To anyone who thinks this changes draft plans for the 2nd rounder, you're kidding yourselves.

I'm guessing this is a cheaper contract and more or less puts Shi on notice, can't see us keeping both of them, likely one or the other with whoever plays better in camp.

The 2nd round pick still needs to be a WR and hope we hit on a good one.  Our current WR room right now is an injury prone #1 on a 1 year deal, a #2 who has shown flashes of some skill but yet to breakout after a few years, a 33 year old slot who is the veteran presence, and then Laviska, Shi, and now Byrd.

Still far from what you want to be giving a rookie QB, gotta take a WR in the 2nd and if needed, move up a bit into the back of the first or earlier in the 2nd to get someone if nobody worth that pick will fall to us.

You misspelled OG…

Best highlight comp

 

Hard to get overly excited about an 8 year vet who's highlight roll includes college games, but I like the signing. Especially at the price! Hope he balls TF out.

      Absolutely LOVED Smitty as a player. Who didn't? But Smitty the person, yeah... not so much. Unfortunately all those things that made us love him as a player had no off switch. He was basically the exact same person off the field that was on the field and that's obviously just not gonna work well in polite society.

      And our record says we were a losing team that lucked into getting into the playoffs. Playoffs are not our standard because we didn't earn our way in, the Falcons had to do it for us. We also got in because the NFCS sent another losing record team to the playoffs and the Panthers are the only team in the NFL to go twice with a losing record. That's not something to be proud of. The reason I brought up the 13 and 16 point scores was those are not typically wins most weeks in the NFL. In fact, there were 31 wins this season where the winning team scored under 20. 7 of those happened in week 18. That means this past season, only 11% of the time, the winning team scored under 20. Prior to week 18, that was 9%. Week 18 was a statistical anomaly.  How often does a team go into the red zone 6 times and come away with 13 points? Not often. GB did and we won that game. And we played a Jets team (0-7 at the time) that was offensively inept. Teams also don't consistently win one score games as often as we did either. Those things tend to balance themselves out the following year. I'm not erasing wins. I'm looking at how this team actually performed during the season. We defied the odds winning 2 games scoring under 20. The record, and the stats across the NFL, show we are in reality closer in performance to a 6 win team than we are to 8.    If Bryce was a FA for another team would we be looking at him? Probably not. He's in the retread and dice roll category. It just so happens we just signed him to the option. There's not a lot of good options out there right now. That's why I'm not in the sign a vet as QB2 club. Bring in a retread or dice roll. Trotting a vet out a couple of games isn't going to get us anywhere long term.

      Not sure he is in the top ten but: His 9.99 RAS score, second among 1,512 tackles since 1987, isn't a gimmick. You see every bit of that explosiveness translate to the field when he kicks and slides in pass sets. NFLDraftBuzz
