Love it, especially if we get garay and a FS in FA

Its probably a super reach...but my dream scenario would be something on the lines of this draft with Garay (DT) & Reggie Nelson (FS) as our big acquisitions in the free agency.

I'd love the draft IF we do land a DT in FA.

I just want RW on the Panthers.

Yeah, like I said it was made pretty much under that idea of a DT to compliment Edwards in the FA

I was basically trying to see what moves we could make if we don't go DT in the first (plus I think Jenkins is tha' tits). I don't think it'd be worth it to take anyone past Brockers/Cox/Worthy if none are there in the 2nd (of course not Brockers). The quality just isn't there in my view and I'd rather go OLB, OT, or DE.

Brockers & Jenkins are the two it came down to for me, while there's also guys like Cox, Kirkpatrick, and Ingram floating around to consider. I'm over Still and don't really think Upshaw fits us well.

You look to the FA and there's an even greater limit on CBs (maybe Middleton or Carr) than DTs. I think Garay should be the FA priority if Rivera really likes the guy for our system. The FS market is friendly this year.

Definitely would add several contributors to the team with this draft. I agree that we could trade down and still get Jenkins (assuming his combine doesn't drastically change things). I think it's easier to get a contributor at DB than DL, especially out of this draft.

Is Curry a tweener?

No DT's? Not even one? I don't know about this.. Other than that the other picks are fine with me. I think we could use a safety in the draft too.

problem with DT in the draft is your looking at another year similar to McClain and Fua.. if you want an effective DT, it's FA or nothing..

Curry I believe has played as a LB but in the NFL he'd be strictly a DE. he's something like 6'4 265 so he'll be able to bulk up a bit and also can drop back into coverage to cover the middle of the field on some of our crazy blitz schemes. (correct me if I'm wrong I'm at work on the pad)

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
