...he scored higher than anyone else in this draft class in many statistics...even had higher score than A Foster when they did tests a few years back

for what it's worth, his only knock is his size but he's apparently durable as hell. i like the pick. obviously there were other postions to address, but hey, maybe the G-man has something else up his sleeve?

Arian went undrafted that year, so that's not really saying too much, because he got to where he was on pure hard work and determination. With that said, I'm liking this pick more and more. Just not totally sure because I think Tauren Poole is adequate too and would've liked to give him a chance and draft someone like Bacarri Rambo instead.

If Baccari Rambo was named David Jones would anyone give a fug about him? People throw his name around like he's a superstar. Nobody else drafted him before us. Are they all stupid too?

I agree with the name thing. I surely would have bought a jersey with his name on it. I mean who goes harder than Rambo?

As for draft and where he went, I suppose it matters to a degree but nobody will really be able to talk poo for a couple years. It'd be nice a few years from now for Ryen Russillo and Scott Van Pelt to put at least 1 Panther in their top 5 of their yearly redrafts.

I think we got a chance for maybe two. (Star and Kenjon)

Problem is....he is another talented guy at a position there already aren't enough touches for our variety of runners

Lets say we ran the ball 35 times a game.....divided by 5. 6 touches per game per runner. No RB can find a rhythm with that.

      Keep away from North Winston,  you should be fine. West Winston towards Clemmins is cool. If you're ever at the Peterscreek Walmart, the Pepsi guy is 😎.

      Does Bryce deserve credit for game-winning drives?

      By Mage · Posted

      Game-winning drives have been credited to QBs since the beginning of time

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      A lot of people have been slobbing all over this last draft but I hate the way that Fitterer/Morgan have built this offense since drafting Bryce. Anyone with eyes knew our IOL was crap but we didn't invest there and instead took project receivers and an injured RB. If you want a lesson in how build for your QB wrong, IMO, this was it. Draft him, protect him, THEN get him weapons. Its pretty much a rule, draft interior linemen, pay tackles. We're paying everyone. We had the opportunity to draft a center instead of Brooks, or perhaps instead of trading up for XL, trade back and take 2 guards/center. We could have paid Lewis and still drafted 2, but Hunt at 100m was just an overpay. And it's not like the guys many of us were begging us to draft were long shots. They're solid starters from day 1. Injuries happen. That's why all your starters can't be high value players. You need rookie contracts mixed in to be able to absorb those inevitable losses on the line. An offensive line playing an entire season together is an abnormality.  Factor into that also paying Moton 44m this offseason with a huge signing bonus when we didnt need to do right now to do him a "solid".  Now we have to sign Icky and possibly Bryce and it's a mess with more money tied up in the offense, inevitable cuts and dead cap coming. That's not even factoring in shifting Corbett to C last year after major injury to start at a position he's never played for an NFL season. It's all stuff that was foreseeable and pretty easily avoided.  The $$ and picks we've spent trying to surround Bryce outside of Tmac (Mitchell and Horn are TBD) have been used inefficiently IMO. Smarter drafting and FA with the line could have let us get more reliable weapons than XL and Sanders in FA. It might not be popular opinion, but I'll take a Bersin with hands that can get 6-8 85% of the time vs a big play XL with greasy fingers.  The part about hitting guys in stride was more about placement, which Bryce has struggled with. Obviously not every route is run to be hit in stride, but they do need to have the ball placed well to give the receivers a chance to do something after the catch. I just used Hill as an example because he's the biggest YAC threat I could think of over the past 5 years.   Receivers can feast on dink and dunk if it's schemed right. But to make it work, that vertical threat has to be there, if not the deep pass then the high speed routes that can spring someone for the huge YAC to keep the safeties from cheating into that 20 yard box all game.  I hope DC and Bryce can keep up what they did in the last game and it isnt just an Atlanta thing. But no matter what, I really want to see some better long term strategy coming from the FO.
