Hypothetical: If We Don't Draft Tavon Austin or C. Patterson...

And Austin ends up exceeding projections and becomes the next Steve Smith and Patterson becomes the next Hakeem Nicks/Dez Bryant or player of similar size/ability, but we draft a GOOD to GREAT DT like Star, how would you feel about it? If Star of Richardson is the pick and they are a solid starter for the next 10-15 years, possibly even perennial Pro Bowlers comparing the impact each would have on their respective units, how would you feel?

Would you be satisfied with the pick? In 5 years? In 10 years?

If we got Star I would be fine with that. I know if we don't find the replacement for Smitty this year that there will be twice as many guys in free agency next year including many receivers. Finding your run stuffing DT for the next decade can't be a bad thing. Plus it gives all our receivers enough touches to truly determine their potential here.

If we are smart, and I suspect we are, we are still going to get a great athlete. Star has seen a poo ton of support to us at 14. Why is it so difficult to believe he could actually make an immediate impact? The kid can play. Chances are he is going to contribute. Besides him, there are plenty of guys worthy of our pick. Which just makes it that much more interesting.

I have two reasons for wanting Star before we go skill positions. He is built for this. Great lower body with great base and power. Strong upper body with great strength and heavy hands. He is a monster. And he makes us a whole lot better. And we have a Defensive coach. I bet Rivera has plans for him already. Running schemes through his mind. Dreaming up the next big thing. .....................Star and Dwan. With Cole and Kearse for rotation. I'll take it.

This was what I was thinking when creating the thread... That's the thing... We're kind of weighing a future replacement for Smitty versus a sold-great DT for 10+ years.

I would love to get a guy that acts as Smitty's successor and we don't miss a beat when he retires, but I'm not going to lie... I wouldn't be mad and may even have wet dreams when envisioning Keek running free behind a guy like Star for years to come. Tough call.

Thing is that as long as Star is healthy there is little doubt of his ability. But who is a can't miss receiver in this draft. So we want a guy who would be top 2 DT in most drafts or a receiver that last year for example might be the 4th or 5th best receiver in the draft.

    • Yes message boards will always include that sort of stuff… However, this place has been a cess pool since the team took Bryce Young over CJ Stroud. It becomes a problem when it is accepted and promoted, which it has been here (even by at least one mod). Many posters sole purpose on this board is to try to dunk on others for having different opinions. We just had one write a novella on how talking about Bryce Young’s game winning drives “needs to stop”…after a win. They don’t want real conversation. It “needs to stop”. There are many posters here who literally only show up after losses to dead thread and try to dunk on others about the QB (MRenshaw is an easy example). I really don’t see much of that happening the other way around. There’s too many people that would rather the team be bad so they can feel justified for constant doom and gloom and negative opinions. It’s been pointed out by many over the past couple years. This just isn’t a place to have football discussions anymore because of the constant hyperbole. If you don’t subscribe to “Bryce Young is the worst QB ever who can’t throw the ball further than 5 yards and is the reason why we lose any game we lose and doesn’t help in any game we win”, then you are labeled a Bryce Young Stan. 
    • if you believe he is watching every NFL game.....every week.....go right ahead.  I get it, he said something you like.  But that's like believing the talking heads on the ESPN shows are watching all the games.  You think Stephen A is watching the Panthers every Sunday too?  If Stephen A needs to go on First Take he certainly can pretend like he has watched every snap any player on the roster has taken lol.   No one is that isn't a Panther fan has been watching the 9-25 career go down every Sunday.  Or even a lot of Sunday's.  You know who knows more about Bryce Young than Long? The collective huddle.  What they are reviewing is stat sheets, highlights and in summaries.  It's an old formula lol.
