Oh great another Brandon Smith. Feels like nothing has changed in the war room since Tepper took over

Yep exact same sh!t

”building through the draft” sounds great in theory but we’re once again just pissing away picks. 

This team would be much better trading picks for proven talent. There were actual people here who didn’t want to trade 33 or 39 for Brandon Aiyuk.

Instead we got a RB and LB. The most Panthers draft ever

right, because no other teams have RBs and LBs.

This guy is a pure physical specimen who plays fast and angry. He needs to get better at the mental part of the game and improve his ability to shed blocks and read plays, but he has all the tools to be an awesome LB for us. If we could somehow get Luke to take a break from his hunting and fishing trips and have him mentor this kid that would be perfect.

I have not seen Trevin Wallace play, and I bet 99% of people complaining haven’t seen him play… but don’t let stand in the way of you complaining 

I am going way out on a limb here--I bet Morgan knows more about LB than Huddlers with a bad attitude.

I think that you're mixing up RAS for upside. We presumably have good good coaches, and we certainly have people closely associated with the franchise and actually closely associated with the GM that know a little something about playing WR and LB. Canales was a WRs coach for goodness sakes. You pick the guys with the upside and coach them up. 

That's the same argument I heard for the last two staffs and the guys we drafted back then.

Unfortunately, until that actually happens, I am going to be very skeptical.

I don't think they've taken BPA at each pick, which has lead to some reaching, but the 2nd and 3rd rounders are definitely football players who also happen to be hyper athletic. 

Legette - yeah, that's a strange one for me. 

Yep. We apparently are anti-BPA. Plus all the trading up and down to get guys that seem like reaches.......boy that all seems really familiar.....

That's totally fair. But like I've been saying: it's a new day.

Sounds like the LB or DE we drafted last year with one of the CMC picks. “We love our selves ah good project don’t we bahs”.

the weird thing is that most of these places have him pegged as a 3rd rounder

the crime is that we didn’t take a guy from their Alma mater

Show me recent situations where we thought we were smarter than the rest of the league and it worked out. I can show you dozens of examples of that not being the case.

I am not going to applaud hubris. Especially when it has nothing to back it up.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
