Our Picks According to PFT


Recommended Posts

I think the QB thing is getting a little ridiculous...matt Moore is 25 and needs a veteren presence behind him, not some rookie QB. The FO hasn't selected a QB since la-whatever from louisville. I just don't see it happening. They will eventually sign a veteren QB and develope cantwell. I think it's honestly all the pundits guessing...like when they have us drafting a receiving tight end in nearly every mock draft over the last 5 years.

As for gilyard I just don't like him in the second round...their are a handful if guys I like way better and that list starts with Taylor price. I just don't want gilyard in the second...it would be a huge reach based on need.

if gilyard falls to our pick i'd be the happiest panther alive. i've seen video of him making some pretty tough catches, one handed stuff and the like. and, once he gets the ball it's over. his change of direction, vision, and elusiveness is unmatched in the wide receiver pool of draft choices. we have plenty of smaller defensive tackles. i don't see why we need jones.

Mardy Gilyard = Keary Colbert

I think he's a little shiftier but not worthy of our 2nd round pick. If Gilyard is our best option I'd rather take a DT and then try to take Price in the 3rd. At least he has great straight line speed that can develop into something special.

whatever, gilyard is the next desean jackson, and we'd be idiots to pass on him. he's definitely no keary colbert. you can compare their highlight reels and you'll see the difference. gilyard knows how to catch the ball, and he knows how to get down field. some of you people just completely surprise me sometimes.

Not satisfied, this is what I want and I will not be happy until we get it.

Why take a QB at all if you're going to wait until that late in the draft and you already have Hunter Cantwell? (yes, I've heard of a guy named Tom Brady)

Because this years QB class sucks.

You may have heard of Tom Brady, but have you heard of these guys...

Matt Schaub/ Texans starter/ Round 3

David Garrard/ Jaguars starter/ Round 4

Kyle Orton/ Broncos starter/ Round 4

A.J. Feeley/ Rams starter/ Round 5

Matt Hasselbeck/ Seahawks starter/ Round 6

Bruce Gradkowski/ Raiders starter/ Round 6

Matt Cassel/ Chiefs starter/ Round 7

Ryan Fitzpatrick/ Bills starter/ Round 7

Kurt Warner/ Former Cardinals starter/ Undrafted

Tony Romo/ Cowboys starter/ Undrafted

Matt Moore/ Panthers starter/ Undrafted

Jake Delhomme[Good]/ Browns starter/ Undrafted

Now all of these guys not be great, but it does show you that decent and even great quarterbacks can be found in later rounds.

unless you think hunter can come in and do well at quarterback, despite being buried in our depth chart in the past behind guys who were really not professional quality, i think we need another qb from the draft. that gives us twice as much of a chance at getting a gem everyone else overlooked. it's a gamble, but you can't get ahead without taking some risks.

    • Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.     
    • With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4. 
    • Self described anti-Bryce dude wants us to fail to take a major step forward     Yeah that lines up.
