Some very rosy takes for a backup RB in his first NFL game versus an elite rushing defense. 

I damn sure hope that you guys are right.

I have no real expectations. I think he will play like a dude coming off an injury who hasn’t played a down of football in 53 weeks and playing in his first ever NFL game.  Needs to get hit and needs live action game contact.  I want him to get in rhythm and get comfortable with assignments. 
 

If he balls out great but in no way am I expecting some sort of breakout performance.

You are taking it out of context. I was going there because my first post wasn't negative enough.

But you are right I'm not happy Panther football wise (why would I be?). Though, I am looking forward to seeing how he does. Because he could do my first estimate or my second. 

If you take the receptions based on bad Bryce all the throws to him will be behind the LOS, and well defended. Meanwhile they are smothering our run game so nothing great there. 

 

I was just being a smart ass, sir. 

 

Sorry.

Eeeh 

 

Rookie running backs are plug and play.  

 

That said it's the #1 rush defense

Feels like they're being extremely cautious with him.

Looked like he was grabbing/scratching at one his legs after that I think total 2nd carry he got all game. Could still be a mental thing, and for some reason we completely ignored the run game almost all day even though we were keeping it close and had some decent field position

    • This is why it's probably going to be hard to trade down. This draft is fairly light on top tier talent but pretty deep in talent of that next tier down. I don't think there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up and numerous teams might be entertaining moving down. Not a good market to trade down if that's the case. 
    • And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo. 
    • I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol
