its a 3rd and a 4rth for a 24 year old "project". Draft grade or not that looks fuging stupid on paper

The 4rth better produce a damn offensive lineman, there are plenty left that could add crucial depth which we dont have

I love, absolutely love the mingo pick but goddamn that shouldnt send fitt and co into a damn death spiral of desperation in trying to get a DE. Just take the lump and move on down the road.

I mean do they really think this dude is going to be a better building block for your team then Darnall washington? It really doesnt make a lick of sense

Its not just the pick its the giving up a 4rth for it

Not really https://www.nfl.com/prospects/dj-johnson/32004a4f-4820-4752-6ea6-b2eea911de03 Lacks run game recognition and shed timing. Tackle technique will need work. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10073740-dj-johnson-nfl-draft-2023-scouting-report-for-carolina-panthers-edge – When lined up head up on the tackle, he lacks block recognition and agility to avoid getting reached. – He has a habit of gambling and leaving his gap early against the run. – Struggles to break down and tackle in space.

then bite the bullet and go a different direction, look at the draft board there was a poo load of talent left that were other positions. We got desperate and it bit us in the ass

wasted draft capital a 24 year old project that hasnt produced poo and is only being drafted based on his combine results

When the consensus on here, the consensus of the draft people pretty much say it was a bad trade and pick coupled with Kayes tweet I am pretty goddamn confident that this was a mistake

how do we "know" this?

a 3rd and 4rth is one expensive ass special teamer

and that goes to show you even those professionals panic and make mistakes under pressure

And I am fine with that, just dont give up assets to get a 24 year old project when there are still good players on the board at other positions

said absolutely nobody

With all the talent still left on the board, just bite the bullet and admit the wr gamble fuged you in the pursuit of a de and go in a different direction. Life to fight another day and all that. Why go all panicky pete and not only reach but give away assets to go after a mid 20's developmental guy? I thought we literally just drafted one of those last year

This was a bad bad panic move by Fitt. Really fuging stupid move

Why we trading up for projects?

Why trade up for him?

Ummm ok falcons. You do you

I mean the lions need defense not offense

Detroit doesn’t need offense

Sam Laporte? Wtf

Levis does has a damn laser thrower.

Maybe but if Ridder figures it out that offense is going to be incredibly legit

From a team building aspect you are 100% correct that 10 is too high with all the holes they have. However from our perspective its going to be a motherfuger playing them and their run game.
