Yep… if we took those offers, we’d basically be looking at Nolen or one of the outlier or low production guys (Walker, Mykel, Stewart) paired with maybe Higgins or Noel at WR. 

This McMillan+Scourton+Princely combination just seems way more sound, has far less/no flags and way greater potential.  Honestly, stepping back and looking at it, it really is one of the stronger scenarios we could’ve asked for.  WR1 and 2 potential starting OLBs.

The Denver trade we made was a very cool package that gave us a lot of flexibility. One of the more interesting mid-draft trades we’ve made and I think it really helped us out.

Cool. Sure seems like all the media talk about T-Mac slipping leading up to the draft was just flat out misguided and we drafted the guy that the actual NFL talent evaluators had as the clear WR1. Good.

I couldn't understand some of the other guys getting hyped up.

It was probably orchestrated by some of these teams in the hopes he would slip down to them

Yeah like the Rams never tried to trade for Burns and the 49ers didn't trade up for Lance. Even the better teams still do big stupid things at times.

Should have taken that trade IMO. Both of those teams are desperate for rookie talent with their cap issues. This will be interesting to look back on too.

We're desperate for any talent due to our sucking issues.

      I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.

      Canes vs Canadians Gm 2 Rd 3 7pm

      I have no doubt the Canes will come out like gangbusters, huge bounce back from game one - my only concern is Freddie, if he lets in a couple of softies and Dobes stays hot we could be in trouble.
