Bad attitude or not, it doesn't make Dillon Gabriel worth a 3rd round pick. 

Even if Sanders literally didn't exist, that pick would be atrocious.

That's wrong.

Some people are just awful.

Curious how they got his phone number...

Well when you set yourself up for this kind of attention this is what will happen.

That's true. But it's true whether Sanders is available or not, lol

Do you want the guy that can be coached or the guy who thinks he already knows more than you. It’s perfectly clear that teams hated his attitude. The self entitlement. The sheer nepotism and media circus that comes along with it.

That doesn't excuse someone being an asshole. Sanders did not make anyone in the media keep making this a spectacle(long before the draft, I mean). He may not have shied away from it but that doesn't excuse the action.

Give me Ty Robinson with the next pick.

I know there is no way in hell the Panthers would take him and all the circus it would create here but Sanders is becoming an asset worth taking if only to develop as the backup and trade later.  He is too talented to be here in the 4th round.

He's gonna be there in the 7th round Howard and Ewers coming off next

Yes but you are literally making my point for me. Tank Dell has missed 11 of 25 career games with injuries. Not minor injuries either. Concussion, broken leg and now a blown out knee. 

It's not that Johnson isn't a good football player. Not at all. It's that he might rarely see the field for you.

Now, all that being said, he IS the type of player that makes sense in the 5th round or lower.

I was responding to the small size without straight line speed comment. Being smaller definitely makes you more prone to injuries when you're getting volume catches. He probably wouldn't be that in Carolina. But to be honest, I'd take Tank Dell's 7 games a season over anything our 4th/5th receivers bring to the table over 16 games a season.

If you don't think he's a starter for you, that means he's a backup. So then, you have to decide what his potential ceiling is, and then evaluate how well you think he'd do as a backup. Unfortunately, he doesn't come off as a backup and I think the sad reality is his father's media circus turns people off from that. 

Exactly. Sanders is like Cam in his final years as a FA.

Not good enough to start but too cocky and distracting to be a backup.

There is just no upside to him on a team with an established starter.

Finishing the draft without having given away multiple future picks is a different, interesting approach this year. I heard we moved up a few spots and instantly assumed (based on this organizations history) that we gave up three 1st’s and two 2nd’s to move up four spots in the third. That’s usually how this team does business on draft day.

Yeah, as long as you don't get roped up in a Horn sized contract at the end of that.

Availability is an ability, as the saying goes.

The issue is teams are clearly sending a message they don't believe he can be a good backup. I guess we'll see if that holds as his talent far out paces the rest of the draft board.
