The good news is most of our impending free agents aren’t back breakers if we lost them. The top tier of them are past their prime or near retirement. The rest can be easily replaced or they wouldn’t be too expensive to bring back.

If we draft well at OLB this year, no one on that list is a must keep outside of maybe Moton.

I am fine with the concept of developmental prospects. It's really the execution of it that is the biggest issue.

TBH, given how many roster holes we have, most of our first through third round picks should be competing for starting spots on day 1. 

If that isn't the case....then the pick was a fuging mistake.

I'm not sure that will be the case after the 1st round. The talent in this draft just isn't that deep. The 2nd round is mostly backup level players and after the 2nd round you are just hoping for any kind of contributer where you can find them. I seriously doubt they get more than 1 starter out of this draft.

Yes but we have an entire roster of 2nd and 3rd string players. 

We should expect at least 3 starters by the end of the 2025 season, IMO.

I wouldn't expect it. But if they somehow do get 3 quality starters out of this class I will call that a win.

      So, just what is it that makes a QB "elite"?

      By The Lobo · Posted

      I think what makes a qb elite is when every week you think your team has a chance to win because of your qb. No matter who they play, they always make you feel like you have a chance. I have not gotten that feeling once while watching Bryce.

      Two Athletic articles about QBs

      By d-dave · Posted

      Great point!  The quotes from O'Connell about teams failing rookie Qbs and the one about how you coach them after 3 picks and a loss were really interesting.  To me, an idiot with a keyboard, it means NFL teams need to be patience if they are going to have quality QB play. So bringing me to Bryce, is there some benefit to being patient.  I know it's not a particularly popular opinion around here, and even I am having a hard time wrapping my head around it.  Most QBs, when benched lose their confidence.  It takes a LONG time to get it back.  Bryce on the other hand was benched, and came back a different player.  I feel like that's worth a lot more than the physical talents of a guys like AR15... I think Bryce has the mental make up to be a good NFL QB.  His problem will always be his tools.  Now it's on coaching to work around that.  Bryce is more physically gifted than late years Drew Brees (low bar, I know).   While I'm content to see what happens this season, there's a small part of me that says...maybe we should see what grows?  (let me duck and hide from the well earned vitriol the Panthers have earned). Then again, I agree that some guys get it while others just don't.  I'm still hoping for the Panthers and Bryce to find success this season.  But if not, I won't be too surprised if the plug is pulled and there is a restart.
