TMJ and Chark were terrible.

It not the scouts.  It's who makes the decisions on who to draft. 

They get their information from the scouts. If the scouts are pushing x dude over y dude then that’s the info the GM has. 
 

im pretty sure and correct me if im wrong but the scouting department has pretty much stayed in tact across multiple GMs no? When Hurney got fired didn’t Gettleman keep the scouts? And then Hurney came back keeping the same staff. 
 

Did Fitterer clean house after he took over from Hurney 2.0? If not then I’m even more convinced it’s a scouting issue.

TMJ has been a disappointment and should have been cut already.  Chark hasn't been worth our time or wasn't part of whatever plan they had based on his usage. Neither should be part of the future but may be necessary to keep due to lack of options available in the offseason. Both should be replaced at the earliest opportunity. I would take my chances with UDFA's over both of them.

Scouts don't push anyone.  They just present their ranking based on what the team is looking for. Fitterer still chose who he wanted. If the scouts made the selection then what did they need Fitterer for?

One of the things that I’m hopeful about is Canales and Brad Idzik and their backgrounds as WR coaches. 
 

hopefully they can get some rookies and turn them into studs and hopefully fix Mingo.

This isn’t just isolated to Fitterer. It has been a historical problem dating back to Hurney.

For all those that want to dump Thielen, he is number 5 on this list. Tell me again why we should cut him loose.  He is Ricky Proehl 2.0, and unless you have someone else to fill the ‘move the chains on third down’ role, he has a spot on the roster this upcoming season.

Most of the ire at Thielen came from him not being a true #1. Well, no poo. He was signed to be the slot receiver and a second if not third tier target. It's not Thielen's fault that everyone else sucked. He excelled beyond expectations in his role.

 It's baffling that we STILL suck this hard at drafting receivers in an age where the default offense for lots of high schools and the majority of d1 football are gun heavy spread offenses that utilize 4+ passcatchers. There are far more wrs being churned out nowadays than ever before and yet we are still utterly useless at identifying them.

I think he’d be worth a late rounder at least - 6th or 7th. He’s still young with good size and athleticism. He’s still on his rookie deal. The problem is between his ears IMO. Maybe a change of scenery is needed. 

We gave him the go ahead to find a trade last year and it didnt happen.  No one is going to give anything up for him I dont think.

Tepper should use his massive wallet to try to steal the Steelers' WR scouts/coaches away from them

I mean this honestly isn’t a bad idea. Obviously we can’t overhaul the scouting dept this close to the draft but after? I’d start poaching scouts from the 9ers, ravens, Packers, Steelers, and maybe Detroit and build out a competent scouting department.

Its because we never draft man beater wide receivers.  We always try to draft physical receivers who are big and strong.  If a receiver is making a lot of contested catches in college then they most likely aren't going to work in the NFL because if you cant create seperation in college then you are screwed in the nfl where everyone is stronger and faster

      Reason for Liking or Disliking Prospect X at 8 Overall

      By AceBoogie · Posted

      You need a WR that is THE guy. There’s only guy in this draft who can be that. You must continue to invest in the investment you made in Bryce.

      Try to trade back, but in order of preference... Mason Graham, DL, Michigan - Possibly the top DT in the draft Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State - TE1 plus clear top 10 talent in this draft class that fills a need. Can block, open up things underneath, run after the catch, and run the seam. Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College - My favourite EDGE prospect to have scouted this offseason outside of 2023 JT Tuimoloau and 2024 Abdul Carter. Let him rotate behind Clowney/Wonnum and then potentially start on the weakside. Jalon Walker, LB/EDGE, Georgia - Would fit Evero's scheme insanely well and pair well with Wallace who could be the coverage LB while Walker is the guy that the QB has to guess if he's coming or not. Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State - Will immediately fill in for AT once he's gone (or if he goes down) and is able to run a large portion of the route tree. Malaki Starks, S, Georgia - His freshman + sophomore tape is elite and he'd immediately start as FS1. Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia - Loooooooong arms and other traits that gives him the prototypical build that scouts loves. Also showed elite tape as a freshman as a 3-4 OLB, showed out well as a sophomore, but his recent season he played with an injured ankle all season long. Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M - Insane measurables, solid pressure rate, good run stopper, but there's questions galore about that pressure to 4.5 sacks rate. Will Johnson, CB, Michigan - Mike Jackson's deal allows him to be cut after just one season if the Panthers find a partner to put across from Jaycee Horn. James Pearce Jr, EDGE, Tennessee - Lots of questions due to recent reports regarding character and coachability, but performed against top SEC talent at a position of need for the Panthers. Armand Membou, OT, Missouri - Word is that Moton's knee is done and the Panthers need to find an RT for life afterwards. The preferred method would be to bring in a guy to develop behind Moton for a season, but having Membou means having a big body that can plug in right away should Moton go down. This would leave Christensen to take over at any other spot on the line should there be another injury.
