Better than Tremble and Thomas combined. Although that's not saying much. 

Yeah.  He's good [enough] that if a starting caliber TE doesn't happen in the draft, not a huge deal.  But still allows us to select Musgrave/LaPorta/Washington at 39 if we choose.  

But then, if we don't, can still take a R4ish shot on a Schoonmaker, Kraft, Whyle type.  

Makes the decision at 39 less forced, can be the best offensive skill player available.

Solid vet TE. I still expect TE to very much be in play at #39. Feels like that pick almost has to be WR or TE unless someone is there that's just shocking to still be available.

5 tech that fell?  MLB?

I'm with you, but I'd prefer a wide out to a TE.  With TE's I'd rather do exactly what we did.  Just takes too long for those guys to contribute.

regarding Hopkins... Only 8 Mil?!? LET'S GO GET HIS ASS - From Bleacher Report:

Hopkins has a no-trade clause in his contract and is set to carry a $30.8 million cap hit in 2023. That cap hit will be reduced to $8.2 million after Arizona takes on the $22.6 million in dead money remaining on his deal—but he won't be a fit for every team. He'll have to sign off on any trade, and teams will either need to have the necessary cap space or be willing to negotiate a new long-term deal.

I thought I read that his no trade clause was void because of the PED thing.

Draft is starting to look more open for us now. I doubt we will need to reach for anything. That’s what you want.

Offensive weapons…I mean Hurst is ok but he doesn’t change that or even close. This franchise will doom our new QB if they don’t get him a WR. It’s going to be bad, really bad. 

That’s said it’s really the only major need with oline depth and LB next. I wouldn’t be mad if Fit moved up back into the first for someone. Even then we need vets.

Cut or trade Ian Thomas would save $3M, which would probably cover the cost of this signing. 

No, it wouldn't.  Thomas is 5 million in dead cap.  We only net about 1.5 million by getting rid of him.  Next offseason, it looks better with only 1.5 million of dead cap against a 7 million cap number.

      Panthers run ONE play on repeat

      Pretty much. I'm basically treating Bryce as a rookie again this coming season in that I have no stats expectations, no wins expectations, I'm just looking for him to pass the eye test. Just show me that you have the talent to be a legit NFL QB.

      Anyone could clearly see right out of the gate that our offensive play calling was horrendous. Anyone. The fan base was expecting secret plays that we were holing back during preseason to catch the opposition by surprise. That didn't happen. We got old recycled plays from the early 2000's that were embarrassing and didn't even come close to working. Then to make matters worse, we KEPT calling the plays that didn't work and looked awful OVER AND OVER again for weeks. Team after team knew what was coming, and what was coming was idiotic. The quadruple deep hook route was the worst of it because it led to a sack of bad pass 100% of the time. We were not call plays to set up the defense, but rather we were calling plays in a vacuum as though the previous failed plays didn't happen. Didn't matter what the opposing defense was doing, we just kept calling mediocre 00's plays that no one else was running. No one got open. Then, like a blind squirrel finding a nut, a play would work by accident, and Young would throw a turkey to nowhere, or not even notice guys were open. Young was a nightmare. Weak, confused, and rolling out the right to throw a turkey to the sidelines or nowhere. Over and over and over again. Opposing safeties were confusing Young with motion and by baiting him, but the worst part was his noodle arm. Overcranking deep passes to mars that would have been TDs with a better QB was soul stealing to see. What now? We're just trying to not have a disastrous 24' season. Just hope for improvement from Young, and good play calling. Maybe we can get 4 or 5 wins. Keep your expectations low, and if Young becomes a star you can be thrilled. The odds are low.

      I have deep concern that the answer might be both. Reich did a terrible job of catering to Bryce while Bryce just flat out didn't look like he had starting NFL talent.
