I consider myself a FF geek and a huge panthers homer. I basically refuse to ever pick Panthers just because I don't feel I can value them fairly. This year however I can't bring myself to not draft Greg Olsen very very late as my tight end. His average draft position is 165th, he is just going way way too late for me to ignore him. Am I right or is this just the homer coming out in me?

No you're right....he's going to be VERY VERY active in Chud's offense....

Nope you are right....his avg. draft postion will increase quite a bit in the next couple of weeks. I am deftinely not a Panther homer but when the run on TE's start, I will try to get him myself.

Most places have him ranked outside the top 10 for TE's right now. One site that I really like has him at #21! He is very undervalued because his production was low in Chicago (Martz didn't use him) and people see him going to the 2-14 Panthers with Shockey as competition. Most FF people don't realize what he will mean to the Panthers but when they realize it he will shoot up the ranks to a #5-6 tight end.

Speak of the devil! I had that exact plan in my draft! I waited almost the last round to pick up my starting tight end, which was olsen.... STEAL. I was able to stack up on every other position, knowing i could get maybe the best player on my fantasy team real late. I recomend it for all of you. Plus i got Newton with my last pick ;) in case he blows up!

      Why do people think Bryce Young won this game yesterday?

      By MechaZain · Posted

      I think we have some revisionist around it here because of all the drama around Tepper's involvement. If you pull up any scouting report from the time you'll see the same take. WalterFootball's report sums up the media's thoughts on him well: "Young has everything the NFL is looking for in a quarterback except in terms of weight and height." He was the consensus top QB of his draft and the only real question mark they had about him was whether his body could hold up in the NFL. The infamous Steph Curry comparison the Panthers latched onto came from Albert Breer. The excuses I've heard for him are more anecdotal. Bryce Young's development is the only bullet point most NFL fans have on the Panthers right now. That and the coaching turnover. If you're not actually watching our games it's easy to believe this is just a dysfunctional organization that doesn't know how to unleash this talented Heisman winner.  I've seen media and fans alike run with that narrative way more than criticizing Young outright. Whenever we win there's flocks who use it as proof that the Panthers just need to be patient.

      So maybe 1-3 vs playoff teams, going by standings as of today. I guess that is an improvement.  We are just about improved enough to be in purgatory draft wise. It really isn’t so bad in the 1st unless you really want that top QB or maybe edge guy because there are usually plenty of good players at the top but it hurts you some as get deeper in the draft.
