Draft coverage was TERRIBLE

If you are watching the draft for suspense, or any entertainment value at all, then then you are a nearly paralyzed football addict in offseason withdrawals.

I tried to ween myself off the stuff cold turkey, but it was too much. Baseball is basically my Nicotine patch. It holds me over until the season and keeps me from going into sports DTs.

Ummm Last night was very entertaining and thrilling... and the Panthers did not even draft. I wouldn't call it withdrawal, because the NFL Draft has always been an exciting event to watch.... For me at-least.

Look you assholes, when you show the player on the phone it ruins the suspense of the pick. Let them announce the pick and then show their reaction. Dammit that really pissed me off last night.

Exactly. And I didn't like when they would talk to Jason La Canfora to get an idea of who was most likely going to get drafted right before the pick. This was for NFLN.

The draft is fun. But I watch it like the news; very empirically. I will pour over every detail, but I wouldn't say I was on the edge of my seat (except when the Panthers pick). The rest of the time I am just interested to see where teams are building for the future, where the guys I watched in college went, and if anyone I knew from Maryland got drafted.

I wouldn't call that entertainment, interesting, not particularly entertaining or suspenseful.

Though I should say that coming from Sports Journalism I tend to look at these kinds of events with a more discerning eye, I guess it just seems like business to me.

      I think Canales goes before Young in that scenario.

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick, as opposed to bringing in a vet to start until the rookie is ready. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.

      I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing.
