Ideal 1st Round Pick for Carolina [UPDATED]


MichaelNewtonII

Recommended Posts

Are you guys as comfortable spending a 1st round pick on an LT next year given how much Joeckel and Fisher have struggled thus far? Are next year's Tackle prospects that much better than those two? It seems like we'd be in for another season of "growing pains" if we have to endure the struggles of a rookie LT rather than getting an immediate contributor with our first rounder. Would it be better to get o-line help in FA rather than draft one? Or if we could find a Bakhtiari-type OT later in the draft...that would be pretty huge.

 

i would always rather get OL help in FA rathert han the draft just because of how much rookies struggle on the line. true, all rookies struggle, but i'd much rather have my rookie struggling result in dropped balls rather than numerous sacks/pressures/hits, holding calls, false starts, and an overall weakness on that part of the line due to other guys having to compensate while the new guy on the line takes a couple years to learn how to take his skates off and quit committing stupid penalties.

 

the only problem is, FA help on the OL can be much more expensive unless you are really good at this diamond in the rough stuff.

Sammy is making tough catches in traffic tonite which some said was a weakness.but Evans went off tonite, he is making himself some money.

 

He's killing right now

 

Lee dropped a perfect pass in the endzone in the first quarter

 

Definitely not having as good as last season

i told you guys, this guy is the truth.world class speed, and is tough as hell. 8 catches, 130+ yards and 2 TDs and its only the 3rd quarter.

 

 

Greene looked like a beast, but I came away very impressed with Kelvin Benjamin.  6'6", sick vertical and hands of velcro.  I could see him emerging as well as the season goes on.

i like benjamin as well,he is a rsoph like Mike Evans so he could declare. but Greene is just way to explosive and smooth WR. he just reminds me of DJax.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
