I wouldn't be opposed. I'm not high in him but that was considering his expectations of being a mid-round pick. Now we're in the 7th. That's completely different calculus.

It's been two seasons. It just feels like one because we're still waiting for a season's worth of production out of him despite him already having 25 starts under his belt. The big problem is that he actually looked more promising as a rookie then he did as a sophomore. Coker has similar production in the same number of seasons despite having 18 fewer starts and 59 fewer targets.. Discrepancies in opportunities created by XL being a 1st round pick and Coker being a UDFA. But the Panthers finally accepted down the stretch last year that Coker is simply a better WR, regardless of prior draft status. If Coker had been provided Xl's opportunities from the start I think he'd be viewed as one of the more promising young WRs in the league.

No one benefitted from an extra season due to COVID more than XL. This dude did nothing until his 6th season of college football when he was literally a man playing amongst boys. I mean, this dude literally went from a guy who might not have even gotten UDFA phone calls to a 1st round pick. That's crazy. For the record, I said all of this leading up to the draft when I was saying I wanted no part of him when the rumors started swirling that we were enamored with him.

I'd try to trade XL for something (anything) and it's time for coach favorite Moore to be sent packing.

Dani Dennis-Sutton has a chance to be one of those guys who everyone is saying in a few years "how the hell did this guy fall to the 4th round". I honestly didn't realize he was still available.

Tackling. I just want a legit center fielder. I don't want him tackling. I want him over the top in the deep third.

Nice. More than I expected. I'll take that. There's plenty if guys still on the board I'd be happy with and clearly the Panthers agreed.

I wonder what we picked up? We didn't move back far so it couldn't have been much.

Give me Genesis Smith.

We're stuck with an anemic passing offense as long as we're stuck with Bryce. It just is what it is.

I wouldn't wish getting drafted as a QB by the Jets on my worst enemy.

Bingo. For some reason we've always been perfectly happy to field two SS types. I've longed forever for a legit over the top sideline to sideline FS. The options that gives you with the rest of your defense having that safety valve over the top (literally the reason the position is called "safety"). You can be confident to be so much more aggressive with your other 10 guys.

The first four picks today were only surprising in that it was surprising those four guys were still available. Those were great value picks at this point in the draft.

We've been saying this about FS for 20 years.

Most analysts expected four, maybe five TEs to go in the first three rounds. There's been doube that.

Factual.

For all that talk about this being a weak TE draft there sure has been a bunch taken in the first three rounds.

I have no issue saying he's improved. The issue is that he's improved from not looking NFL to looking like a guy who might he able to carve out a career as a backup. Improved Bryce is still one of the worst starters kn the league.

I explained the stats to you but you're in love. It's kinda sad that one of the games his defenders have to latch onto is a home playoff loss where he was one completion over 50% and had to attempt 40 passes to throw for 264 yards. 21/40 for 264 yards a TD and an INT is a great game for pur going into his 4th year trade the farm to get #1 overall pick QB. I mean, that says it all.

What I like about this pick is we're removing the excuses for Bryce. We've drafted the 2nd top 10 OT of Bryce's career. We've drafted two 1dt round WRs, and now a 3rd rounder. We've made the investments in the offense. If we're still at or near the bottom of the league offensively it's time to admit it and move on.

Did you watch the games? We very carefully dialed up our deep shots with the majority coming in 3rd or 4th and short situations. We threw deep when the opposing team expected us to run it up the gut. I'm bored with mocking PFF's "big tine throw" bullshit.

Lord almighty... LOLOLOLOL

He fell in part because of attitude issues. This could be fun when Bryce is underthrowing him by 10 yards with wounded ducks. If he whoops Bryce's ass on camera on the sidelines buy his jersey immediately. LOL

These analysts talking about taking the top off the defense and stretching the field like we have a QB that can do that.

Vikings just drafted a guy at 82 that I would've taken over the guy we traded up to 49 for.
