Carlos Dunlap

I wouldnt mind us getting him. I would prefer us getting a WR first then if he is there with the next pick then we should get him. WR is our biggest need now that we have re-signed Brayton. We have three defensive ends that can start, I would say we need one more for insurance purposes but wide reciever should be our #1 priority.

in my humble opinion, the WR class this year is super deep and if in the second round, the one or two guys that we have been eyeing are no longer there, draft the best player available in one of the other positions of need if they are ranked higher on their overall board. there will be plenty of good receivers in the third. that is where we got smitty after all...

WR class is deep but not particularly stellar. there just isn't a whole lot of separation between talent. what you get in the 3rd or 4th round won't be a whole lot of drop-off from what you get in the 1st or 2nd.

dunlap can be a beast but he has motivational issues. there are other players i would rather have that don't have those issues and that haven't been found passed out in his car in the middle of an intersection just before the biggest game of the year.

we just got rid of one headcase and i'd rather not replace him with another.

Do teams really set up smoke screens for 2nd round picks...?

I was just messing around.

It's not that I disagree that "smokescreening" takes place, but most on the Huddle seem to think that the Panthers aren't interested in any of the athletes they've been linked to so far -- that all of these workouts and meetings are just to make teams think we're interested.

Hell, we're also smokescreening Armanti Edwards, and he'll go much later.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
