I guess you meant plummeted. If that's what you meant then say so but your opinion is still tainted cuz you don't know squat.

Glad you think so...

But like I was saying this draft wasn't all that great!!! I mean it started off great, but from there plumited until the 6 round. Not saying Short is a bad player, just saying he is a bad pick.

He can be a versatile guy and is more explosive than joe adams.

Did no one watch him play at Oregon?!

Deangelo is gone next season so here is some potential depth n STs help.

After this draft I am really starting to believe that most people on here do not watch college football. They just read a scout page and want to argue about a kids college career.

Does it matter if we still have an OLine on skates, and a secondary that doesn't let the defense get off the field?

That's how needs work.

Hell yeah man lets fix that "hole" in the secondary with another late round scrub. Camon man. The Barner pick is Greg Hardy esq.

People can complain about this pick if they want, but this outside of Star is my favorite pick of the draft. Barner is going to be a beast in some capacity.

Barner is the quick dude that we want Dwill to be in terms of out of shotgun, read option. Both Stewart and Barner have alot experience with it and this is a better One-Two punch.

I love Dwill, but in terms of read option, Barner is superior. Not nearly as complete thought. Dwill is still a great back out of the I-formation.

Bottom line man, this is probably my second favorite pick behind star as well.

I just watched some youtube videos on him, I didn't know anything about him before we took him but I must say he might have been a brilliant investment for the future. He's tiny, but he seems great at following blockers, finding holes, navigating the middle and staying low (of course). Could very well be our Sproles, I don't think it's a stretch to think that could happen sooner rather than later. Also seems to have big hands for a guy his size.

Agree. He is the compliment to Stewart that we want Dwill to be in terms of read option plays.

Really you love the 5'8" 160 pound WR/RB who was infinitely better at CB than RB? That guy??

He would be a Harvin type weapon in the NFL. He'll make his living outta the slot not the backfield. Hes a playmaker. Would be a good pick on day 2 if he declares.

He'll go in the first on hype, and be a colossal disappointment....

jesus you guys are fuging idiots. you really thinking we were gonna get starters in the 5th and 6th rounds? this dude is electrifying and adds just another weapon, i'm fine with taking a guy like this late especially since deangelo won't be around much longer. i was just disappointed we never addressed the secondary

He can be our Darren Sproles, no doubt. Once D-Will leaves (after this year I bet) I definitely think this guy can be our scat-back change of pace guy behind Stew for years to come. Doubt he gets a lot of touches next year (could spend some time on the practice squad) but I really like his potential and what we could do with him.

I love this kid as a playmaker for this team and think he could be very valuable when he sees the field and can get a significant amount of touches. That said, I wasn't and am currently not a huge fan of the pick just because of the personnel we already have on our roster but I do recognize that DeAngelo's time here in Charlotte is likely numbered and Kenjon is an excellent change of pace back that can be a receiving threat. If he becomes anything close to a Sproles-type player for this team it was well-worth a 6th and will really help out this team.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
