He isnt gonna last until the 6th if his medicals check out. I doubt he would be there in the 5th. He has had some injuries in the past but a very intriguing prospect. Would there be a way to work him into a scat back type role on some formations, chud could find some scary things to do with him.

4th round or he is gone, if medical checks out. Would spell doom for Armanti, which is OK.

Punt Returns: 29, 446, 15.6 average

Exactly. It's also eerie that both of their names have 10 letters. O_O

copy and paste from the other wylie thread...

i love the guy in the 5th or so. very good and quick receiver with good hands, very good KR man, very good gunner.

the dude has it all. i like his WR skills, but i like him more for being a ST ace, which we need.

been seeing a lot of things about him this weekend, but i've liked him for a few weeks now..

ckparrot Truth: there truly are not a lot of receivers in this Draft that I would take above Devon Wylie, based purely on talent.

ckparrot Wylie isn't just some guy that caught my eye w/ good balance in Shrine practices but can't really run worth a damn. This is a real prospect.

dream scneario for me is that we somehow get another 3rd or earlier pick and use the first 2 picks on defense (preferably DT and CB), our 3rd pick on either amini silatolu or mitchell schwartz and then a 4th on chris rainey and 5th on wylie.

that to me would be a thing of beauty. then replace mare with connor barth and draft the best punter with a late pick. kicker and punter upgraded and then rainey and wylie added as ST aces (rainey as a punt blocker and kick returner, wylie as a gunner and punt returner) and STs have been massively upgraded as a whole.

then pick up a FS (or CB converted to FS) from FA and the whole team is improved.

I am on board with that.

His average yds are significantly lower than Smiths, almost half. I would be interested to know if that is because he doesn't get much yac. If he gets tackled by the first defender who comes along, then he won't be much more than a 3rd receiver. 12.8 sounds like he doesn't make many big plays. Could be one who looks great in shorts, but is average in a game.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.

      That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have.

      Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
