RB has become a position of short term production. Good teams don’t spend high draft picks on a low return position in terms of career longevity, 2nd contract price increase and replaceability.

Yep. Draft 'em, let someone else pay them their second contract. IMO you should be drafting a mid-late round RV at least every other season. It's a churn and burn position. If you have an elite athlete kid who wants to play football, make sure he isn't playing RB.

That’s fine he’s the pick, I just wish it wasn’t leaked this soon. I would have liked to be surprised on draft night. 

Well, there's always the chance that the team does something crazy right before the draft and switches at the last minute.

Nothing is certain until the card is turned in. 

As confident as I am that it will be Young, there's going to be this little speck of anxiety over " will they change their mind at the mast minute?"

True or houston could offer the farm for the pick.

This isn’t really a great 1st round. More forgiveable to swing at one of the few elite talents in Robinson than it may normally be, especially since it will probably help them be competitive this season.

on the plus side, it will keep them competitive this season and probably in QB purgatory unless Ridder does what he statistically isn’t likely to do.

I think that's the most King has typed "Carolina" or "Panthers" in a single monday morning piece in at least six years.

Was he the one who go butt hurt when cam declined an interview with him because King talked poo about cam in the past?

Sure, some people won't be surprised now. But the flip side of that coin is if it's left a surprise, half the fanbase is going to be disappointed. I'm okay with leaking it (telegraphing it , bat-signaling it, whatever degree of transparency the FO goes with) now so deniers have at 4 days to cope and at least accept it by Thursday night, so we don't have a bunch of whiners in here bringing everyone down.

So was it 7 or 15" ? The drama is killing us!

A 7.5" turd and reported only took two wipes to get clean.  His agent attributes it to a healthy diet of leafy greens and soy milk he bought Trader Joe's last Wednesday at 5:34pm.

    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
    • This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
