I wouldn't shock me if the try to convert Pickney to TE.  They keep holding on to these underweight TEs on the PS like Matthew and Pierce.  I think even Sullivan was lite when he first got here and has put on weight since.  Problem being we can't find the complete package.  We either have blocking TEs that aren't proficient pass catchers (Thomas and Tremble) or guys like I previously mentioned that more like tall WRs, but can't block for nothing.

I don’t think Pinkney has the body type to bulk up to a tight end. I’ve watched him and he is a pure receiver. It’s possible he could get up to 240 and play around an Isaiah Likely mold but I’m not sure. He reminds me a lot of DJ Chark.

I guess if I had to bet a dollar….I’ll guess the Gamecock C.  Only because we need a C and for whatever reason the Panthers have an unhealthy relationship with the Gamecocks.  But it is weird how different franchises gravitate to dudes from certain schools. 
 

and I have no idea if he wasn’t even an average C,  I do know that OL got beat like a drum his whole career 

To be fair we (Gamecocks) put out a lot of good pros. Name the last bust that came from us at wr that was drafted? Outside of maybe Ace Sanders there aren't many. Even Damiere Byrd has had a decent career from where he was drafted.

Why all the ILB's and no help on edge? 

Apparently this draft wasn't loaded with edge help. I think I heard that after the 1st round the pickings were slim and would need a lot of development. Whether that is true or not I couldn't say.

Coker will have a great mentor in Theilen.  Theilen was an undrafted rookie as well.

Each year I pick  UDFA that makes the team or PS. Coker is my man in 2024.

Outside of Smitty really liking him I love that he's a great route runner.

There's plenty of room on the Coker bus for everyone. Glad others are excited for him too.

I'm excited for any receiver that can take someone's spot in the wr room. Same goes for any other room in the building. I'm that desperate for anything positive.

SC is SEC, they are the highest competition in college ball. Maybe think asbout like SC is generally a basement type, ands they play against the best. So a WR from SC that is succeeding is probably doing it against a bit tougher competition than the guys from the best teams.

    • Big opportunity for Nadeau if he gets called up. 
    • I think OL is a pretty low overall concern but every single offseason there should be an attempt to upgrade through the draft. Edge rusher there are no easy answers, IMO. If a truly elite prospect falls to us in the 1st, that is fine. This draft seems to be much more heavy on 3-4 DE's or 4-3 DE's than it is on elite EDGE guys. You just have to keep plugging away every offseason and hope it works out. I don't think it's worth trading a ton of draft capital over at the moment, despite being a crucial roster weakness. Do the best you can and build a better roster and maybe eventually we will be in a position to be making a Parsons level trade.
    • I understand that a capable OC is desirable but I also understand, or think I might, the dynamics with the staff and maybe I’m wrong but I do not see Canales firing his offensive right hand guy without significant pressure from Morgan or Tepper to do so.  So that, in addition to Canales stating pretty definitively, that he was keeping play calling.     I don’t know what you do in that circumstance. It would need to be important enough to you to make it worth firing Canales to get your OC play caller.    To that, if Canales not being good so far at play calling (and we only have the one year in TB to factor with what we have see here), is accepted as a given, it is only fair and honest to consider what an impediment having to construct and administer an offense around Bryce Young’s game would be to an OC. I would say it is a big complication, big surprise there.  You won’t know about Canales 100% until you remove Bryce from the equation and get him a clean slate to create from - without the Bryce restrictions.  And yeah you will likely end up without a top notch high flying offense. But it still *could* be much better than it is now. In the right hands.  So that is potentially what we’re looking at. I suppose we could keep Bryce and bring in a college style coach and design a Bryce rollout offense or something and see if that helped. I am not in favor of that, probably the last thing I would want.  We could do nothing, which I am not in favor of. We could fire Canales and keep Bryce (my least preferred option). We could get rid of both, which I would begrudgingly accept but would lament the interruption of the continuity that a 3rd year would provide.  You could get rid of Bryce and get a couple of new QB prospects in here, vets, drafts, whatever… that would be my choice.  I am afraid I know how it’s gonna go. All I can really say about that is, there has not been a single time in three years that I looked at the upcoming game and felt like we were gonna win because we have Bryce Young playing QB. Because of what he could do with the ball in his hands. Not once. Sure there have been a handful of games that he was part of the reason we won, a couple he was a big part, but not enough times to feel like that is my expectation. At best, it is cross your fingers and hope for good Bryce.
