So let’s talk about Levis

All that talk about him pre-draft was apparently a smokescreen to get CJ Stroud to drop to them. Vegas and even some here fell for it. I always said I don’t want to touch Levis with a 10 foot pole and I was right.  Some rumors now about concerns with Levis having a toe problem but I think it goes deeper than that. I think there are serious concerns about his personality and mentality. 
 

CJ Stroud would never drop more than 2-3 picks. Teams leaked his S2 scores to get him to drop but I think he can play and the tape speaks for itself. It may have even been Levis’s camp that was behind the campaign which may have backfired. Levis potentially lying about being told he would go -#1 overall is a major turnoff as well. 
 

I think someone will take a chance on Levis in Round 2.   Raiders or Titans?

I said it before and I’ll say it again, I think all the Levis and Stroud stuff was from the Colts, they put a lot of BS out there to try and get CJ to Drop past the Texans. Didn’t work and funny to see a team actively try to tank a players stock before the draft.

He must have really messed up when he interviewed with teams.  Washington and Tampa passing on him was surprising.

That was my biggest take away too, but I don’t think him or Hendon Hooker are gonna make it out of round 2

There's no clandestine plan here - someone simply got their hands on (incomplete) S2 test scores and released them for clout.

His Senior tape was AWFUL.

I didn't have first round grades on Young or Levis, so him dropping out of the first round is no surprise.

He has no resume only physical tools, (which are admittedly impressive)

He can't throw to his left, will be 24 years old at the start of the season (Darnold is 25 now with 5 years of NFL experience by comparison) and has failed to ever "put it all together"

For every highlight throw he makes there are 2-3 bonehead lapse of judgment plays in every game. 

If he was 3 years younger with everything else the same I bet hed have been a lock in the top 7. All those tools and still failing to put it all together means teams are going to wonder how much you can actually develop.

I've said from the start dude is Sam Darnold on film with his carelessness with the ball. 

Rest of the NFL seems to agree.

    • Just looking at this moment in time, rather than holding off until we see something for it, I'd have to give it a B+/A-. We added a lot of players and a lot of potential. We may have reached a bit with our first pick, but the simple move to make it at the end of the first round gave us a shot to make it last a bit longer if he really blossoms here. That was a pretty smart move and had a lot to do with Morgan and Beane's relationship I think.  Picking up an injured running back in the second sounds like a foolish move, but honestly, it's a solid gamble. We know what the floor would be on the pick, that he might never play at a professional level due to that injury. And honestly, that is the floor on any pick you make. The ceiling on the guy could potentially be immense. He was outstanding on a mighty fine team that was pass heavy and he doesn't have a lot of mileage. If that knee heals up completely (and we have a lot of experience with that in Carolina), he could be a massive steal and just what Bryce needs. There are a lot of people harping on our LB pick, but man, I always take it with a grain of salt when folks decry a player's "football intelligence." It's one of those criticisms that is easy to lodge against a young guy, but really hard to quantify. It might be nothing. His reputation for being a hard hitter and instinctual tackler are more important I think. He's going to have a good mentor in Shaq in the LB room and there's an institutional strength in our LB corps that could give him quite a boost. Our TE pick in the fourth may very well be the steal of the draft. I think we're going to see some serious production out of him. I'm hoping for something Olsen-like. He's definitely an upgrade to what we have now. And from there, well, the tea leaves get a little harder to read. I think Morgan did well with the trading and he cast a wide net for positions. We're going to have to see how it all shakes out, but just based on the three days of picks and the work that went into them, it was a good performance, better than I expected.
    • The 5th year option wasn't even considered.  I don't care what Dan says. They traded up because they got wind someone was interested in Legette. Whether that interest was real or made up is unknown. 
    • Yeah man, Beane really fuged us for that... *Checks notes* 5th round pick. fug, how will we ever recover?
