The Bears are having a smart draft...as are the Jets.

That's what she said!

Ya gotta love day three...

Yeah, that's it. Now I remember why I moved on...LOL.

Two to four quality players (including two starters) is a damned good draft. More than that is out of this world. Let's keep our expectations in fitting with reality. I think Dan is safe.

I can't remember what Genesis Smith needs to work on. He was either great in coverage or great against the run, but not both iirc

We met with him during the Senior Bowl, I believe. We definitely met with him.

Well...perhaps you do have a problem with reading comprehension? That's tough.

Well, someone is trying to get ahead of the Panthers...

I mean, Legette still has some exciting measurables. Of course he hasn't helped himself actually on the field...

Why? What's so great about the kid?

During the Colts selection period they were playing a variation of BO7 in the background.

What in the world are you going on about now? If I thought Brazzell was a bust, I'd have said so. In case you forgot your glasses, what I said is that he's going to have to put in a lot of work refining his routes, expanding his route tree and bulking up to be able to handle the press on a pro level. What I said is that I don't see him as a slot guy which is what I thought we were going to draft. I'll leave the extreme foolishness to you. BPA FTW!

The only way I think he's traded is if we draft another receiver, and we all know that the situationally receiver-averse Huddlers don't want us drafting any more receivers.

Morgan obviously didn't want to get Howie Rosemanned, that's the simplest and truest reason for the trade-up. It's not at all hard to understand.

I mean, he was over 90 percent on the boundary at Tulane as well, but he did run on the left a little more than half of the time, so at least we know that he's not limited to the right as all Matt Harmon seemed to talk about. He still didn't do much slot work at all. There isn't any specific info about specific routes, motion or nuance, and that's where we really have to pivot back to scouting profiles. But you can imagine that boundary receivers are going to basically be used for "go" routes.

I love this post.

I mean, I didn't really like it for us, not only because of Tennessee's WR factory (yeah, not in the sense that everybody uses the term), but because it's not what I envisioned. I wanted a twitchy slot guy with a quick release off the line. We got an unpolished "alien" that our coaches, whom I'm somewhat skeptical about, are supposed to develop. But--and I say this sincerely--within a vacuum the pick is kinda growing on me.

You remember correctly. This guy isn't Funchess. I mean, they're both tall.

He fixed his hands by going from a 17+ drop rate percentage in 2024 to a 3+ percent drop rate in 2025, and can at least run legit vertical routes (provided that he isn't jammed at the line). Hey, lifting weights and adding strength is a real thing. The kid has potential, but will just need to put in work.

I just hope Brazzell can meet 75 percent of his upside. That Georgia game was special. He liked to beat my Dawgs by himself.

Hell, Hollywood, Cooks and MVS can keep safeties honest. This dude is basically 6'4 with a large wingspan and 4.3 speed. Him mastering his craft is what's going to make him a worthwhile pick. We need him to refine his skills, expand his tree and bulk up.

If Morgan is honest, TE by committee hasn't been optimal. It's been too long since a legit TE has been in Charlotte. This is a position that has not been adequately addressed since before Dan was the GM.

That's encouraging, but, like I said, we need more Georgia-game. That's the goal. The Georgia game (especially that one catch) is the one that's highlighted. That's the one everyone has posted and the one on replay. He hasn't done that with consistency, so there's the assignment. I think that patience is going to play a big part in his success or failure as a Panther. Flashes will be my expectation this season.
