Pretty much what @MHS831 said… The WR pick cost us a starting edge in the draft..

And I am fine with that, just dont give up assets to get a 24 year old project when there are still good players on the board at other positions

Just a reminder.. there is  a group of professionals that have been researching, grading, and talking over 1,000 prospects since last fall. If the FO has conviction on him then I trust them.

and that goes to show you even those professionals panic and make mistakes under pressure

Pick should have been edge round 2, tight end round 3. WR isn’t as much of a need with offseason signings. Plus a rookie WR isn’t gonna do much to help a rookie QB. Don’t like the pick based on need and value. 

damn, tepper did you see this? hire him immediately as the head of our scouting dept!

This is the classic 2nd/3rd round Panthers pick where they just set a draft pick on fire for no reason.

Drafting mid 20s players that aren't ready to start day 1 is a huge waste. Even if he develops amazingly he'll be near 30 years old

You have no idea what is a mistake and what isn’t until a couple years gtfo with that. The Johnson move was bizarre but the poor dude was only a LB for one season

There is no way he’s starting.. Get ready for YGM because this guy is rotational at best.. It’s okay to be optimistic but don’t go overboard..

YGM isn’t starting. He’s an outcast. Horrible position fit. Frankie or Haynes there.

When the consensus on here, the consensus of the draft people pretty much say it was a bad trade and pick coupled with Kayes tweet I am pretty goddamn confident that this was a mistake

While the board and Kaye is sucking off BJ Ojulari, compare his stats to Johnson’s for last year. Dude isn’t a blue goose either. Byron Young is also 25 and was an assistant manager at Dollar General at one point. Where is the can’t miss edge rusher we made a mistake and missed on?

I have the slightest bit of hope because of Everos face when it happened. That was one happy man.

Everos obviously has been following Johnson closely and is the reason he’s here.

I’m really trying not to pile on a consensus of criticizing the pick before I’ve seen the guy play, but it is frustrating to think we came out of last night without a player that will plug a gap from day 1. Those guys were available and we didn’t come away with any of them. 
 

now I feel like I’m asking a lot of this 4th round pick just to hopefully provide a guy who can compete for a starting spot while the 2nd and 3rd rounders develop.
