Clemson remains the 2nd best team of the college football playoff era. I mean, that's the hate summed up in reality.

yeah, Johnson would be more of an 89 classic headcase WR than a DJ Moore get-along guy. 89 made a drowning Clausen's life probably tougher than it had to be.

Wilson was already a pro bowl, all pro, super bowl champ and then Canales arrived. Baker literally was Baker everywhere but Carolina. And we proved in that window, we could even make Sam Darnold look worse than NY Sam. I mean, I'll concede Geno. That's a legit example of a QB being different. But that also Geno stepping into a team that was winning 10+ every season for a decade. I mean, I'm just at the show me stage. I'm not buying into hype any longer. Past 4 years have all been the same thing. Just doesn't feel any different for me yet.

he is a true poor man's CMC and he 100% should be a role player in a backfield at the next level. Not the dude. That should never be the expectation there.

I'd love Shipley in around the 4th. I think he could have immediate impact in a RB committee being the rec option. I think as rookie he likely could outplay everyone here as receiver out of the backfield. Thomas doesn't rank super high on my list of DL players out of Clemson the last several years. I'd like him in a 4-3 better than 3-4 look. He never lived up to what he was supposed to in college.

I still really wish Gantt wasn't working for Tepper during the Tepper era. That's probably why Tepper has him working for him.

it's part of the process. the Panther fan torture process. Got to get you high first leading up to the season.

as Clemson fan.....I hope we don't break the Clemson drought by drafting a Clemson DB.

I'd be fine with me. Homer in me wants Shipley in the 4th if he fell there. I think he could come in pretty quickly and be a better 3rd down RB than the dudes we have.

worded poorly. But I take it as last/final year as a Panther. Theilen is most likely done here after this year. Johnson most likely is just a one year rental if playing the odds. then it goes into big picture, and really that is just Mingo that projects out long term. ISM I guess.

I think the 4th round is where you should target RBs. You aren't going to find a CMC but that's where you build your RB committee. Dudes drafted in the 4th round were 2nd round talent in prior eras. Get a pass catching RB in this draft that can pass block.

I think figuring out if Bryce is the plan past this season and fixing the O…..is the most important thing in 2024. I don’t care about winning some random this year. Record doesn’t matter We don’t know if we even have a legit starter at C. So it’s competition I want for that. Loser is depth

I mean we fixed our OL….by moving a meh OG into the starting C spot. Not sure the OL is fixed yet. Think they still got some work in FA there. Draft isn’t going to solve that. I’d feel better with an option B at center competing with a Corbett.

I mean, after the 89 game... 89 wasn't even good and lucked his way into being our nightmare for the day. I mean big Dexter Lawerence might make the real plays or someone and Burns cleans it up and picks up the fumble after he spleens Bryce Young.

a bad year for Dabo is a great season for basically every other major school in the area.

Baker's career didn't turn around. Baker was Baker in Tampa. Baker was Baker in LA. Baker was Baker in Clev. The only unique thing.....was when Baker came to Carolina. The team that even made Sam Darnold worse than NY Sam. They were the 20th ranked O. They were bottom half of the league in yards and points.

I don't think Burns is going to be anything different in NY. But that one game? I don't know.

The huddle wasn’t calling Sanders a 3rd tier skilll player when we signed him last offseason. Probably don’t want to bump those threads.

Yeah, people forget the hype and talk last offseason. Fittterer was highly praised here overall. I just didn’t see it then. Don’t see it now. Last time I really was optimistic was Rhule’s first year in that Covid season. Suspect every offseason since.

Has he proven he is a QB whisperer? Carolina is just where QBs have sucked. Baker instantly went back to being Baker at LA and then Tampa.

Wonnum

nah, JJ got the inside scoop from Tepper's bodyguard post drink throwing that they drafting Will Shipley at the top of the 4th and yall just can't see it for what it is. Go Tigers!

that's a cumulative reference by JJ I would say. Glad JJ is doing the honorable thing and calling out such a travesty and injustice. Draft a Clemson player!

We might have to think outside the box. Rock Hill can rename Cherry Rd to Gilmore Ave.

I only like Leggette in the 3rd if we already spent a one of our 2nd rounders on a WR. The double dip is what I want. That's really the only scenario I am pimping. I don't like Leggette as the only WR drafted. I'm not a Mingo fan. Much like Bryce, Mingo didn't really have any moments.....at a position where dudes these days generally show you something early. Something. my days of blind attachment have long faded away. You got to show flashes or I want bodies to complete. I don't want guys just slotted into positions. So let Leggette and Mingo battle.
