The good thing about this guy is, we dont have any other speedster WRs on the roster. If he can return punts or kicks and can play well in some packages at WR, he has a good chance at making the roster. 

If you get literally anything out of a 7th round pick it is a slam dunk pick. The only 7th rounder we ever had that became a good contributor in my memory was Captain Munnerlyn. Who was also a pretty small guy but played DB.

He will make special teams for sure. He can return punts or kicks as it is right now. Blackshear just may have lost his job today.

Also Trevor Etienne is also going to be challenging blackshear as well. Blackshear will have to really tear it up in camp to make the roster considering, he is a holdover from other regimes going up against 2 different drafted players from the current regime.

Hes a 6th rounder and if he can return kicks better then our existing option then hell yeah he is making the team and lets go from there.  Seems like he has jets, not sure of his route running ability

XL had good hands in college, I think he figures it out this season

Yeah I can’t figure that one out. I didn’t like XL as a prospect but his hands weren’t a concern for me. It was his route running that he greatly improved. Then somehow his hands went to sh!t. I think having TMac come in and take pressure off of XL to be “the guy” is going to be really good for XL

I think it was not too bad at the beginning and then it got in his head when everyone started pointing it out.  It definitely got worse by the second half of the season

You guys can pull the crazy take on my statements. Ill try to word it better, but Im the worst at that..

 

Remember waaaay back to a fresh trying to prove himself steve smith was drafted. I swear the body type and movement, I see young steve "trying to get on the field" smith. Not saying he will be a HOFer, just he reminds me of green smith.  

fire away..

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
