as a Miami hurricanes and Carolina Panthers fan, not thrilled with this pick

 

granted he's been at Oregon for a few years, but was highly rated recruit and was soft his freshman year, couldn't see the field then transferred to Oregon, couldn't see the field at DE at Oregon either so played TE for a while then moved back to LB/DE 

 

could be great I guess because of his athleticism but when it comes to making the NFL, especially as a third round pick ,the production in college is nowhere near where it needs to be not to mention the off the field stuff

sorry you are right.... GMs always get first round talent with first round grades, no teams ever do boneheaded things and miss on players

 

 

"The most impressive performance from a former Tiger, surprising no one, came from Trenton Simpson. The Charlotte native put up 25 reps at 225 pounds on the bench, measured in at a strong 6-foot-2 235 pounds, but his best moment came in the 40.

 

Simpson wowed the crowd with a 4.43 40-yard dash, with a 1.55 10-yard split. His time trailed only Auburn’ Owen Pappoe’s 4.39.

The stellar showing at the combine earned Trenton Simpson a 6.24 prospect grade per NFL.com (8.0 represents a “perfect prospect”). The 6.24 grade places Simpson as the second-best linebacker prospect in this class, behind just Arkansas’ Drew Sanders"

I am not a Clemson homer, but the numbers do not lie. This young man is going to shine in the NFL and being around the $100 million dollar man in Roquan Smith will help him take it to the next level.

This team needed strong LB play and we just drafted a guy who played 3 different positions in 6 years who was likely headed to being undrafted

 

 

What nonsense is this? I’m not disputing that. I’m saying you incorrectly said “he has a first round grade” which is wrong. Because if he had a first round grade he wouldn’t be available at pick 80 lmao.

People miss all the time. But nobody has a first round grade on their he side or he would be gone by now. Use some logic.

Norwood was 6'0 and ran a 4.7

Lol that tweener era was the worst. We brought over that asshat from Indy who wanted to build a whole defense of undersized guys because Dwight Freeney or some dumb poo. Set us back years. Probably part of the reason we overcorrected to draft all the fat asses Gettleman.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
