I think we need to replace Hubbard. Sanders fills the Foreman role. Early downs. Think we need a pass catcher

Steelers took the UGA TE in the 3rd.

TE Davis Allen too if Kuntz isn’t still like this area of a draft for RBs. Still need a 3rd down type especially if we want to highlight the dink and dunk.

Got to be some Pack fans around here to comment…

You watch college football? Fans take the field after rivalry games and or big wins. Common occurrence that everyone deals with. Hell, Clemson fans take the field after every single home game win or lose. Literally every player in the draft dealt with it their entire college career.

Nah, this is just fandom and excuse making. 24 year olds ain’t “kids”. Be 25 for us in his rookie year. And his last act on a football field was a sucker punching and assaulting someone from behind for a couple words as he walked by. That’s a legit red flag no matter how you slice it. Perfectly reasonable to dislike a team using 2 picks to overdraft him when there was other talent that filled holes in the 3rd. And you keep your 4th. It is what it is. Calling it what it was. Hopefully he can redeem himself of that. But that’s part of the deal at this point. And should be.

lol. Have at it. I do. I don’t care for the team I support to draft dudes like that. Just not my preference, too many other options. That was literally just 5 months ago and the dude is 24. No consequences on top of it. That’s his last act as an old college player. Sucker punching a dipshit fan in the back because you can’t handle your emotions. That’s not toughness or dawg. That’s a dumbass that can’t handle pressure and emotions. Anywho, moving on….but I’ll stick with not liking using 2 picks to overdraft this dude.

Not just punch him. Sucker punch to the back of the head. And he frankly faced no consequences for it. His next move was to declare for the draft. And that just happened with the 24 year old. It’s not like it was something that happened at 18 and you saw growth and maturity after.

BJ did it in the SEC for years though. Wouldn’t call a guy who did it in the PAC12 once the same production. and the mature 24 year old punched a fan. In the back of the head. Just last season. That’s not exactly the dog mentality we have been lacking IMO. That’s dumb on display and lack of basic control.

Then you just go rent a guy in free agency that can actually do the job today vs wasting 2 draft picks to overdraft a guy.

3rd down RB. And it’s an area of the draft where you could actually find someone that could play vs be a camp body/project for the first couple years. *bonus points if he has punt return ability i mean if we are running a dink/dunk offense we need that

I mean, the NFL is a big ego world full of people that get butt hurt pretty easily by the masses. But yeah, no one cares when they get called idiots and are criticized as doing dumb stuff. and it was just a simple statement. I didn’t even say fans. Was more alluding the the big picture. Fans, media and their own colleagues. So yeah, I suspect they would prefer to be praised than bashed for their decisions. That’s just a people thing. and it always gets weird where people act like football folks are mega geniuses that shouldn’t dare questioned by mere mortals…... I mean, how could they ever do something dumb. NFL is full of dumb people just like every other inch of society.

it’s just more of a statement that most late round picks don’t wow and work out statistically speaking. I haven’t complained about many in real time. This one stands out and I think the Panthers today probably realize they are going to hear it about this one. Even the ones I don’t love I generally support as whatever. this one just seems like a bad gamble given value, location and cost. It’s not so much the addition of the player it’s the resources used. Screams of poor draft management. Yeah, everything is a gamble. But there is still some basic math/value to how you should be gambling to maximize things.

Well that’s a huge part of it. You have up a pick for a dude that odds and sentiment favored would be there is roundS later. The argument all it takes is 1 team isn’t something I care for because a wildcard could take out anyone and you could use that defense on every decision ever made

lol if you play simple odds and math the genius move is to criticize every pick that isn’t a first rounder and you basically are going to generally be right the overwhelming majority of the time lol. And that’s without even looking at who we pick at any point.

The 3rd round pick defense is the definition of just blind defense of the home team. We would knock any other team for the reach given the the better options/football players available . if you can’t knock the pick then you basically are arguing no pick by any team should be criticized .

Gotta think this dude was a short order cook

Well, I still feel this should be a Young focused draft. And that’s pretty much my view. think the draft should be WR, TE, OG, pass catching RB as priority adds Think round 2 and 3 were ideal to get two of the first 3 in that list. RB later on.

Steelers just took him. And they got a better TE than Hurst already on the roster in Pat Freiermuth.

There are dudes in the 3rd round of this draft that don’t need 3-4 years to blossom. You talking about blossoming at near 30 given his age. we just drafted a rookie QB #1 overall. We aren’t a win immediately team. We got to develop our QB. should of just drafted that 6’7 UGA TE instead and focused on Bryce Young’s development.

I mean, I think the last 2 picks have been a little bit of reaches. Not saying I don’t like the players but I think you could have traded down to get both of them….definitely don’t like the trade up.

Reality is, a second year player drafted in the 3rd round….should feel he can be the man. Regardless of what the team does. Act that way too. That’s in theory what we want the roster full of. I got no problem if Corral keeps the number. I’d sell it though.

yeah, and the Panthers PR is essentially they built this great offense for a rookie QB. I just don't see that. We added a journeyman TE. Decent. We are overrating him because our TE play has been non-existent post Olsen. We added a WR that has been hurt his entire career. Suited up for only 65% of his available games. An aging and declining Theilen who I do like being paired up w/ a rookie QB. and a returning 3rd year player with 1 career TD that still hasn't amassed 500 career yards. and a very solid runner who isn't known for his great dual threat ability. Backed up by stone hands Chubba. I do like Sanders. But he isn't CMC. He needs help to round out the backfield. I'd rather the draft focus on the offense. Focus at looking at WR/TE/OG talent. Especially rounds 2-3. Try to find a pass catching RB late. I think this should be a draft about Young. Not spreading the draft assets all over the roster.

this! You can draft a super talented QB. Give him a bunch of average joes and you most likely are going to look like you got a bust on your hands. I don't think our current setup is a place where a #1 overall pick is setup to thrive and grow at the moment. Think the offense around what a rookie QB present day will be is being drastically overrated by some. You can look at most of the recent rookies that have really shined. They were in great places from an offensive skill stand point around them. Why did Cam, then Luck, then Herbert set records in passing? It wasn't just there talent. They had casts around them made for a rookie QB to have success. I care more about Young developing than our W/L record in 2023.
