What the hiring of our new OC could mean for AE? I'd love to see this kid bloom into a play-maker but our offense needs to have some creativity incorporated. What kind of offenses did he help put together in San Diego? Hopefully they get a plan together for this kid, no sense in waiting around to see what we got for a high 2nd rounder.

Would think that they would use AE some at the very least. Fox was intentionally not using him to get back at the FA.

The key with Armanti is figuring out what he does well right NOW and allowing him to work on the other stuff while using what he's already got to help us out right now.

I expect he'll be a trick play guy at first, maybe a deep threat to try and get a big play just running deep routes, then as he develops probably work him into the slot more.

We'll see... AE is a Marty pick, and a risky one at that. There were people talking about how AE isn't a lock for the roster, but if Marty has any say (which he does) then AE has a spot on this team and you can bet it will be a mandate to get him progressed in his development and involved on our team's plan. It was admitted that he's a project player, and hopefully this project pays off dividends. Am I upset we spent this year's second on him? Yes and no. Yes because poo, that's a high pick...but also no because any pick is a gamble to contribute, especially with our second round pick history. It's no worse than picking shelton or clausen or jarrett, all of which had great potential...AE has the athletic ability and determination to be a contributor, but we'll see. Jarrett and Shelton really didn't set us back much of anything at all, no 2nd rounder ever will. So here's to hoping that a project receiver with a bunch of upside does better than what he did his rookie year...clausen too. Granted neither showed us any glimpses of greatness, bit there's more than what we see that paints the bigger picture.

He wouldn't be the first college QB to develop into a solid NFL WR. That'll be more the WR coach's area than anything. We also have to keep in mind that he played so little with Fox that we don't KNOW how good he is right now, other than that he can't field punts.

    • It's going to take time to really evaluate new ownership. I still have some hopes that they can get us past the curse of the Jordan years. We got screwed over by the league with the lottery yet again, nothing in this draft was ever going to make people happy after that happened. 
    • The Hornets were screwed when they lost out on the #1 pick. Outside of Cooper Flagg this was a terrible draft class full of risky prospects and red flags. Kon Knueppel likely won't ever be a superstar - or even a star, realistically - but he can be a solid contributor for a long time in the league. That's actually more than I think will end up being the case for many of these players.
    • I guess we should disregard what all these places say about our draft? And just trust you guys on this board? And as far as the Mark Williams trade, most places are saying we got the much better end of that trade for what its worth to yall. Bleacher report has Kon a "B", BR has him C+, Fansided A-, NBC Sports overall draft an A-, Sports Illustrated overall A-, MSN has Kon a B+, Yahoo Sports has us at an A- overall. Here is what ESPN posted:  Post-Draft Analysis Knueppel's well-rounded perimeter game and terrific 3-point shooting ultimately won out in Charlotte's decision process, with the Hornets attracted to his fit with their current roster and his long-term potential. He should help stabilize their perimeter minutes immediately, with his dependability all season at Duke a major selling point. The Hornets were thought to be exploring moves here, but were content to simply grab their guy and move forward. This is a strong match that should pay off right away for both sides. -- Jeremy Woo
