Why would we need to spend a draft pick on another receiver???? Particularly one with issues????

Seriously???? What is the likelihood that he would even make the team.

From a talent standpoint....he would easily earn a roster spot if his head is on right.

The greatest panther of all time has issues.

Passing league and our talent is still heavily slanted towards the backfield. That should change soon. We need more reciever talent. We might not technically need it today but the bodies need to be coming on board

rolls eyes, CRA, you cant lump and generalize scenerios like that. Getting busted smoking and being a habitual "line stepper" say different things about this guy. Im not gonna make it a disccusion, you have your opinion, just sayin that there is more to psyche than just "that was wrong, he is a troublemaker".

That being said, this dude does fit the offense. I think any receiver who can stretch the field vertically is a potential candidate. I dont like him though, he seems like he feels very entitled. Like people owe him something. One of the best nicknames you can have though.

nothing earlier than the 6th...7th would be ideal tho.

if he can provide solid competition, why not? anyone he beats out for a roster spot and PT deserves to be beaten out.

the more we throw on the field to try out, the more likely we are to find a stud WR corps, or at least a respectable and reliable one and with cam spreading the ball around the way he does combined with his always present running threat we should be able to have defenders spread out quite thinly.

sure, we should probably at some point try to draft a WR early again, but until then this may be a good option.

still think we should be concentrating on upgrading the defense first, but if we can upgrade any part of the team cheaply we absolutely should.(figured i'd add in this little qualifier...as long as he isn't north of 30 and/or a complete putz)

Well, you are picking and choosing as well. Smitty, the current GOAT, has been a habitual line stepper as well. He might not step the line with substances but his issues are arguably bigger issues for a team to deal with.

I don't have issue w/ having a couple high maintenance guys. All about having the leadership surrounding them to deal with it.

But you can't get this kid w/ a 6th or 7th...

He has more potential than arguable anyone on our roster coming out of college IMO.

I don't care who we get....we just need to be looking at adding WR talent. Soon. Soon we are going to have worry about every WR spot. Smitty is still strong but that can change quick as he ages....overnight or even over the course of a season. We are still worried about finding a true 2 and slot WR when we should have that handled and be worried about grooming a new #1

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
