Yeah dunno if he's gonna be the get the ball out in 2.7 seconds guy sitting on the board. We cannot afford for our top draft pick to be a project. I would go Darius Robinson over most of these wr's at 33

I like Robinson as an end in a 3-4

Now do Mingo, Shenault, and Legette.

Thank you for bringing up Shenault.  I nearly did it but got lazy.  Our big body WR experiment failed year after year but glad huddlers are not quitters.  Honestly, no one here is.

They are hardly the same receiver, and if you look at analysis of Legette, he has that type of upside. If you think I'm going to take the simplistic analysis of Huddlers over pros, it's not going to happen.

Shenault was never going to be much more than he is as a receiver because he has issues tracking the ball. This was a flaw coming out of college. It's not something that you can fix. Either you can track the ball proficiently or you can't. It's got nothing to do with your body type. That's a simplistic way to judge potential.

That's kinda what people do with draft prospects though, talk about NFL comps.

Yes, but they're not really comping measurables as much as they are comping playing styles. They make look at measurables, but playing styles are the priority when it comes to comps.

Oh lord, how many times did I hear that when I expressed concerns about Bryce Young's diminutive size and weak arm about this time last year? LOLOLOL

    • Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers. 
    • Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production. 
    • I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
