Yeah, it's weird all of the love Tyler Warren is getting. Dude is nowhere near as talented as Bowers, Pitts, or Hockenson were in college. Nothing on his tapes screams "wow". He is a late 1st round talent at best and we would be stupid to draft him at 8

Edit: Not to mention this draft class is deep at TE. Honestly, I don't see much separating Warren from Loveland

There's not much of a separation between the two, true, but both are solidly first rounders.  In the second round we would be looking at TE3 at best and even that's a stretch since we are picking 25th with the Rams original draft spot.  TE4 is Fannin Jr. and his game is very similar to a guy we already have in Sanders.  Yes, Fannin Jr.'s numbers were insane, but he ran up the numbers playing some really, REALLY bad teams in the MAC as Bowling Green's #1 receiving target.  Needless to say, he wouldn't have gotten those type of numbers playing in the SEC or Big 10 and NFL defenders are better than guys he played in the MAC.

For a fan base who absolutely adores and respected Greg fn Olsen there's a ton of people on here who devalue or don't understand what an immediate impact on an offense schematically having a true #1 TE does for you. Cam wouldn't have even been close to player he was without Olsen that's a fact.

BY needs an Olsen to grow, that's simple math for you southerners to grasp lolol

That's what you want out of a top 10 pick immediate impact and Warren/Loveland would do that.....stop being short sighted and understand our TE spot is as horrible in the NFL as it gets.

Bolded part is the only thing I'd take issue with.  I have not been impressed with Allar as an NFL prospect.

I watched a fair amount of Penn St games last year, and my thoughts were Warren is mostly feasting on easy stuff that's not going to work regularly in the NFL.  He is a good football player, but I don't see generational ability.

He has the arm strength you want and they rarely let him use it.  Generational talent, agree, haven't really seen it.

Bryce needs much better slot/middle of the field and backfield receivers.  That's basically his game. 

I still say XL was picked back when 99% thought we were moving on from Bryce Young in short order.  XL fits what Canales did in Seattle and Tampa.   Still need that role in any offense but all the bread and butter Bryce throws need upgrades.

There's like 8 players in this draft that have consensus first round grades. "Normally you have about 14-16 players with first round grades.  

 

Depending on the team this could change but consensus is the following. 

Ward, Hunter, Carter, Campbell, Jeanty, Graham, Walker, Membou

Lot of teams have Loveland rated higher than Warren. I'd not be surprised if Warren fell draft night.

Our offense devalues the TE, so why take one early when he isn't going to be used as a weapon?

if Bryce Young is going to be your QB......the O simply has to cater to what he does well and doesn't.

What Canales did in Tampa and Seattle isn't Bryce Young.   It was home run football downfield.

We are not drafting a tight end in the top 10 over all our other needs. They just took one they were high on last year and they are gonna develop that guy along with the receivers.

our biggest need is still developing and answering the QB question.

I mean I love Allar as a prospect, he is the old school big strong pocket qb.  That said he needs to take a big leap this year

Bryce is going to have to learn to run Canales offense or be shown the door.

It took olsen 2 teams and 6 years to figure it out.  Thats just the normal curve it seems for te in the nfl

      I believe in bryce...

      By MHS831 · Posted

      If you are an athlete or former athlete (myself?  Cornhole 2021-present; Disc Golf 2013-got a mega blister and had to retire; speed walking--every black Friday at Walmart 2003-2009) you know what it is to lose confidence.  Self-inflicted or not (in my view, a lot of 2023 was coaching and a lot of 2024 was confidence), he has confidence now. How fragile is it?  I think the light is on, the game slowed down, and he is ready to do his thing.  He seems to be "mobile in the pocket" instead of "running scared."   Last year, there were times when AT was out, Johnson gone, and all he really had was XL and Coker--a raw rookie with upside and an UDFA rookie.  TE was rarely a viable option. It reminded me of Benjamin and Funchess.   Moore had to step up.  This season, Bryce has weapons.  I expect XL to improve.  I expect TMac to help tremendously, and I think Coker will be solid.  Renfrow?  Horn?  bonuses.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.
