there's this part of me that isn't really loving the CBs, mainly because the WRs have been so great. Is it partly because the CBs in college haven't been that good? 

i find myself just avoiding CBs unless it's late in the draft. 

OL looks good in this class, but i really don't want to miss out on offensive play makers. we need them badly. if anything i want to overload in that direction.

I get that about the CBs--I just think we had a need and I like the quality that should be there in the middle.  I think there are a large number of CBs who will make a roster--not seeing to many Revis Islands.  I would be fine re-signing S Griffin and maybe a nickel late.

Thank God. I've been saying we need to sign the best OG we can and move Brady Christensen to the bench. He'd be great depth as a solid player who can play guard or tackle on either side of the OL.

LT: Ickey, Christensen
LG: FA, Christensen
OC: Bozeman (Jackson Powers-Johnson would be GREAT here...)
RG: Corbett, Christensen
RT: Moton, Christensen

BC could backup every position--I was thinking we gave him some snaps at C as a rookie, but I might be wrong.  He is athletic, smart, and most NFL teams covet the swing tackles.  I think we are going to sign a G free agent and draft a T--maybe with #65

North Andover's Zak Zinter A 2nd-Team Academic All-America At Michigan

draft zak zinter 33 overall...profit

He was probably an early second rounder before the injury--however, I am thinking he could go late second early third.  I would love him--but these hogs with lower body injuries lose luster until they have proven they can return to form

i wouldn't mind avoiding all IOL this draft. 

Me as well.  I tend to mock one late anyway, but honestly, we have depth now that needs further developing.  See what we have with Zavala, Mayes Jensen and DiRenzo before kicking the tires on another long term project.  I mean, in theory, BC still has to get beat out for his job.  He got replaced due to injury.  I think we draft for skill positions and go FA in the trenches.  If we sign a solid LG in FA, we have the depth for the IOL, they simply need to be heavily coached up.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By fanpanther · Posted

      This is a good take it really is to the point dc needs to let the world see the real byoung b/c right now everyone in the media and tepper has had blinders on when it comes to young.  Its hard to even know where the panthers are at skill player wise with such horrible qb play.  I doubt it but legette may be a probowl wr he just cant throw the ball and catch it.  I am just so sick of every excuse in the book for byoung.  LIstened to a podcast and the guy was going over how many different options byoung had on the int and all of them were ok except for the one where he threw an int.  He said the play could be run by a hs qb and they would typically make a good decision.

      We have a Dave Canales Problem

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I certainly have my complaints about Canales but I'm not ready to fire him yet for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, Tepper has made this one of the least appealing jobs in the league. Morgan and Canales are here to begin with in large part because guys higher on the wish list take other jobs. If you fire Canales you're gonna end up replacing him with another third tier candidate who wasn't being seriously considered by other teams with openings. That's just the reality of the situation right now as far as I can tell. Secondly, despite plenty of room for critique, we are 6-6 despite the worst QB play in the league. That's really damn hard to pull off in the modern NFL. Especially when your D isn't dominant. Our D is greatly improved but is still a slightly below average overall defense ranking 18th in yards per game allowed and 20th in points allowed. Going 6-6 with atrocious QB play and slightly below average defensive play is pretty damn impressive. Even more impressive when you also factor in that we're in the red on turnovers differential at -3. When you combine league worst QB play with slightly below average D and negative turnover differential honestly you'd expect to be in play for the #1 overall pick, not 6-6 and having just played a game that a win would have you leading the division. So yeah, even though I'm far from sold I advocate for patience with Canales for the time being. If you ask me if I'm bringing him back next year, I'm a yes barring a catastrophic meltdown down the stretch which admittedly is very much a possibility.
