TMac ran a 4.48 at his pro day.  He won’t last long

Funchess ran a 4.5 at his pro day after running a 4.7 at the combine.

A 4.48 is probably a 4.6x at the combine.  If he could actually run a combine 4.48, there is no way he would have skipped it.

The more I ponder it, the more I think we go with Malaki Starks from Ga. He's a solid FS, who played 671 snaps last year in coverage (400 as FS and 271 at nickel). He's also 1 of the only round 1 talents we've formally visited with, Shemar Stewart and Jalon Walker being the other 2. We don't have a FS on the roster other than last year's UDFA. I think that there will be plenty of edges still there at 57.

Of course, that S from South Carolina is a beast as well, and we like to draft Gamecocks first overall of late.

2 totally different players and you don’t get to assume 40 times at the combine.  Live in reality dog

What? I’m living in reality. It’s been shown so many times that pro day numbers magically bring down bad combine results. I didn’t call him Funchess, just using him as an example where he magically got faster at his pro day. It happens all the time in the real world. Sorry man, McMillan isn’t a 4.48 combine guy. If we take him at 8, his speed is in question. One of his weaknesses is top end speed and getting separation deep. That doesn’t equate to 4.48 combine speed so his pro day speed should be viewed with skepticism.

I don’t want to be a downer but when we were like 1 loss away from jumping to the top pick, the draft was looking fun and maybe getting us some picks in a trade down. If we take a safety at 8, ugh, what a punch to the gut that’ll be.

Seeing these new contracts for edges, WR’s and corners you’d be smart to draft one of those for sure but holy f*ck is it ever stupid to take a developmental player in the top 10. 

So he takes 2-3 years to develop and you lose a lot value in taking a guy that plays one of those positions 

Develop him and benefit from 1-2 cheap years before having to back up the brinks truck

Almost like picking the first RB coming off a severe injury in a weak class and realizing we won’t even know what we have until we have 2 cheap years left.

If there was no combine bryce would still be 6'1 right now.

I kinda agree, but it's looking (to me) like BPA at #8 might be a FS or a TE. Both make my stomach hurt at #8.

 

Edit: Anyone not named Graham or Carter is probably a reach for us at 8.

      Malik Willis anyone

      I must apologize, my sarcasm at times doesnt translate well in text form lol. At this point I would welcome us signing him, Trey Lance, trading for Jameis Winston, asking about Deshaun Watson and playing phone tag with Tom Brady before I ever fully entertain a season of Bryce Young being the defacto Starting Quarterback of the Panthers.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By beckersteen · Posted

      We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
