Having lost my fair share of money listening to people talk about freemans potential and picking K state, I learned 1st hand how big of a bum he is. What a waste of an NFL body, I am telling yall this kid was a waste of a 1st round pick. I was soo happy the Bucs passed on Maclin for this turd

Yea, slap Carolina in last for butchering its draft again. I've been happy with the results, don't forget about Kellen Winslow for the 2nd round pick.

Yeah, you guys burned your one first day pick on a QB who could barely manage mediocre against bad college defenses in the Big 12. Guy has serious decision making and awareness issues, never showed the ability to put his team on his shoulders and carry them and was drafted high because of physical traits.. and you traded up to do it. He's also marked as a project that will need to sit 2 or 3 years before even attempting to take on a starting role. Three quarters of your message board is freaking out worse than we did over the Delhomme extension. Oh, and your defense, especially the line, is in a bad, bad way.

I promise you I'm not trying to piss in your cornflakes, and I'm no expert, but I hated this pick for you guys.

Panthers>Saints>Falcons>Bucs

I give the Panthers the top spot because they filled two of the big three needs. In Brown, they got an explosive pass rusher who may be the best of anyone in this draft at getting to the QB. They also got an excellent cover 2 CB that has all the skills to be a very solid starting corner.

The only reason I don't have NO up with the Panthers is that they only had one pick. But I think they made the perfect choice, and give them an A+.

The Falcons did ok in the first, but I am not sold on Peria. He is not overly strong and can get pushed around in run defense. Also, he is a pretty big injury risk with significant foot, ankle, and knee problems in just about every year he has played. I think he will end up spending as much time in the trainers room as on the field. As for Moore, he doesn't have great instincts, will struggle in coverage, and is somewhat of a tweener between LB and Safety.

Finally, for the bucs, I really do not think Freeman will ever develop into a top QB. At best, he'll be a serviceable starter, IMO. I think he has great physical skills, but I do not think he has the head to match. In fact, other than his physical attributes, I don't think he has any qualities that would indicate he can or will be a quality starter.

I suppouse his relationship with Raheem Morris will not help him grow into a passer either.

Freeman doesn't need to step in and do a Peyton Manning role (Peyton sucked his first few years anyway)...

Freeman still has a shot to be the starter, which people don't realize. The guy has better arm accuracy then what people give him credit for... his stats are comparable to Stafford's stats and Freeman had a weak suppourting cast.

Freeman was in no way a reach as the Vikings and the Broncos were both ready to pull the gun and Tampa had to give up a measley 6th round pick to secure him (compare that to the Panthers giving up another first rounder for a DE that obviously slipped for a good reason)

Round 3 is yet to come and Michael Johnson is still on the board and was slated to be the Bucs #1 pick on alot of draft boards... don't be too surprised if we land him.

Peria Jerry will get pushed around alot in the NFL and I don't see him ever being a top DT anyway, not to mention he's like 25 already?

The Saints did alright I thought, least they didn't go for more offense off the bat.

Saints > Bucs > Panthers > Falcons

I was least impressed with the Jerry pick as he was a reach anyway. Tampa is atleast taking a shot on a first round possible franchise QB and the guy looks to have great potential. I hear the guy can throw the ball accuratley down the field 60 yards without setting his feet and being on the run. Thats exactly the kind of guy I want (Ben Roethlisberger physical traits)

      Cowboys Trade for Jonathan Mingo

      By PantherBoy95 · Posted

      Yeah I'm not into college as much, so I admit not to having my own opinion about him coming out. But strictly watching ESPN shows, and going off of commentary at the time..It was a lot more 50/50 even on this board than what people like to remember and admit.  Yes many people had doubts and questions, but MANY people also thought he could possibly be the one. I was only versed enough to know that it was between he and CJ, but most pundits made it sound like either way we had a QB of the future, just different skillsets/traits.

      Cowboys Trade for Jonathan Mingo

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Jonathan Mingo to the Cowboys Cowboys receive: WR Jonathan Mingo, 2025 seventh-round pick Panthers receive: 2025 fourth-round pick  Dallas Cowboys: C Leave it to Jerry Jones to wait until after Dak Prescott is injured to go after another receiver. To be fair, the Dallas Cowboys have a real need for the position. CeeDee Lamb is a superstar, but Jalen Tolbert and Brandin Cooks haven't been the needle movers that the Cowboys were hoping for. Making a trade for a receiver wasn't a bad move, but the player that the Cowboys gave up three rounds of value to acquire is questionable. Jonathan Mingo checked a lot of physical and athletic boxes as the 40th-overall pick in 2023. Unfortunately, the 6-foot-2, 220-pound wideout has struggled to be a productive receiver at the NFL level. Some of that has to do with playing for the Carolina Panthers, but Mingo has seriously lacked efficiency at the position. Mingo has yet to record his first NFL touchdown, catching 55 passes for 539 yards. Per TruMedia, he has just 0.74 yards per route run in his career, which ranks 177th out of 186 receivers with at least 50 targets since the start of the 2023 season.Even though Mingo fills a need, that's a lot of value to give up for a receiver that's struggled so much at the NFL level. The good news is that he still has a couple more years on his rookie deal, so at least the Cowboys are getting a cheap developmental project to learn from a star like Lamb. Carolina Panthers: A Instead of trying to hold onto Mingo, the Panthers took what they could get, and that turned out to be way more than expected. Mingo quickly became expendable thanks to the rapid ascension of rookie receiver Xavier Legette. Along with a larger-than-life personality, Legette has hauled in 26 catches for 244 yards and four touchdowns. Three of those touchdowns have come in the last four games, with Legette becoming more and more of a focal point in Carolina's offense. For a team that needs to capitalize as much as possible on draft assets, moving up three rounds in the draft to move on from a disappointing draft pick feels like an absolute win. https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-trade-deadline-2024-grading-every-move/
