Our defense is going to look a lot better when they're playing with a lead also. The draft isn't over. We're gonna add pieces.

I think that's a great point and one I wasn't thinking. I thought maybe they took McMillan because they deem the cupboard too bare. Not sure I like that for XL though. I mean if he all the sudden caught those big moment catches last year he has an entirely different narrative. He made those drops yes, but he gets open and has a lot of physical talent. I'm not ready to shut the door on the guy. But the fact is we are an injury and a retirement away from only having Coker be a threat (whom I do think will be a stud though).

That's my only problem with the pick. I think Coker is going to be our future #1.

Watch him have a pro bowl season.

Oh I'm with you. I'm saying he's better than anyone not named Moss, TO, CJ, Jones.

I think he's in the top 6-10 conversation. I'd take Smith over Holt, Bruce, Wayne, Fitzgerald, Tim Brown, Boldin, Carter, Marvin Harrison, etc. Hard to say he's better than Rice, Moss, TO, Calvin Johnson, Julio Jones, peak Antonio Brown.

Just my observation but I don't really see the big difference between 4.48 and 4.5. I understand that these are the best athletes in the world and there is a minutia to their evaluations. But the 40 doesn't mimic in game situations, or game speed, player motivations, etc. Now 4.3 to a 4.40 I could see that being substantial.

I do think if David Gettis doesn't tear that ACL he would have been one of our major contributors for several years. Smith seemed to respect the guys that had hustle and were late rounders. Maybe part of that is because they knew they couldn't touch him. But if you had a pedigree and didn't back it up he was definitely an asshole.

I'm glad we got him locked up. I love Horn not only for his talent but for his Panther pride on the field. He takes losing personally and he still wants to be here and make us a formidable squad. Hope we one day talk about him like we do Minter, TD, Luke, etc.

I think the problem is they know Dowdle can play and a RB in the draft could always pull an Eric Shelton and suck ass. They know they need a decent option to spell Chuba which Dowdle can be that. Brooks did look good in his limited time. Now there is no pressure to rush his rehab. That said I wouldn’t be mad at another late round back coming to the team. But I would prefer not seeing it until Rd 5.

Watched his highlights. Seems like a good player but not exactly a speedster. Seems sorta Chuba like. However this is a good deal and allows us to let Brooks recover fully.

Love seeing how we are addressing our needs.

Yes !

I think he's doing pretty well.
