Why do you guys hate Byron Bell so much?

This cat has been holding his own for sure because Hangartner sure hadn't helped him at all. Look at his blown protection against Suh today in this highlight. It starts at 1:31-1:34

I look at these Panthers highlights, and I see Bell pass protecting with good technique. And with his size, he is a run mauling machine waiting to happen. Rivera should move him to RG once we pick up Kalil in the draft. I can guarantee with Kalil, Wharton, Kalil, Bell, and Gross on the line, no opposing d-line will want any of that.:cool:

he enjoys grabbing defensive ends facemasks to much perhaps. fwiw i think he has a promising future at rt/rg....really like what he's shown so far, but with all the penalties he's accumulated i can see why people are down on him...i agree though, kalil/wharton/kalil/bell/gross would be a SICK line....

I don't hate him. He's great depth and he has certainly earned a roster spot.

I'm just not ready to pass on Matt Kalil because of him.

move him to rg, gross to rt and kalil at lt....problem solved. you upgrade lt, rg and rt all at once....

I never said I disagreed with that. It just seems like some people think OT isn't a need because Bell is playing decent football(still has a LOT to work on, but he's certainly not terrible).

I think OT is a need based on Gross' play at LT. The people who think OT isn't a need are just turning a blind eye to the play of our "franchise" LT. He's been dreadful this year...

We're not picking 2nd overall, which is where we'd have to be picking to get Kalil. I'd rather have Justin Blackmon anyway. Pro Bowl OT's are a lot easier to find than elite WR's.

Dude, do you even think out your thoughts before you post? Or our we just supposed to accept your opinion as fact?

We very well could be picking 2nd, and you have no idea where Kalil is going to go in the draft, even if he comes out. (He is a Junior)

There are literally dozens of quality WRs out there. But there are only a handfull of elite LTs. Why do you think most pass rushers play on the right side? Because most teams do not have an elite LT, and it is the QBs blind side. Maybe that is why quality Tackles go so high in the draft? Whereas WRs are rarely taken at the top of the draft. Unless you are the Lions. (And I am a lifetime Lions fan. But man, did that Millen character screw us.)

Com' on man.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
