Truly curious.  Would you take him at 8 and if yes, what other players would have to be off the board to make you take him?  I have wavered back and forth on what players I would take him ahead of at 8.

I would take him at 8 for sure. Guys I would take above him are Hunter, Graham and Johnson.

I don't really believe that Carter is a "sure thing" elite EDGE and I am not sold on the OT prospects enough to take them over McMillian plus it wouldn'tmake a ton of sense for us to take a top 10 OT and then have him ride the pine. Obviously, I care nothing about the QB's.

Hunter, Johnson and Graham are good combinations of elite talents and meet an immediate need.

Brandt had him significantly slower. If he wanted to shut up people then do it at the combine and not your school who will use this process to lure other players.

Meh. I like him better than the TE people are hung up on. I'm just tired of the BS and this is all more of it. Quit hiding yourself in pro days if you don't want the skepticism to stick around.

I think he will at worst be a productive NFL receiver, but I don't think there's any chance we draft him.  At this point, if there's not a public love letter about a prospect, they probably aren't even on our board.  I think there's next to a 0% chance that we draft McMillan or Warren.

I agree. We are telegraphing our intentions pretty clearly. I also suspect we will not consider trading down.

Agreed. 

Remember when Calvin Johnson wasn't going to run the 40 at the combine, changed his mind, borrowed some shoes and ran a 4.35?

Now that is how you show people.

So essentially he would have run ~4.65 at the combine. Kind of what was expected if I recall correctly. And good for his size.

People forget that guys like Hopkins and Evans were in the 4.5-4.6 range.

Had he ran a low 4.4 or less, he probably becomes a top 4 pick lock.

I wouldn't have freaked out if he was a 4.6-4.65 guy either.

Exactly

Everyone wants speed at WR because we don't have it right now, but just because you want speed, doesn't mean EVERY prospect we look at there needs to be a burner.

You can find speed at other places in the draft or FA, but guys with T-Mac's size, hands, and catch radius just don't come around often.  Those things make him more of a unicorn than speed would, there is only one Tyreek Hill in the league, the other FAST players aren't quite like him, but there are still far more FAST players in this league than guys like T-Mac.

If you need a player like T-Mac to also have track speed, then you're never going to be happy.  There's been 2 of those guys in NFL history, Calvin and Moss, so sure, let's poo on T-Mac because he doesn't have the speed of maybe the 2 best WRs of all time.

We have Thielen for this season, but there isn't a current WR on the roster who you can pencil in as a guaranteed starter in 2026, passing on a guy like T-Mac when that's our WR room is just insane to me.

Sure, we see some potential in XL and Coker, but both are closer to being JAGs than true #1 or even #2 WRs as of right now.  T-Mac gives us a #1 for the next decade, I don't understand how people are willing to pass on that because he isn't a track star, particularly when our QB doesn't even have the type of arm to properly and fully take advantage of that type of speed anyways.

Yup. Nothing but respect on that one.

It's gonna be one of the EDGE or LB prospects they've been gushing over.  (Quoted the wrong post whoops)

Calling yourself that guy is kinda weird

People make those comments about me every time T-Mac comes up in a thread.

I'm not above being able to laugh at myself and make a joke at my own expense, if that's "weird" then so be it.

      Disturbing

      I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.

      Eric Collins Calling First NFL Game (ours)

      By KSpan · Posted

      Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.

      Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
