I have no earthly clue why people want to keep drafting the same type of wr repeatedly and expect a different result on the field. 

How about drafting a dude with legitimate speed and separation with legitimate college production instead of protecting big lumbering dudes to be the next dk Metcalf??

This is why my favorite wr are Troy Franklin and Xavier Worthy

On the bigger side I wouldn't mind Keon. Or even Sanders at TE.

But at 33 it'll have to be between Ladd, AD, Worthy, and Franklin. I'd still add Leggette. Man ran a 4.3 but he's not as shifty...

Or wait until later...

Corley... don't sleep.

Isn’t that the dilemma, though?  Are we drafting to give Bryce ‘weapons’ and help him succeed, or to build the best damn team roster to set us up for years to come.  BPA if it’s the later but, I fear we are drafting, in part, to make Bryce successful and prove he isn’t a bust.

Bryce is a major bust but Teppers wife won’t agree. Passing on Wilson will be like us not taking shroud.

That’s the dilemma though. If Bryce is not successful, the Panthers aren’t successful. And we’ve invested too much already to help him succeed. It wouldn’t make sense to invest all that on blocking but not other players that would fit what our QB does well.

I like AD but I doubt he makes it to 33.  Worthy is fast but VERY small.  Honest question, who was the last Pac12 WR to make a big impact?  Addison comes to mind, but he was producing with Pitt before he transferred...  I feel like that division airs it out with no defense so the WRs look great.  That kind of concerns me with Troy Franklin, but I would be on board if we draft him.  His measurables look great.

My concerns are that Leggette seems like a carbon copy of Mingo on paper and Wilson's laundry list of injury history. He's a helluva LB but availability can be just as vital as playing ability as we see with Horn.

"On paper" really doesn't equate to anything except possibly measurables, and a lot of receivers and players in general have the same measurables. That's not what makes or breaks a player. 

I just thought I'd state that since so many people want to equate Mingo and Legette. SMH

I wouldn’t hate the idea, I would also be on with a double up at WR or a Center. 

I don't understand the double up at WR crowd.

 

Are people just not high on Diontae Johnson?

 

This guys is one of the best WR's at creating seperation. He's had a 1000 yard season a few years ago and he's still in his prime. We already upraded from Thielen. And we still have to work Mingo in the mix.

 

I think 1 WR is enough considering we have other holes to fill. If the Johnson trade didn't happen I could see the case for doubling up at WR, but we still have to figure out what we have in Mingo.

Johnson is on the last year of his deal, we need to plan for a possible life without him.

Because those guys just as easily turn out to be John Ross and Jacoby Ford. 

 

Catching is just as important as separating.

I'm actually expecting him to be our #1 WR moving forward. He's literally the perfect WR you need for a QB like Bryce. He gets open and Bryce gets the ball out of his hands quickly.

 

I'm expecting him to be a pro bowl WR for us.

That's kinda what people do with draft prospects though, talk about NFL comps.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
