the drops are factored by catchable targets. In that stat, the average NFL drop rate is 6.7. However, if you are looking at PASS ATTEMPTS, the percentage of drops iin the NFL is 3.6%. Here are the drops by team per pass attempt: FUN FACT: The stadium with the highest drop rate is KC--the lowest drop rate is Minnesota.

Moore as a #5 WR is not bad. he is 30, hope it is a 1-year deal vet min.

I see it this way--I agree with you, first of all, but pushing all your chips in on Winston has been a losing proposition for a lot of GMs and Coaches. He oozes talent, but makes one or two dumbass plays a game that make you cry. Schoen and Daboll are gone after this season if there is no progress. It would be risky, but better than a lot of other options. I hate what Rodgers is doing to them. The last 2 superstar GB QBs have been peckerheads--I used to like GB, but I could not pull for Favre or Rodgers.

Some call me crazy for making posts like this--but I see the second tier qbs in this draft as some potentially developmental gems--I would take Will Howard in the third or fourth to keep protected on the PS and learn for 2 years. I would consider the QBs from Syracuse, Texas, Ole Miss, Louisville, Ohio State, and maybe even Alabama in that role. I think the two years of development and watching would be great-some players develop at times that don't align with the NFL draft. In two years, you have an option--yuo don't have an average QB's agent robbing you because they know you are out of options

TEA LEAVE TIME!!! The coaches (ILB and DL) suggest an interest in TJ Sanders, Hemingway (DTs) and Demetrius Knight Jr. (ILB that nobody has mentioned but is probably a late third, early fourth rounder). No DB coach? Emmanawori is their best player, a mid to late round S. Wonder if the ILB coach will watch him as well? Note: While Hemmingway is not their star DT, the Panthers talked to him at one of the bowl games or combine. Not sure if it was formal, but I read it somewhere.

You might be spot on, but I see him as a mid first round guy--a small trade back and he would be my pick. I think he has upside and will be a better pro than the other top WRs. but nobody knows.

Highest upside in the draft. They said the same about Worthy last year. I understand the concerns, but gamers step up and have the tape to back it up. Workout warriors dont.

that makes me feel better--I need to watch his videos

If you play DL for 13 games, how do you not accidentally get 1.5 sacks a year?

I was just joking (sorta) when I posted this last month. Then there was this: I was not 100% serious. I did not think it would happen. Please Dan. Don't draft a defensive XL in the first round this year.

Another project in the first round would get Dan hammered by local fans. If the Panthers did not institute a gag order after Xavier "Dollar Bill" Legette started running his mouth last year, then I would think they are trying to suck.

S or TE at 8 is not the way to go--but if we move back, I would take a safety around 20. I see edge or WR at 8---but I look at the draft--where the talent is and based on our needs--I would do this, even though nobody asked. In the first round, I would take the WR (we need 2 if nothing changes) and I think Golden will be in the top 10 range then--that is who I would take, knowing what I know now. TMac is in play as well. In the second round, I think I would wait with a list of possible edge rushers--Princely, Sawyer, etc. and possibly move up 5-10 spots in the second to get the edge we like I think we probably like "dawg" Jack Sawyer. In the third, I would look at Safety. If we can end day 2 with a WR, edge, and S, I would be happy.

I think we should give them our team hat to wear in the green room.

Of course, that S from South Carolina is a beast as well, and we like to draft Gamecocks first overall of late.

We do like our raw and injured prospects. In both I see almost the same player, and it is not a player we need. Don't we have these guys in Wonnum and Pat Jones? They are all about the same size. I do not see the logic in drafting another player in that mold. I don't think anyone in mid march has an idea yet. Let it play out.

Beats me, buddy. Look at SF--they are gutting their roster so they can give Purdy a QB deal. I have a friend who said they should give the QB $130m of the cap and let him pay his OL, WRs, RBs, and TEs. You want $60m? Then you have $70m for the rest... That is what bothers me about Bryce Young. If you have to pay him $60m in 2 years, and if it takes $80m to pay for the kind of OL you need to protect him, and he needs WRs that will cost $40m and a meager $10m for RBs and $10 m for TEs....we are saying that for Bryce to be effective, it is going to cost $200m. That leaves $80m for the defense. We can't keep paying $30m per year for guards while our OTs are making $40m. $10m at C, and a $60m QB is half the cap. That does not include WRs, TEs, RBs. It is crazy. As you say, we have to draft effectively and we have to be very intelligent about our second contracts. '

The Bengals are currently in negotiations with Hendrickson. If they do, over 50% of their cap will go to 4 players.

The market for good CBs is now $30m. The market for an good edge is about $30m. The market for a good starting QB is about $60m. The market for a top T is nearly $30m. The market for a top WR is now $40m. The market for a top DT is over $30m. The market for a good OG is now over $20m. The market for a good TE is $15m The market for the best ILBs is $20m That totals $275m and most of those positions require 2 or more starters. There are 53 players on the roster. The growing salary cap is going to the best players in the league, and these players are setting the market for lesser players.

Blackmon has been on my radar as well

I agree--I would also like to see us grab one of the DTs (DE/NT) in the draft as well, and maybe a developmental T.

the odds are in your favor, but making a prediction is always tough.

I think drafting players already in the NFL is genius. Sneak attack!

That trade for Bryce when we had so much dead cap made it impossible to surround him with talent. And you could argue that we did not get much for CMC and Burns--etc. A series of questionable practices over the past 6 years has doomed this franchise. I think Morgan is realizing this

UPDATED GRAPHICS

I did not want to admit this, but it has been in the back of my head too. I am fine with it--he has improved. Sanders is going to be better in 2025, imo.
