I like Carter a lot but after this years draft we will have dug ourselves out of the Bryce trade draft capital hole. Let's not celebrate that by picking up the shovel and starting to dig again.

No. You probably talking about trading #8, #57, and next year's 1st. Fug all of that. Fug that hard.

People who didn't watch him look pretty pedestrian against a top shelf D in PSU then went back and looked to see that most of his gaudy stats were piled up against mediocre at best competition.

I can't for the life of me figure out what people are seeing in Stewart on tape. If he can't just simply run around or through the OL in front of him, he's cooked. I don't see any actual moves. If he doesn't win on sheet athleticism at the point of contact he's nullified. I don't know if I've ever seen him actually beat a block once engaged. Then, even if he just blasts right past or through the OL and has a clean path to the ball it's like he's blind. He can't find the ball. He's like a bottle rocket. Yeah, he takes off fast but he's just going to go fast in a general direction. There will be no course correction. I watched quite a bit on him just because of his perceived draft evaluation and because of the wild discrepancy between measurables and production. Watch him play and it all makes since. He's a god tier physical specimen who just happens to be playing football. I don't see a football player. People need to stop falling in love with the potential and start realizing why the potential isn't translating.

It's true.

No one should be the least bit surprised by this organization doing powerfully stupid stuff. You don't accidentally achieve the worst record in the NFL since 2018, it takes consistently awful decisions to pull that off. And then the cherry on top of the dog poo sundae is that every year when we're closing in on a top 5 pick, here comes a couple of meaningless moral victories to fug that up. I'd be curious what percentage of our wins in the Tepper era have come when we're mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. Feels like most of them with most of the rest coming when we might not be mathematically eliminated yet but we might as well be because we're basically going to have to run the table while other contenders absolutely faceplant which is basically the same thing as being eliminated. LOL

The NFL needs to stop overdrafting these types and let them do what they should do - play another year of college ball.

I don't know that anyone hates Hunter at #8 I just don't think anyone expects him to be available at #8.

Yeah, I was thinking he's the type of guy who would be an end in odd fronts and move inside in even fronts like Aaron Donald. Not saying he's Aaron Donald, just saying a similar usage in terms of alignment.

It is? We gave up 4000+ yards and 35 TDs in the air. LOL

I don't want Shemar Stewart because his measurables scream potential #1 overall draft pick while his production screams UDFA. He's honestly a guy who should be mid-late round boom/bust pure athletic potential type of pick, not a potential top 10 pick. I'd like Jalen Walker because I just think he's a football player. Turn on a UGA game and see which guy just jumps off the screen on defense. It's him. Would not be mad about T-Mac or Warren.

Yeah, I can see him potentially being really good but I think he's more likely to be an underwhelming disappointment. Maybe not an outright bust but just meh. Like if we took this guy on the third round, yay. But top 10? Damn...

BINGO Stewart and his "UDFA just hoping he can land a camp invite" production being talked about as a potential top 10 pick is fuging wild. I know this draft is being perceived as light on top shelf talent but c'mon...

I mean, the reality is that the Panthers have basically only drafted three good WRs - Moose, Smitty, and DJ Moore. KB was on the way but that double whammy of tearing his ACL and loosing his mom derailed him. But then again, we've only drafted three 1st round WRs and never drafted a WR higher than #24.

But no OL. And no run D.

Truth. I'd love to have one but I also understand that great receivers seem to be a lot more valuable in fantasy football than in reality.

I mean, we did just have the worst scoring defense in NFL history. If there was a Jamarr Chase or Justin Jefferson type prospect I'd be pounding the table for him. I like T-Mac and wouldn't be mad about drafting him but I'm not going to pretend that we don't have at least equal needs on the defensive side of the ball.

I saw that and was like "who dafuq is Trey McBride?" 6 career TDs??? Highest paid TE ever??? LOLOLOL

The Pats' turned a 6th round pick into a 5th and a 7th. I guess that's a winning move.

I don't think we're going to get that type of offer. I'd also be leery of moving THAT far back. If we're moving back I'd still want to stay in the top 15 or so. We earned the #8 pick because we were trash. A few meaningless late season wins aside we honestly should've been drafting significantly higher where we would have significantly better options hence why I didn't want those wins.

He's the biggest wild card in the draft by far. I suspect evaluations swing wildly because his physical talent is pretty marginal and you have to watch him play on the college field and ask yourself "does this translate to the NFL?" If I'm being honest, I don't see it. I see the classic "really good college player who doesn't translate to the NFL". I basically see a poor man's Johnny Manziel. He is better than Manziel was when he's on schedule but just like Manziel a lot of his game relied on running around, buying time, and relying on his all-world talent at WR to bail him out and does that translate to the NFL with his physical skill set? I don't think it does. Everyone is looking for the next Mahomes but so far Mahomes is pretty much a unicorn on making that approach work in the NFL. I guess I'll give you Russell Wilson in his prime too but those guys both have (had) elite arm talent that Sanders simply doesn't have. Then you have the daddy factor massive wild card. Deion definitely has all the potential to turn into the NFL version of Lavar Ball and that has to be factored in, so you better LOVE the prospect and I'm just not seeing it.

I would imagine that an organization like the Steelers would want to stay far away from a circus like Sanders would likely bring to town. I could see them taking a shot on Jaxson Dart though.

The Pats' OL was dreadful last year and they spent heavily on D in free agency. They really should take the #1 OT at #4.

Wouldn't surprise me. Turn on a UGA game and just see who jumps off the screen on defense.

I voted Jalen Walker because I think the trade back options won't be very appealing. I don't want to move back just for the sake of it if there isn't good return.
