Goodbye to Barno

jalen coker and demani richardson were both at one point cut from the roster and brought back and now are contributors 

my guess is that Barno isn't healthy enough at the moment after knee clean up procedure and they needed the roster spot for training camp

That is literally what I am talking about. Those were 53 man cuts. Not at the beginning of camp. 

I would say the odds of Barno being back are extremely thin.

I miss the boat with Brano. I thought at worst he would be a ST ace. I had him as the top backup that gets 8 sacks. (in a minor defense, he was a gunner on ST a few times). 

Think like Al Wallace or Mario Addison, he just didn't have the drive or talent it seems. He's been injured for 2 years now and was "hurt" during the OTAs, mini camp......Panthers honestly kept him much longer than they should.

Maybe he will realize the NFL is not a rehab facility.

6th rounders do have less success than UDFAs.

So few of the guys pan out after the 3rd round. I really never put too many eggs in those baskets, minus some exceptions.

The NFL is really not-for-long in most cases. Hell, as I've mentioned before, even second rounders have a 49 percent chance of being on the street, according to Google AI, after four years.

I am not sure what the statistics are for 2nd rounders, much like Google "AI", as I would have to do actual research that it doesn't.

The 3.3ish years average NFL career has held fairly true, IIRC. I know there is a site that still tracks that data.

There was a very good and thorough look at success rates by round(I think it was based on games played or started) I read a few years ago and after the 3rd round the success rates dropped off precipitously. 

I will see if I can dig that up in the near future.

The toughest job draft evaluators have Is not predicting How good someone is going to be, but how long they can stay that good.

IDK. Predicting how good has been the biggest issue by a pretty wide margin.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
