31 other teams had a chance at this supposed "franchise QB" (some had 2 or more shots), some with much worse QB situations than us, and passed. Clausen was bailed out all year long by Tate taking the ball away from defenders, through double teams and turning dump offs into huge gains. All of this against that weak ass schedule ND plays. Way too many holes on this team to use our first pick on a guy that apparently has some serious enough issues to free fall from his media hyped top 10 spot to the middle of the 2nd round.

I'm shocked. This is a good draft so far. Sometimes you have to take chances in the draft. Armanti in the 3rd is a reach, (he was projected 4-5th round pick) However he has the speed and ability to be a good-great WR and KR/PR.

Lafell has some of the biggest upside of any wr in the draft. Good pick in the 3rd there.

Clausen is the biggest steal of the draft by far. He's a legit top 5-10 draft pick and some say he's a top 10 NFL QB. He was drafted with the 48th overall pick that's about a +40 on rating vs actual spot picked.

Forget who was picked If you were told a week ago that the panthers would snag the 2nd rated QB in the draft with the 48th pick, a top 5-7 rated wr in the 3rd and a KR/PR with 4-3/4-4 speed that played WR. You'd have been ecstatic.

He was passed on because of his attitude, not his skill.

And his attitude isn't a huge problem.

I agree. good draft so far.

I don't recall saying what the issues were, but apparently teams desperate for a QB thought the attitude was a big enough problem to pass on him, twice.

Right, if only we could draft with so much success as the braintrust in buffalo, oakland, and cleveland who have been very successful in the last 20 years. Oakland picked Jamarcus Russell first two years ago so that means they have an incredible eye for QB talent, right?

      Pittman + 7th for XL and a 5th?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      McConkey is such a better player than XL that it isn't out of the question that he'd have improved us by 1 win last year, which would have dropped us to 10th or 11th in the draft.  If we fell to 11th behind SF, they probably take him as they were heavily rumored to want him.  2 more wins and we fall to 11th or 12th, if we are 12th behind both the 49ers and Cowboys, then he's 100% taken by one of them. Also, drafting McConkey wouldn't have stopped us from getting Coker as an UDFA. So even if he was on the board when we were on the clock, I'm not sure we're taking him over a defensive player given how bad the defense was last year.  Part of why he was always the pick for me was that we had no legitimate long term WR option at the time, having McConkey changes that and makes going defense much more feasible.

      I've said many times that if I had known in high school that long snapper was an NFL position I would have practiced that every day and did all could to get that contract. Sure the money is not starting QB level, but it is life changing and if you manage it right you and your kids will be set for life. Not to mention you have access to the highest level of medical staff. Plus, by rule, they can't hit you.
