According to Gantt's latest mock we do. Of course it comes after a trade back, but I wouldn't be upset with it, however, in this scenario Fairley is still on the board.

I'd rather take Fairley based on need, but Jones wouldn't bother me at all.

Thoughts?

In all seriousness, if we could get the deal he suggests I would like it, though I think I'd personally go in a different direction than WR. I understand how there is DT depth though.

Gantt seems to be sold on Newton more than he thinks the Panthers are, though.

I thought it was pretty absurd until he mentioned getting Marvin Austin with the second round pick acquired in the trade. Austin, Jones, and maybe Stanzi in the 3rd would be fine with me. Then we get Jordan Cameron (TE) at the end of the third and Marcus Gilbert (RT) at the top of the fourth and we would be doing pretty good in first four rounds. Throw in a corner, linebacker and maybe another DT and I'd be more than happy with those picks.

I wouldn't hate getting JJ but I'm not a huge fan. I'd probably go Fairley or Amukamara if the draft went like that. I know he's off the board when we pick in this mock but I think if we trade down a dark horse guy that I wouldn't mind taking would be Quinn.

I'd take that Skins deal in a heartbeat (though I'd probably try to get a future 5th out of them as well).

Also, I wouldn't mind trading down again if we could get a good deal. Drop down to about the 21-25 spot, get another 2012 1st rounder and take Pouncey.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By CRA · Posted

      Ravens mixing it up with a random Mark Andrew tush push last year isn't a similar situation.  Lamar has run QB sneaks his entire career.  And often instead of a traditional sneak will even employ a 4th and 1 direct snap to Lamar simply because of how athletic he is (which even Cam did a lot of) and let him pick his own holes.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By CRA · Posted

      height being an issue doesn't just mean batted balls.  You could argue Bryce minimizes batted balls by adopting other poor habits such as his jump passing and leaving the pocket.   As I said, there are plays you can point to where he clearly was blind to parts of the field/players....which kills plays and opportunity. Which actually means some of the shorter/hot throws when things break down are where his vision gets blocked (and he had below average production all around the line of scrimmage).   has he figured it out? I mean, he improved off a trainwreck start.  But Bryce Young since arriving in the league (even while figuring it out)......doesn't generate much offensive production vs his peers.  I just think his ceiling is low.   And that's not in the grand scheme what you want in the NFL.  I think he can develop into a serviceable QB, that will largely always been a middle of the pack or low end starter.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      People make a lot of noise about his footwork and I think it is overblown. Whether he takes 3 steps backwards or 5 small steps doesn't matter as long as he ends up at the right depth and is in sync with  the receiver regarding timing. If he does that consistently who cares as long as he has a firm stable base as he delivers the ball. Which he does need to work on. However even that is somewhat overblown given that often QBs have to throw off balance or from different arm angles to fit the ball around defenders. He is considered very accurate so apparently it isn't hurting him that much.
