Id much rather take a risk that benefits the offense, than doing it for defense like we have been just about every year of our existence. It never got us any championships or back to back winning seasons. Its time to favor offense now.

Right. Keep in mind there are still good free agent EDGE options available

So it was probably BJ vs Mingo. Tough call but we were one pick away from getting Byron Young in that trade up which would have been much better received. Evero wanted an edge setter so that's never going to be exciting to fans

This ^^ they got caught thinking Young would fall to them.. And panicked when he went early..

I think they went pretty far down that offensive road to risk with the business Thursday.

I am fine that we went WR. It’s more Important to surround Bryce Young with weapons and allow him to have early success, even if we have a weakness elsewhere. 

That said, I don’t think they should have traded up because Johnson would have been there at 93. They panicked when Byron Young was taken by the Rams at 77. They probably wish they traded up to get him instead before the Rams did

not one of Scott’s finer moments

80. Carolina Panthers: D.J. Johnson, Edge, Oregon

This could qualify as a reach for the Panthers, who traded up for Johnson. The No. 21-ranked edge rusher graded as a fifth-rounder by Brugler, Johnson (6-4, 260) was an elite performer at the combine. He ran a 4.49 40 and his wingspan measured 80 inches.

At Oregon, Johnson played outside linebacker and tight end until the 2022 season when had six sacks. He had 39 tackles last year as an honorable mention selection. He’s athletic but unrefined. It’s a reach at this point of the draft.

Grade: D+

When's the last time we drafted a pass rusher after R1 that was actually a good starter?

Well, there’s been Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy, and KK Short just off the top of my head. It’s possible, but like the whole draft, it’s a crap shoot.

This just feels like the Panthers special where we get a defensive dude and they just end up derping around never to see the field. It just feels like we may only get a year or two at most of his rookie contract where he's ready to even contribute as a depth player, he's that raw. Once he's ready for a new deal he will be 29 and possibly lost some juice. I really hope I'm wrong, but the fact he has all this talent and wasn't able to put it together and have any production in the Pac 12 isn't really reassuring. Either way we'll all be rooting for him.

      They gave him franchise QB money. Sorry but if you don't earn it you can be embarrassed.   He's rich he can take it. Stop feeling sorry for people who can't live up to their contract. This isn't a sport to be soft. Daniels deserves to give back some of that money he stole if you ask me.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And it was coming off of a bye week. Perhaps he should vacation a bit in Germany in the off season, something certainly seemed to help him there.  No, really... He showed maturation and the possibility that he's turning a corner. That wasn't the NY Giants out there, but the back to back Super Bowl champions with the #3 defense in the league, with them coming off of a prime time loss. And that was a 9-1 team we just played literally down to the last second. Bryce played so well that maybe, maybe he wins over some nay-sayers. It's still early, though, but what a nice breath of fresh air that was. You can win quite a few games if that is your normal performance. It is obvious that we are still on the learning curve, though. But that was one helluva test he just took. Some of these QBs coming out of college just don't have a lot of games under their belts, especially in top end programs. They are perhaps just a year to two years behind center in games that matter before they move up. It can take them some time to hit their stride. We can still be cautious about our future and still celebrate a great game by the kid, though, and we should. He earned the laurels today, or had before they were snatched away at the last second.
