Not sure why expectations were so high of him. 

He is talented.   He is capable.   I knew he wouldn't come in here and become a starter without injury. 

Players need development.  

I didn't expect him to be a superstar, but haven't seen the development in the second year, at all

He was a much more complete player.  That is development.

I think this next year- year 3- is an important year for him. 

Also depends on how the offense uses him.

Daniel Jeremiah's top 50 players heading into the Combine.  Lol at the people still pining for Styles.  Dude will be LONG gone before our slot as I noted he would be.  Go ahead a keep drafting him at #19 if y'all want to keep ruining/making unrealistic mock drafts.

There is not a universe that Bailey is a better prospect than Reese.  And if we are being honest Styles is probably a better football player he just doesnt rush the passer as much

Bailey is a better pure EDGE rusher.  Splitting hairs though, because they are ranked right next to one another; they could easily be flip-floppled.  Bailey is another one I thought would fly up the rankings and he has.  Remember, it was just a month ago he in range for us to pick.  That's the reason I stopped mocking him, along with Styles.

An example of what we need in bpa.But to your point if the room is full the value isnt the same.Need creates value.

Yep and that is why teams have different boards.  
 

I would refine the lower valued position limitation mentioned here to the bottom quarter or third of the first round. There are a lot of really good players at these low value positions taken from right around where we pick and later. All positions I guess. 

For us, some highlights 

Gamble @ 28

Beason @ 25

Kelvin Benjamin and DJ Moore went late too but man I’d be fine with trading aback a little and getting a Beason level player.

I'm seeing a lot of projections with the team drafting Keldric Faulk from Auburn with the 19th pick. Am I the only one not liking that pick? Everyone is saying he has potential this and that, but I'm not convinced that his numbers (2 sacks) will suddenly get unleashed on the pro level.

I don’t generally research these guys very hard anymore but I have seen some mocks where he would be long gone by 19.  I think I saw people saying he was a very stout run defender, and would likely pick up a few sacks. No big numbers.

Does he fit in a 4-3?  I dont think he does

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
