We gave up a fourth rounder to move up a handful of spots. 🤦‍♀️

DJ was more than likely the last edge rusher on the panthers board after young went.  there isn't a whole lot in FA.  had to do something

Just reading scouting reports, he needs work on a lot, including tackling, and run game recognition. Unless these reports are wrong, this guy is completely developmental, and will need a lot time.

Trading up, using a fourth round pick, for a developmental shot in the dark prospect doesn't feel like it's filling a need.

Our DC who Reich let pick his entire defensive staff had nothing to do with our highest drafted defensive player??

I never said that. I said no one here knows what's going on in that draft room.

Also, appealing to authority is how we get guys defending Everette Browns, Ealys, and Gaudlens.

Appealing to authority? The staff isn’t concerned if people on a board love the pick or not. It’s not going to change their mind. I’d rather just wait and see.

Appealing to Frank Reich and Ejiro Evero is a little bit different than appealing to Marty Hurney.

    • What is your personal grade of this draft?
    • No disrespect intended, but you act as if we are supposed to value your opinion when it is all emotion and no fact.  The roster (I assume you mean offense) is "still trash" because someone who just signed up for the Huddle has declared it to be so?   Buhahaha.  ha.  Let me show you how FACTS work, and why emotional, unsupported opinions don't carry much weight: TE: Upgraded through the draft.  Sanders is a weapon that should improve the passing game and give Bryce an outlet he did not have last year. RB:  We just drafted the best RB in college football, one who can protect the passer, run the ball, and catch the ball like nobody else on the roster.  His knee will be cleared July 1.  OL: We just signed two of the best guards in football.  that is what Payton did to protect Brees.  Ekwonu has the skill and talent, he was simply missing technique.  We got him a better OL coach.  Center?  Bozeman was ineffective last year.  Corbett is an established veteran OLman.  It seems we are much better up front. WR:  We added a guy who gets open and has averaged about 900 yards per game as a #2 in Pittsburgh with an inferior QB there.  Thielen was a 1000 yard WR last season.  We have not had a #2 like XL, with his YAC capabilities and ability to catch contested passes.  In other words, the X is much better; the Z will be replaced with a stud WR, and the veteran slot will probably not be the #1 WR in 2024--he should be the #2 or even #3 most effective WR.  The 2023 Z WR, who had 418 yards and was showing signs of improving, will not be a starter in 2024.   As much as the OL has improved, we improved the weapons.  QB:  All of these additions increase levels of protection for the QB that he did not have last year and they give him more powerful weapons that he did not have last year.  Young will not be a rookie getting hammered trying to throw to people who are not separating.  This should make him improved.  How much? remains to be seen. Now keep in mind that we did this by not reworking contracts and kicking the can down the road.  We did not have a first rounder in the draft.  We added a second rounder to next year's draft.  We also addressed needs on defense as well, adding established DL, OLBs, ILBs, and DBs.  We get 2 first round pick starters who were injured most of the season back on that defense.  Yes, we lost Burns, Luvu, and a few others, but while being good players, they were either asking for too much money or they were not great fits for the system.  So the D should be better as well. That is not trash.
