Even with our unexpected relative success as a team last year sometimes you do have to take another step back to take a step forward, and that could mean moving on from Bryce, and temporarily going with a slightly worse player like Pickett while aggressively trying to upgrade the position and taking dart throws in the draft/free agency on upside players. I know, there wasn’t much available this offseason outside of Willis, and this draft class seems to be poor at QB. But I’d have preferred we try something and if it didn’t work and we took a step back then just keep trying until something hits. Rolling with Bryce is just delaying the inevitable and living in purgatory.    just my 2 cents, hope I’m proved wrong

      BREAKING: Panthers have interest in Deebo Samuel

      By h0llywood · Posted

      His market value is 15.7 million. Not worth it to bring him at his age, at that price. If we were to bring in a veteran, DeAndre Hopkins is available for 2 million market value. I've said this in other threads, get Keenan Allen to play the slot. He's as good as a pass catching tight end and is market is under 7 million.
