Also of note,  Brady Christensen might be the only offensive lineman we hit on as well if ickey looks the same next year.

To me Ickey looked more lost then anything, I'm willing to say that was more bad coaching then talent. Teams ran all kinds of line stuns all season and it seem to work all year over there.

He wasn't the best at pass blocking coming in but having to block for a QB in shotgun all day probably don't fit his game tho

BC should have always been the backup LT/swing T don't know why Rhule never gave him a shot to see what he had in him at his natural position...

Guess how many of those players turned into pro bowlers or blue chip starters??

 

Zero.

 

I count about 3 players who are decent.

Tremble, Hubbard, and Brady Christensen.  Horn has been hurt too much to put him in that group. Brady Christensen is teetering because he's had 2 seasons of getting injured.

 

2022 and 2023 drafts have 0 impact starters.

We been talking about head coaches so much I think the gm hire is a lot more important. Even looking further down our franchises draft history we have a tendency to miss on the majority of our picks no matter the year.

In all fairness, if Horn could stay healthy, he is bordering on Revis island level of shutdown. Unfortunately he just can't stay healthy, and is made worse by the fact that he didnt have injury concerns prior to being drafted.

I still think we should buy low on him now and give him a good contract while he is still cheapish and hope he can avoid the injury bug.

As for the rest of the picks... Yeah, they sucked. I still think Icky is good in the right scheme and think Mays is solid depth. But yeah, those are some ugly drafts...

A better list is one that features players we passed on in positions of need.  To me, taking a flyer on a player when there were few other options is one thing, but drafting busts and watching those picked after them at the same position prospers is agonizing.  I can't watch Houston now because it pisses me off.  I am one of the few who have not totally given up on Bryce, but I am not feeling very good about him right now.

    • For Bryce’s obvious shortcomings (bad pun), there is upside to his game. This isn’t being a homer or apologists, but I like to consider myself fair in criticism.  He’s far tougher than I ever thought he’d be. I really thought homie would have been broken in half by now. I don’t know how he’s not, but he’s not.  He is prone to turning the ball over early in games which digs a huge hole the team is not built to come back from, but dude DOES come up with crucial first down in crucial situations. It’s NEVER pretty, but he just kind of has the shining. He gets bailed out LOTS, and the team still loses games because of him, but he’s a bit of an enigma. He’s a turnover machine that is clutch in big moments.  He’s a smart/elusive cat. He kind of has to be with his limitations. His audibles are almost always correct and he understands coverages. I don’t see him getting fooled too frequently. His turnovers are almost never the ‘damnit Jake/Cam!’ brand we have been accustomed to. They are ALWAYS due to his size/strength limitations.  Strip sacks that shouldn’t be. Picks that happened because he just don’t got that NFL arm. He is still prone to panicking and the wheels can and do fall off at a much higher rate than his peers.  The team is winning on the backs of the defense, running game and special teams… but they’re winning, and unbelievably 1 game behind Tampa. As long as this is happening and Bryce doesn’t go full meltdown, Dave is going to keep him in. He is not getting pulled. 
    • This was a terrible podcast. A bunch of uninformed homers that had worse takes than the bottom 10% of the Huddle. I listened to a handful of podcasts this past offseason in search of new Panthers material since John Ellis doesn't do his pod anymore and The 4 Man Rush don't either. Immediately deleted it after the handful I listened to. Truly terrible.
    • The NFC South was so bad it sent a team with a losing record to the Playoffs that year. Wilks had players playing hard at the end but let’s not act like that was a good season. That season hurts even more now that we see in hindsight how good our QB situation was. We just didn’t know it.
