I simply answered you initial statement that he didn’t do anything his first 4 years.

when he made 1st team all pro in his first year (which all-pro isn’t some fan boy Gimik) Over guys like Gates etc.

So yes

He did do something his first 4 seasons.

if you can get a 1st team all-pro rookie year with your top 10 pick.  I’d say it was worth it.

And the next 3 years?

Still made the pro bowl 2 out of the next 3

Back in the early 2000’s when the probowl meant something and where you didn’t end up on the ninth choice after opt outs.

Apples and Oranges.

like comparing AB and Calvin Johnson.  Same position, different playing g styles and how their used 

Bowers is 6’3 235ish and used primarily if not just strictly as a pass catcher moved out from the slot

 

Warren is 6’6 260 more physical not finesse.  Who can be used as a blocker, but also moved out as a pass catcher.  
 

those Bowers highlights are good.  But for every big deep pass play you say Warren couldn’t do like that.  I can pull up Warren moving guys out of the way and pancaking guys in the run game while also making big contesting catches in the same game.  Something Bowes isn’t doing.

His size is what made him stand out for sure. He uses it well. I just don't see an AB or CJ, I see a big guy moving little college players...which look like DBs but then again at that level the LBers look small too half the time.

He looks solid. I don't think the size and losing comparable speed is going to look the same as often in the NFL.

Just telling the truth. Doesn't mean he's the pick 

Fo sure.  

Where I'm kind of leaning w/our first:

With this high of a pick, stepping back, big picture, you want a guy that can straight up elevate their side of the ball and change the way the opposition needs to play us. That's the bottom line for me.  It's what we wanted with Bryce of course, Brown, Horn, etc. when drafting this high.  Icky had the question marks in pass blocking but we had a 5+ year running need when we landed him.  

The defenders people are considering can be really nice, sure, potentially all-pro pieces (Walker, Johnson, Pearce, etc.) but are we getting a guy that a defense needs to immediately account for on every snap? Or are you banking on some potential actualizing? Is there any lack of sure-thing with translating to the NFL, or additional refinement needed?  When you're banking on those factors high in the draft, that's where the busts can come from IMO.  I.E. Johnson has press-man coverage questions (Surtain/Horn did not have those concerns), Walker with his size/down-to-down role, and Pearce needing some run-d technical refinement.     

But with Warren, you drop him in, I think the offense entirely changes.  And the way people need to play us entirely changes as well.  And I don't see anything technically that needs more hands-on coaching required.  

It's appealing.  Not entirely there yet, but if a team is sold on him, I'm seeing the why.

    • So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.   
    • My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
