Richardson was my guy but I always thought he'd require a coach that could reign in his wanting to run and build an offense around him. Frank was never going to be that guy. Stroud was my 2, and

Bryce wasn't even in the 1st 3 rounds.

There hasn't been a long term successful QB that size in 60 years.

There's a reason. I don't care how big his brain is, if he didn't play at Bama and have all the S2 hype, he would have been a day 3 pick. 

I could have accepted a gamble on Bryce in the late first but I agree. I mean I wouldn’t have been happy but that is about as high as I could understand given the risk. He was just off of my board if he was going so high. 

Flutie was the closest I can think of size wise and he had a real good arm if I recall. I’m not going to look for Flutie highlights. But he was very close to Young in height and weight.

My thing is we are in a different era and speed is more a part of the game than ever, and certainly 20 years ago which was about Flutie’s last season when he was pretty much done even as a backup.

He was the closest to being something that I can remember. And he sort of was, but that was 25-30 years ago. I’m real skeptical of that translating to modern day.

Interviews and S2 clearly have no indicators for success, it’s a sport where athletic ability is 95% of the requirement. Bruce may have aced the “pattern recognition” part of the test but when you’re 5’9 and can’t see the whole field you can’t even see the patterns to be able to recognize them.  These GMs and scouts are way too over-analytical, you always go with the better athlete unless there’s a serious attitude problem

Interviews are super important, especially the whiteboard work.

You played football in college did you....? Well hell, I'm going to bake you a congratulatory cake when I'm able to!  I know someone else on here who did as well and then played a little arena ball in AF1 back when it was actually worth a poo and you could make an honest livable wage. They played D1 at an SEC school (they werent great but won two back to back Carquest Bowls. Not the most prestigious of bowls but decent memories either way) but they dont claim to know it all just because they did mr. college football player. Gosh, I wish I knew someone else on here who played college ball if its that impressive. I guess some don't feel they have to brag, I don't know? Those two a days in SC summers were probably rough weren't they. How on earth did you get through them?

Actually my Conan condescending spill wasn't really funny so I agree with you but what was funny is you getting all upset and pissing your underoos wanting to fight a guy for calling you a dummy on a message board! Now that poo was funny mr college football! I didn't call you dummy so please don't whoop my ass mr college football.

Lol are you ok? Why you so mad? Never claimed to know to all. I simply said myself and others in this thread couldve drafted better than Fitterer and Morgan which could’ve easily been done. Also said XL wasn’t a good pick which is a fair opinion, especially with his current camp performance. Hell, I could’ve literally drafted from Mel Kipers best available with no research and the Panthers would’ve been better off.  Your passive aggressiveness and condescending tone is ridiculous. Also by reading some of your other posts you seem like a very troubled person but the way you speak to others.  I’m done talking to you. Peace. ✌

It's not even that they're long shots.  They're almost always older "raw" prospects.  I don't even normally see them as potential high ceiling guys.  People comparing him to Metcalf like it's a given but he's shorter, has much shorter arms, and small hands.  It's like we draft old "raw" guys but still draft for high floor instead of ceiling.

so much this. Raw young players have (potentially) high ceilings. Old raw players? Not so much

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
