Seems like a Gettleman or Hurney type pick where something obvious was staring the war room in the face but they got cute and went with "upside"

But, but, but we have this new so awesome staff. Lol.  I think many are in for a let down with this staff.

Don't love the trade but I understand it. He's a high risk high reward guy. He may end up being a double digit sack guy that Evero eventually unlocks and he may never have a sack. 

I definitely think we need to call Leonard Floyd

With all the years spent doing the complete opposite in favor of defense, I am perfectly fine with this finally being the offense that benefits more for a change.

This x100

Everybody kept bitching that we would always put offense on the back burner in drafts. Now that we finally did the opposite (like everybody wanted), now everybody saying we should have went defense early lol I for one am absolutely HYPED on Mingo. Dude has all the tools to become a LEGIT #1 ala AJ Brown type.

Just a reminder.. there is  a group of professionals that have been researching, grading, and talking over 1,000 prospects since last fall. If the FO has conviction on him then I trust them.

In reality they've been scouting most of these guys since high-school. The Panthers evaluate 2 years of players game film as well.

Coaches have an arrogant way of thinking they can fix everybody. This feels like they had to reach for Evero to give him something of value after taking Mingo in the 2nd. 
 

The low production and character concerns tell me this guy is somebody we should’ve waited for. But If he works out, nobody will remember or cafe that we traded up for him. 
 

Eviro knows the kind of players he’s looking for to match the scheme so they’re looking at the position and the board much different than most people. I’m meh … but will trust the coaching process. 
 

Im hoping we get some oLine / corner depth on the last day 

I don’t think it’s about hitting on everyone, I think it’s about hitting on some and having a star on your hands.

Some of them need to start working out real quick though.

Basically, this draft came down to Bryce Young over CJ Stroud at QB and WR Mingo over OLB/Edge Ojulari.  Johnson was a pick to minimize the damage by not taking Ojulari.  I see Mingo's upside and I think he could be great. 

Another thing to remember:  We had Eke Leota in for a visit, along with 3 other teams.  I think he is a diamond in the rough--he could be an undrafted free agent, but I doubt it.   https://www.nfl.com/prospects/eku-leota/32004c45-4f77-2615-e3d6-a2255f6293d2

Pick should have been edge round 2, tight end round 3. WR isn’t as much of a need with offseason signings. Plus a rookie WR isn’t gonna do much to help a rookie QB. Don’t like the pick based on need and value. 

damn, tepper did you see this? hire him immediately as the head of our scouting dept!

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Its too late for that.  Time has run out.  You dont give him a ext if he plays "decent".  He played "decent" at the end of last year and look what happened.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By woahfraze · Posted

      I’m not necessarily advocating sticking with Bryce. His highs show the ability is there, but there’s enough bad film out there to doubt that he can consistently enough play at a high enough level. But this video from Brett Kollman is a pretty good argument to give it a bit more time, whether that be rolling with Bryce just next year or picking up his 5th year option (not extending him).      The gist is that the structural (wider hashes) and rule (3 yd vs 1 yd thresholds for intelligible offensive lineman downfield penalties) differences in the college and NFL have led to wildly different play calling and scheme diets in college. There is much more shotgun and RPO calls in college and screen/quick throws. This simply doesn’t set up young QBs to be able to play under center, which is more preferred in the NFL due to RBs being able to more effectively run out of that formation.  They don’t know how to do it and have to learn. Yes, the NFL has trended more toward college style offense in the last decade or so, but it isn’t that pronounced and is more out of necessity than desire. And on top of all that, they ask the young QBs to do all this learning with coaching and other personnel churn going on around them.  Bad results lead to coaches getting fired and new ones with different ideas on scheme and footwork and different terminology and playbooks coming in. It makes it harder on those young QBs to learn.     So we may drop Bryce for a young QB starter in the draft and be in a similar situation. With a QB who is going to take years to learn how to operate in an NFL style offense and will struggle along the way.  So you have to weigh whether the struggles we see from Bryce are more due to this learning process vs solely physical limitations on his part. It’s almost undoubtedly a bit of both, but the answer to that question I think dictates your strategy at QB over the next few years. And of course, you have to consider what the alternatives available are.    I’m neither a Bryce hater or a Bryce Stan and I don’t have an answer to that question. But I do fear that if we move on from him, unless it’s for an established player, we’re just in for continued frustration on the QB front because it’s going to take a few years for a college QB to develop (Drake Maye’s don’t grow on trees).
