I never understood taking a guy that has crazy athleticism but poor production.

Like... he had that same athleticism in college, and didn't produce jack shtt with it. You expect him to somehow do even better in the pros? Going against much better competition? Where his athleticism doesn't even stand out anymore?

Starting with Rhule we adopted this mindset that we could “coach up” players with superior athletic traits. That mindset has failed us every time.

Heard an interesting point on wfnz (shocking I know). It no longer makes sense for gms, coaches to draft players that need "coaching up" but have raw athletic ability. By the time they reach that potential if they ever do, you're already fired. If they haven't proven it in college already they're going to get you fired in 2 years. Stop drafting guys on potential and draft fuging football players. Wallace over Payton Wilson for just one example. You want Dawgs Dan but how about you start with healthy guys that know how to play the position you're drafting them to play.

Works at lower levels, but NFL players need a prerequisite level of football tools coming in.  There's simply not enough time to learn how to be an NFL player at age 23 or whatever.  It's a progression of skill through high school and college.

The panthers like guys with great ability and no skills.

NFL Draft Riser ...

They also like guys with great skill and no ability.

      This was the first time I’ve seen him play. Very impressive guy. Does he play well within structure as well? You can’t live on out of structure play in the NFL.

      But they exist in that space precisely because they were the outliers with big arms and other elite traits(especially athletically). I would never look past a sub 6 foot QB with a similar profile to those guys. That's basically what I mean. My list of prospects is never going to auto delete based on stature. It's definitely a reason to take a more in depth look to make sure they are going to translate. Bryce fooled me with his playmaking ability. I thought it was going to translate well, ignored all his throwing mechanics issues and gave more credit to his abilities than the superstar team around him. I am not going to do that again.

      I agree but the 1 and a half guys that have fit is a small hit percentage. I agree the other stuff matters more. If Murray wasn't a dud between the ears it would be 2 and not 1 in that category. It's deffinatly not as high as ability, tools and skills.  Yeah really weak arm is a huge red flag. Paired with poor footwork should be a hell no.
