Draft Buzz: Tebow to Panthers?


Rod Butsecks

Recommended Posts

(By Charles Chandler, [email protected]) Jacksonville is barely hanging on as a viable NFL franchise. Ticket sales have been way down and something's got to change or that team is moving.p/As the Jaguars sit at No. 10 in the first round, there's likely a tension between picking a top player who ideally fits a need or drafting a more marketable commodity who's just as good of a player but duplicates an area of strength.

If we still had our first, I could handle The Golden Calf of Bristol in the 2nd. With needs at WR and DT...along with the solid players that should be avail at those positions in the 2nd....I just don't see us taking The Golden Calf of Bristol happening.

wonder how many newspapers are runnign this story in connection to their team today, to get hits/readers? Which is why The Golden Calf of Bristol may get drafted higher than some think: News buzz, Jersey sales, national media attention...Jax is probably hoping he drops to 2nd round pick.

The Golden Calf of Bristol's father, Bob The Golden Calf of Bristol, claims his son is going in the first 15 picks. And The Golden Calf of Bristol's agent, Jimmy Sexton, told ESPN.com that he has a very good idea where The Golden Calf of Bristol will be drafted, and hints that it's higher than most people think.

    • You're assuming just as well.   Morgan and Canales were hired 3 days apart.  I believe it was partially due to their connections in Seattle.  i believe Tepper wanted some familiarity with his GM and HC.  It is so easy to sit back and arm-chair QB over draft picks.  You don't know what the philosophy was going into the 2024 draft.  I believe Canales and Morgan were drafting for the future.  XL and Brooks point to that philosophy. Name me one GM that is 100% on draft picks.  Just one.  You're not going to find one.    I think year one picks weren't for what can you do for me now but Potential.   XL hasn't lived up to the hype of a 1st rounder.  I think we all can agree on that. However, there still is hope he comes around.  What I believe they saw in him was his speed after the catch.  He needs to get more consistent but when he gets the ball you kind of hold your breath just a second because if he gets free, he's gone.  The Brooks pick was a signing for the future, and no one could have guessed he would re-injure the same ACL.  This makes the pick look bad but Dallas was ready to draft him later that same round.  IMO we'll have to see what happens next season before we can call this a bust. Wallace has improved each season and for a third rounder has done well.  Sanders has shown flashes and considering the pick in the 4th round it wasn't a bad pick.  His sophomore season IMO was a little bit more productive.  Smith-Wade has been a good addition and has played well.  For a 5th round pick to get as much playing time as he has.  Most picks below round 3 should take a couple of years to get up to speed.  He's been a decent player.  Crumedy, no comment We turned Barrett into Jackson.  This was an amazing move and basically got a starting CB for a 7th round pick.  Pretty shrewd if you ask me. Coker, maybe the best Free Agent signing of the 2024 draft class. So, in short, you can't say that the draft was a bust.  It isn't a home run but all but one are still on the team and outside of Brooks have made contributions to wins.  2025 draft class has been much better with almost every pick making contributions this season.  Now take Fitterer's two years and compare them to Morgan and tell me that they have the same philosophy. 
    • He hasn’t led crap, he’s on loaded teams and a piece of the puzzle. And he’s he has improved drastically but it took the ultimate QB whispers in Shanahan and KOC. You put him on this Panther team and he’s back to normal Darnold 
    • Slavin and Jarvis week to week. Florida cheap shots took out our two best players.  I’d start KK so he can beat the brakes off someone.
