Gonna be interesting how he handles the Clowney and possibly Wonnum contracts--cutting them would be $14m in cap room--not sure I would do it, but we signed Jones and you want your rookies to play to get experience....

 

Scourton can start right away. Princely might need some time to add weight and muscle to be a full time starter but I think he can definitely be a pass rush specialist his first year. So that does give them some leeway with the current vets.

Most of the moves I’ve seen have been average GM moves.

With that said, it takes 3 years to really know the results of a draft…

…and we need multiple drafts to fix this team.

I want to give Dan and Dave at least 3 more years.

Not taking the bag off my avatar’s head until we see a winning season.

I think we really got better on defense in free agency.  Did we get better in the draft?  Long term, probably. Short term?  Maybe not much.  Clowney and Wonnum are probably going to be able to hold off rookies at positions that tend to take time.  So we really have not improved the defense in the draft that much.  I would cut Clowney and start Jones and Wonnum--saving $7m in cap room.  I think Princely will be a pass-rushing specialist for his rookie season, and I see Nic Scourtan as a key rotational player who will start at some point.

Look for Scourton to start and Clowney if he's still here to rotate like he did in Baltimore

We are definitely trending in a better direction than we had been and this draft feels like a breath of fresh air compared to what we've had. Still need to finish up strong here though. But for now I am pleased with Dan and Dave. As another noted Tilis also seems to be a helpful addition.

Very pleased. Nothing cute. High floor guys who are football players. You can see that these are kind of moves from someone who understands football in the NFL. 

Not everyone likes the picks, but this team is headed in the right direction. It’s been a LONG time since we have seen that.

Cutting them would be retarded.

Agree, I've been impressed with Morgan thus far in his stint as GM.  Last year, overhaul O-line, fix the middle of the line and started getting pieces to go around Bryce.  I like last years draft a lot honestly.  XL has shown potential, JT Sanders looked good as a rookie TE, Trev Wallace looked decent and Chau Smith Wade looked like a great value pick as well as snagging Jalen Coker UDFA.

This year, I think he was playin games, might have even been sneaking some of the Tet sandbagging talk, then boosting Jalon walker, I think he wanted Tet to fall and I think he kinda knew that the the difference between "top" edge rushers and guys we got was FAR smaller than the difference between Tet to 2nd round recievers.  He took Value, then doubled up on a strength of the draft WHERE the strength was highest, edge on day 2.  Very well navigated on his part IMO.

      Xavier Legette is the face of the NFL at the Kentucky Derby

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.
