All I really know is I am about out on Wallace, he can stay as a backup. 
 

I miss the days of AJ Klein being being able to go elsewhere and start, but was a backup here. 

Wallace doesn’t do anything. His mic’ed up, the MF was never near the ball. He’s really bad.

Yeah, I was hoping to see significant improvement in Wallace this year. I'm pretty much always willing to give rookies a pass - especially a mid-rounder forced into a significant role put of the gate. Just show me some flashes and reason to hope there's something to build on. But when you still look like a week one rookie at the end of year two... ehhhhh... makes me wonder if there's anything there to continue to invest in. Going into year two in looking for more than flashes, I'm wanting to see some consistency and reliability and definitely by the end of year two. I just never saw it. He still looked like a rookie throughout.

It seems weird to do that but one of my favorite drafts was Star and Short. 
Morgan double dipped in FA with the guards. 
Attack that poo Dan.  
 

Realistically, a quality vet FA that is totally up to speed, like Lloyd, and a young sidekick is probably a better plan but I wouldn’t complain if we drafted two. 

I loved Star and Short probably just as much as Luke and TD. I would not mind if Morgan went full hog Molly this draft.

I'd be all for taking two LBs in this draft.

The Jets traded JJII to the Titans for Sweat.

I could see them double-dipping now with 3-4 type EDGE/backers at 2 and 16. Could we see a Reese/Styles reunion in NY? That would be an immense shift for that D with Sweat dominating the middle of the DL and those two former teammates wreaking havoc in an odd front.

I wouldn't go that far simply because I think we need to sign a decent vet too. Sign a decent vet and draft three and you're standing a pretty good chance of cutting a draft pick.

I’m on the sign Matt Milano and draft Anthony Hill Jr train. Our identity is good LB play. Make it happen.

Lots of great, athletic LBs that could easily be taken at the bottom of round one or early to mid round 2.

Anthony Hill Jr., Jake Golday, and Jacob Rodriguez all made some money today.

I was hoping Golday might fall to the 3rd for us with an average combine, but doesn't look like that's gonna happen now.

Yeah I like Golday. I think his best fit, unfortunately for us, is as a SAM in a 4-3. Kind of like a Chad Greenway.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
