Because he's quick and has great acceleration, but lacks top end speed. You don't send him out to run deep routes. He's a YAC guy on shorter routes.

Malik had over 1200 yards. You could argue he took targets away from Slayton. But if a rookie is taking your burn, then you're not worth a $10M+ a year contract.

Yeah... no.

There is no way you pick Stewart in the top 10! At best, I'd pick in the 2nd round. At best! He doesn't disrupt the game. He's a solid player, but not a disruptive force. At all. Watching him against Texas this year, and honestly Nick Scourton looks like the better player. No pass rush moves. Not even particularly physical at the point of contact with olinemen. No way.

Tez Johnson in the 5th please. His size and 40 time really tanked his draft stock.

I agree that he'll be off the board by #8. I'm just not sure that Carolina should take a chance if he is. If he misses significant time, I don't think Morgan has built up enough credit to keep fans, and more importantly Tepper, confident in his ability to make good draft choices. Legette and Brooks had previous injuries before being drafted. Wallace didn't but is questionable for training camp due to injury during the season. Track record isn't great so far.

Yeah that's not the point. It comes down to losing confidence in the GMs ability to perform a very big part of his job. Draft. Injuries happen in football. But when guys start missing time due to known injuries, that's a problem. And how do we know it won't turn into another Horn or Brooks situation? It doesn't have to be Carter. But the first 2 to 3 picks need to be on the field with minimal injury concerns. That wasn't the case last season.

I mean if Carter fell to #8 and isn't ready by week 1, Tepper might take Morgan's keys and parking spot before the game is over. And I can't say I'd blame him.

I don't know about Center, but OT could very possibly be BPA at #8.

Wasn't Brooks supposed to be back by training camp, then it was week 1, then...

Ain't that the truth! My theory is these bigger guys haven't played receiver their whole lives. They started at QB, DE and RB when they were little. I like those little dudes that have only ever run routes and catch the football.

Isn't Billy Bowman a safety?

Yeah, defense really should be the priority this off-season. Draft and free agency. With 9 picks in the draft, they can take a 4th or 5th round flyer on a speedy, elusive WR. I don't care if he's an X or Y or whatever. Team needs more speed on the field. I want to see a receiver that looks like the fastest/quickest guy on the field. Don't care how big he is.

Late round WR LaJohntay Wester. Anyone else think he's a guy thay could add a new dimension to the offense? And his teammate Jimmy Horn Jr?

Jalon Walker if he's there. Butkus award winners have a pretty good record of success in the NFL.
