I'll try mine out, from what I've seen:

Accuracy - B- (Have not seen solid stuff here.  Maybe 2-3 B+ throws a game, an occasional A)

Arm Strength - C- (Has not shown to be effective enough.  Honestly, Pennington tier)

Mechanics - C (Footwork is just not good and it makes for timing issues)

Elusiveness - D (When rolling, has been caught up to by DTs)

Release - B+ (It can be pretty nice/quick, even if his feet aren't set, I'll give him that)

Size - [erhhh]

Mobility/Running Ability - D

Physical Toughness - D

 

That is a lot of concerning traits to be supposedly be made up for with "composure" and being a good, high character kid. 

  

Physical toughness a D? Why?

Accuracy: A from the pocket; B- on the run.
 

See the recent graph posted here supporting Bryce’s accuracy. He’s putting it where he wants most of the time with some bad decisions in the mix. He’s sailed some I think he should hit while moving out of the pocket. Many of his incompletions are intentional throw always bc plays are dead with no chance.

Arm Strength: C+ 

I think he has adequate arm strength, but his footwork fails his arm at times.

Mechanics: D

Biggest improvement needed here imo, with emphasis on his lower half mirroring his eyes during progressions.

Elusiveness: C- in the pocket. B+ on the run. 
He’s made some nice moves in open field to evade tacklers. His movement in the pocket needs work.

Release: A

Size: F

He needs to spend this off-season prioritizing adding 10+ lbs of lean muscle.

Mobility/Running Ability: B+

See above. It seems pretty clear the coaches and Bryce don’t want him running a lot this year.

Physical Toughness: B+
 

He missed one game so far and he’s under relentless pressure. Seems pretty tough to me.

Gibbs has been pretty awesome for Detroit. People laughed at Detroit thinking they reached with their picks, but their draft is looking better and better each week. 

Branch and LaPorta had virtually no acclimation period. Transitioned perfectly and look like multi-year vets.

Branch is one of those rare alabama players i liked and he hasnt disappointed.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
