I don’t understand what’s going on in this place. Sign an OG with zero all pros and people are calling him top 5 in the league. Have the chance to sign an All pro linebacker and saying he’s above average but not a top LB like wtf is going on here.

Stop conflating. Queen would be great for us, not downing the guy by any means.

Because another team valued him more. Talk about scheme all you want but I very seriously doubt Luvu left money on the table to sign with the Commanders. We valued offensive guards more. A LOT more.

It was a similar contract.  Luvu WANTED to play for the Commanders because he liked the scheme and wanted to play for Quinn.  FREE agents are FREE to sign with other teams, even for less or equal money if they want. 

He also allows 75% of passes to be completed thrown towards him ranking him 12th worst in the league.

So you wanted us to prioritize and overpay a linebacker to keep him?  Marty, is that you?

He just wants to be upset about something.  The man is mad we paid OGs.  After watching last year everyone should want this.  

I don't like that we have an arguably top 5 OG top 5 LT money. That's not what smart teams do.

I mean... it's not like a Panthers fan has far to look to find something to be upset about. We don't have to go nitpicking. LOL

The Eagles just paid their OG a similar contract.  Hunt is the one you are referring to because the other OG was a reasonable contract.  Hunt is just a back loaded 3 year deal being incredibly cheap this year.  We can walk away after year 3 with no money loss.  

We should keep trying different OGs like last year though because that worked out GREAT.

How’d that work out for us this past season?

Lol they were great at avoiding them for sure. If they can't draft OGs or DTs they shouldn't be drafting anything.

How did it work for their QB? Or 2nd round WRs? We can do this all day with a poorly run team.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
