Young will be the pick. He has the personality, drive, and attitude to be the best in the league although he would say he just wants to be the best version of himself. He was a psych major and had great teachers and mentors along the way. I am not as worried as I was about injuries when he said he was always smaller than everyone else and just takes that as a given. So he knows how to avoid contact and not take full body assaults. He really seems special. I honestly have changed my mind and readily see what the coaches see in Young. I like everyone will be rooting for good health.

Very unsure of this draft, unlike most others here. Awaiting for the other shoe to drop as Tepper has made or influenced a bone-head decision at least once or twice every off-season, IMO. Is Young the one or will there be another with lesser impact? Could Stroud be the pick despite being favored by at least one of the draft "experts", who has a record of picking busts dating back for years. IMO, 2nd has to be edge or CB with the rest of draft being balanced between O & D. Just don't think it is too wise to draft 6-7 players on one side, ala Rhule, or 3 picks at one position, ala G-Man.

Young #1

Picking up a WR, EDGE, and LB for sure. I could see another DL.

Expecting a trade down from #39 and for one of the last two picks to be involved in a second move on day 3.

Honestly, no idea. This will be the first draft w/o Rhule so I'm interested in seeing how much influence Fitterer had last season as well as what type of players he covets. There's also trying to find out who Reich, Brown, and Evero prefer as well for what they run. I'm excited to see how that plays out.

I think we trade down and take Richardson.   He has all the tools that can't be coached that young and Stroud will never have.   

If they take AR it will be 1st overall.  I doubt they can convince Huston to trade up for Young or Stroud and going down any further risks missing out all together.  Unless they decide to go with Levis.  But I think Levis is going higher than most think. Fans do not like him but quite a few teams do. I expect some trading up if a couple of guys drop out of the top 5. It's going to be a wild draft.

 Here at No. 1, I could see the Panthers debating whether to take Ohio State's C.J. Stroud because his pocket passing could be a positive to Frank Reich,  given his work with Matt Ryan, Carson Wentz and Philip Rivers in Indianapolis , but Alabama's Bryce Young is probably the favorite of ownership and the front office.

Some team people say they think the Panthers wants Young, although others think the franchise wants Stroud.

Right now, I am leaning toward Young. The only knock on him (5-10, 204) is his size, but he was durable overall in his two years as a starter in the SEC.

      Nice to win, but Tim Weaver of SI has key duds among the studs

      It is hard to win in the NFL. I’m never going to put an * next to a Dub.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      We had a very favorable matchup our o-line manhandles theirs. Even Etienne looked like he would have had a great game on his limited rushing opportunities.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I think that's part of the problem, he's spreading the ball around too much, many of them are the first read play calls, and on top of that, a large portion of them are purposefully called screens or other short passes. I just looked, the Cardinals are the only other team in the league right now without at least 3 players with 100+ yards receiving so far this year, with the majority of teams having 4 or more.  And even then, their #2 right now is McBride with over 200 yards. Our 2nd leading receiver this year has 108 yards (albeit with 4 more players with 82 or more). On the surface, that might not be as alarming as you might think, but when you add into it that Bryce is currently 6th in the league in pass attempts, and it's even more alarming that he hasn't gotten a 3rd player to 100 yards so far and his second highest is only 108. XL has 39 yards on 18 targets.  Renfrow has 82 yards on 24 targets.  Tremble has 87 on 16 targets.  Sanders has 92 on 14 targets. None of those are good enough, so why aren't we calling more plays with T-Mac as the first read and forcing the ball to him (and again, that's not me wanting my guy to get more targets, that's me wanting more targets for the only productive pass catcher so far this year, I'd feel the same no matter what that player's name was). All of this is why I have issues with Canales' play calling.  How do you have a player who had 73 yards in the first half and then you only give him 1 target in the 2nd half despite playing from behind the majority of that time? You can be happy about the win, happy about Dowdle getting 200 yards, but in a game where your QB threw it 30 times, I can't accept the above sentence in the same breath, that's just terrible play calling, which is on top of the already predictable play calling in general, which is also on top of boring play designs as well. Add it all up, and THAT is why I'm unhappy even after a win, not because "my guy" didn't have a bigger game.
