Tampa picking Gerald McCoy was obvious, they finally get a pick they can't screw up.

Atlanta getting Weathspoon made me mad, I was hoping they would choose a DE and Sean would drop to the Saints.

New Orleans getting Patrick Robinson was a surprise to many fans,but after thinking about it..made perfect sense. When Greer and Porter went down with injury we were down to Randall Gay and Malcolm Jenkins. Jenkins is probably moving to FS with the addition Robinson

You would probably be the ONLY person to think that. Dude is a serious player.

The guy was a great college player yeah, but he's supposedly the best pass rushing DT in the draft, but Ndamakong Suh had almost as many sacks in 1 year as McCoy had in his career. McCoy is going to have some serious problems transitioning to the NFL because his technique isn't there right now. It's all lower body for him. His upper body isn't where it needs to be to be a dominant 3 technique tackle in the NFL as evidence by the fact he didn't even crack the top 12 in bench press reps at the combine.

I just think there's a pretty high bust potential for where he was drafted.

I was expecting the Taints to pick Sergio Kindle. I thought their need at LB was greater than DB.

I also agree with the hesitation about McCoy. There were LBs who lifted more than he did. If he has strength problems, he's going to be ineffective in the NFL. Good luck going up against most starting OT if you can't push a mountain. They'll just run to your side every down and over your flattened little body.

I think the CBs going down last year had something to do with it. CBs are invaluable. Dont think they want to have to pull Predator out of the stands again.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo.

      Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
