If Tyler's there at 8, sprint to the podium, take him and roll on.

Of not, go back to taking the best DE in the draft.

I'm not out on warren, i mean i wouldn't love it. I would like the selection of warren more in a trade-back scenario. And i would be very surprised if he isn't there at 8. I get this isn't a star studded draft like last year which resulted in a super talent like bowers dropping to the teens, but im not so sure that is the best selection we could make at 8. Surely, I could be wrong here. Maybe i'll feel better about it after FA, but i'm just not so sure we'll bring in these big name FAs we've been looking at or hearing rumors about. Still, I wouldn't hate the pick, just wouldn't be hyped up about it.

you should care, thats the exact point.  There is something called analytics, odds, past history etc that lay out quite clearly that taking a TE in the first much less in the goddamn top 10 is fuging moronic and pans out about 5% of the time if that

If Brock Bowers who obliterated virtually every measurable category, has won every ‘I’m the f-in man’ award at every level, and was touted correctly, as the best TE prospect EVER,  went 13th (yes I know, coming off an injury) …. For God’s sake. 

Hard pass at 8. D line BPA. Please.

actually kyle pitts was rated higher.  Which leans in even more to your point

Okay, I understand. I originally was defense only because, well, it's frikkin obvious we need it. He's literally the only offensive player I'd take first, simply because of how he could vastly improve our entire offense. That's why I've been pounding on the table for him to be our pick... I really believe this guy is going to be a generational talent at the position.

Also, look at the defensive depth in this class, particularly on the line and at LB. I think we can make this move to give Bryce that extra tool in the bag AND still improve on a defense that needs to get younger AND more aggressive.

Sure there is a lot of depth at DL in the draft but if we take warren at 8, we are almost certainly going to trade up our 2nd after a run on DL in the first and possibly another run in the second. Plus our poor late round drafting makes me worry. I mean I agree that a lot of these guys make our defense better, but I just don't know if we are competent enough to get the late round gems. Last year was a deep draft at WR both at the top and depth, we took XL with likely more talented WR's on the board. Obviously its too early to judge XL, but with what we know right now I just worry about how we navigate through drafts. 

 

But I do agree with you somewhat. I wouldn't hate the pick of warren. Just wouldn't love it. I'd have to grade it based off our entire draft rather than just loving our 1st round pick. If that makes sense.

oof

“I’ve met with the Panthers about four or five times. The relationship, it just keep continuing to grow. They really hoping that I can make it to the second round. They keep on telling me if I’m sitting at (pick) 33, they’re going to take me.”

 

I get Morgan and DC were green last year but come on man, you know better then this

 

Can we sticky both these posts??

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
