Growl

Peter Schrager’s mock now has Worthy going 17 overall, ahead of Brian Thomas. I can see it.

people are vastly overestimating the transition from guard to center

well tell us who they want

sure there’s criticisms but welcome to the nfl draft. I’m generally more concerned with what these guys can do as opposed to what they can’t. He has rare attributes. That’s hard to get outside the top of the draft.

nobody plays as fast as their 40 time, but that’s not the point. He’s bendy and explosive pre and post catch and is always the most explosive guy on the field. He’s held up and done it consistently over three seasons. im not getting locked into this idea of needing to find a traditional X player, especially since we’re not picking in the 1st round. If he struggles against press, then motion him and line him up off. It’s not uncharted territory he has rare attributes that good offensive coordinators dream about. That’s hard to get in the second round and I’d much rather do that than hoping some of these other guys-all of them with their own set of flaws-to an increasing degree the further down the board you go-put it together.

you’ve got to understand that for most posters the evaluation is as simple as “broke the 40 record? So he’s John Ross huh no thanks”

Probably my favorite of any mock I’ve seen, wonder if there’s any sourcing or if he’s just saying what he’d do

he didn’t do anything this past season and I don’t care I still want him on the team

if we came away with both the Xaviers I’d be pretty pleased but I don’t really think they’re considering it

literally every team that’s debuted a new uniform this offseason has offered up rock solid evidence for why they should stay with what they’ve had

draft a second round receiver or dont bother. this team has enough of these softball lob type players at the position make a meaningful investment there or just go into the season with what you have and draft guys where you can still get starter potential positions in the 3rd

these are just 40 times? maybe I’m misunderstanding what you’re saying. All those players were better prospects than the players you listed.

but where are the videos?!

Recency bias, all of those latter guys would go behind the first rounders. Pearsall played the majority of his snaps from the slot.

there’s not going to be any “1st round talents” sitting around in the 3rd and there’s a substantial drop off from the second level to the third Lot of guys being overvalued by the outside world

it’s football not the marshal service, players say things like this every draft season

there’s this angle as well, saying something like this has no downside for him and could yield real benefits, but you’re not going to convince people whose in depth draft evaluations have already made decisions

we’re questioning his intelligence now lol? people get so emotionally invested in these draft picks and if they don’t like the prospect things get weirdly personal players say things like this every season its normal

you seldom need “immediate contributors” in the draft and when you do you’re much further along in a build than this team is that’s not why the draft exists

unnamed sources lol why you are sitting on this forum each day obsessively mashing the refresh button if you aren’t giving any credence to any of the prominent insiders that make this forum go? We’ve seen you do it. lets go ahead and mark this post as a delineation point in which you no longer comment on anything that any of the local best reporters have to say, if only so we do not have to endure you pretending to filter out what you want to believe from what you do not want to believe as anything approaching an objective standard Frank Reich wanted Bryce young. That’s backed by the only credible reporting we’ve gotten on the matter. Unnamed sources are now insider journalism works. If you want to masquerade in the fairy tale of your confirmation bias you’re welcome to but you’re going to get challenged on it when you try to spread the misinformation publicly

we’ve heard pretty definitively from outside sources with insider access that Frank Reich was a primary battery behind selecting young your can stick your fingers in your ears and ignore that and peddle conspiracy theories on here but until the individual in question has legitimate counter sourcing then it’s just conspiracy whining to be ignored

Reich had no clue how to draw an offense up for a QB he wanted to draft? this is a pretty terrible post

so here’s the league model: build a veteran offense and once that’s ready to go and is eating your money you get a bunch of first contract guys on defense theres a reason they signed a bunch of veterans on defense this offseason-because once this team is presumably ready to go all in over the next season or two-you can field a competitive team with a well paid offense and cheap athletic rookies who can fly all over the field on defense. anyways the point is that you’ve got to go offense heavy this draft. I’m not worried about defense in this draft. Maybe one guy in the first four picks. Edit: obviously these guys would receive rookie contracts now but would be much closer to reupping in the process overall a couple seasons from now. The big money will likely be thrown at offensive guys in free agency as you saw this past FA period.

it doesn’t even really make sense, Young made heavy use of an explosive vertical threat at Alabama and having one on the field loosens things underneath.

is this meant to be a joke about how the panthers always get plundered in trades? dropping 16 spots for some developmental piece is laughable
