Both things were true during the stint i watched 

They're still better off with a high pick though

Lost in all of this….Chuba has his first 1000 yard season. Congrats, my man

I am not giving him a pass, I didn't like this past draft and haven't been wrong about many of the picks(Wallace perhaps). 

Just saying you can't put TMJ in his lap, he literally wasn't here.

Right. I'm just saying it is baffling that we are still drafting receivers like that and not placing a higher value on route running or hands.

Can’t believe he didn’t get to 1100. How can Bryce win with these players.

XL will be a solid WR for us, but he's def not a #1. We need "that dude". We prob could have drafted him in the 2nd or 3rd. Morgan reached at #32

There are about five WRs in the NFL at any given time who meet these mythical "#1 WR" criteria of Panthers fans. It's pretty wild considering that we're a franchise that has had all of three quality long-term WRs in the history of the franchise. Smitty, Moose, and Moore. That's the whole list.

Thielen is better than Moore

Nah he would've been gone by 40, let alone the third round. He was not a reach.

But he's not good, so that's another notch in Morgan's bust belt.

Considering they promoted from within it's really not all that surprising. I believe they made some changes to the pro-scouting department, but college scouting remains unchanged from the Fitterer days AFAIK.

Missed the game today but sounds like another case of being a few plays away. With the WR note it's actually nuts to think about the last time we DRAFTED a solid wideout...was it actually Smitty?

Yes the college scouting dept has remained unchanged despite the changes in the front office. Which is downright criminal considering our drafts the last few years.

On paper, agreed. But ultimately you can have the best scouts in the world and it doesn't matter if the actual decision maker's don't listen to them and go with their own picks instead. Good information can't overcome bad decision makers.

Davante Adams was told by Carolina the panthers were going to draft him. 

for low information fans (Bryce supporters) don’t look up that draft.

I agree. Hence why I say it seems to be an organizational thing. Spanning many years for that matter.
