you can't teach speed and size....  the rest can be taught by Reich, Dalton, Caldwell, Brown

 

Would not be surprised at the least AR15 is the pick

I disagree.   Processing speed cant be taught for example.

Passing accuracy isn't something you see a lot of improvement in either.

People will point to Josh Allen as an example but I don't really know how valid that is.

And to be clear completion percentage doesn't really measure accuracy. There's a lot of other factors in that number.

He's worth the wait. 

They didn’t give up what they did to trade up to #1 overall to draft a project. But hey, who knows what they’re thinking. 

I don’t dislike Richardson. He will probably have flashes of greatness in the NFL early in his career. His athleticism is off the charts. But there have been many QB prospects like him before that only have a good deep ball and running ability who flame out of the NFL before their second contract. If he was the pick at #9, I would have been fine with it.

Like I said before there’s a real chance Richardson is on his 2nd or 3rd team before he puts it together, like Geno Smith. That’s not a player you draft #1 overall. 
 

I would say Richardson is a bit more raw than Fields coming out. I don’t want another run first, first read pass guy. I’m ready for great passing. That is what wins playoff games. Richardson is nowhere near the level of Cam Newton coming out of Auburn. Cam was a true dual threat until he got injured in 16/17.

Dude, the last qb prospects close to Richardson was Cam Newton and Donavan McNabb. His floor is another Josh Allen.  His Ceiling is whatever he wants to be.

You think he only has a good deep ball and running ability?

Interesting...

    • I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?
    • LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.  
    • After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
