Added bonus Diontae is actually 5'10" 180 so we'll get a real world assessment of BY's size in camp. Settle the size mystery once and for all

We know his actual height from the combine.  5'10" 1/8 was the official measurement.

To put things in perspective…I was trolling a Steelers board and they are saying Donte was: 

Healthy in 2023 and had one of his best years

Tackles well for his size

A ball hawk

Small but plays a lot bigger

Still runs a 4.3 40

Team guy who never takes plays off

An excellent punt returner

I can’t be the only one that saw him get easily blocked against most runs and he is seriously injury prone.  He takes a lot of plays off and was always a liability.  Just my opinion

Well, that's really not the point, and it somewhat speaks to my point. You don't have to be blazing fast to make it. 4.39 is plenty, especially for a receiver that is quick and has a knack for getting open. Ladd is that guy. Talk about his lack of prototypical size (he's not as small as some or as big as some), or talk about his injuries, but you can't credibly use speed as a reason not to draft him.

Needs:

  • Edge (even if we sign one--second rounder)
  • Corner (Must be a second rounder unless we sign one) 
  • Wide Receiver 
  • Tight End 
  • Sam LB (to replace YGM)
  • Will LB
  • Center

I’d probably still go WR with one of the 2nds, but instead of C, I’d go CB or DE with the other 2nd.

True but he has made some really good open field tackles, against RBs too.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
