Yeah I remember hearing that about him. Just wished change that way we draft. Stop taking raw projects (Trevin, XL) instead take proven players 

Yeah, I still think Morgan is basically Fitterer in the draft and closer to a real GM with pro personnel evals. 

I mean, last year's draft was so insanely bad.

theres really no other way to spin it

From leading up to the actual draft (telling XL that he is the pick) to brooks, to Wallace its just hard to see much light in their strategy. Hopefully Morgan has learned but I kindof doubt it.

This is a bad draft to fug up. The pool of players with first round talent is very small. It's a draft loaded with 2nd and 3rd round grade guys. 

Not a ton of room for error.

I have heard of Player/coaches before.  Player/GM?

I think this is a need area, but with the DL play last season, it is hard to gauge.  Wallace is decent to good, Jewell is old and was never elite.  I like Stutsman (??) from Oklahoma.  He is third round on the sites I reference. 

I met Shaq when he was a rookie and he was small--not thick.  I think his body has to be telling him it is time to leave.  He won't be worth the money he will want to return, I assume.

It's been said - Jewell & Wallace are our ILBs  

Long shot Shaq returns on a cheap deal to backup (or maybe start?..but I doubt it with him being a long timer/Evero never being the guy to pick him). See us signing a new FA or drafting another one in the mid rounds for depth.  

And unless we offload, Clowney & Wonnum are the OLBs (and hopefully Pearce/Green/etc via R1). DJJ will still be dicking around as well.

If we sit at 8 and take a Safety like I keep seeing on the mock simulators and then don't pick again til 57 it'll be a rough one. I know they can't force anyone to trade up but it'd be nice to pick up an extra 2nd to move back a little and try to fill a few holes on defense. We need guys everywhere on D but I'd much rather double up on D-line guys mid 1st-mid 2nd than grab a S or CB at 8

Sucks that the positions we drafted last year early on (RB and LB) are still areas of need. 
 

What about WR? People keep saying we need to get Bryce McMillan because the Legett pick is starting to look like another bust. I'm willing to give him another year but don't sell Morgan short. His first draft sucked even more than your post suggests.

I totally agree. Meant to put WR as well but forgot. Dan Morgan’s 2024 draft is arguably the worst of any team in the NFL. It’s very frustrating seeing players who would’ve been perfect for us perform for other teams while we consistently pick duds that none of us wanted pre draft.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      Round 7: The Carolina Panthers select LB Jackson Kuwatch (Miami of Ohio)

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
