First Draft Podcast-Kiper/McShay Discuss picks 11-15


TANTRIC-NINJA

Recommended Posts

A detailed breakdown of each pick with this most recent podcast going over picks 11-15.

They have the Panthers taking the usual suspects (Sheldon Richardson, Star, Tavon Austin)

What is awesome is when they speak of other options like Patterson or Vaccaro then rave about Tavon Austin in great detail and argure that he is above those two.

-Discuss Austin's coaches raving about his toughness and how he never missed practices or games with injuries. High character guy who isnt a red zone threat but will make an offense dynamic.

-Spoke of Pattersons concern for a team to have to simplify a playbook as he has little experience in Division 1 playbooks and lacks route concept understanding.

-Mcshay spoke about that he would choose Austin over Patterson bc Austin is finished product with elite playmaking skills.

Some other highlights of the podcats are the potential busts and sleepers.

Busts
- pretty much said that all picks 1-10 are scary like the 48% bust rate of DTs chosen in the top 20 picks. All the Qbs naturally.

-discussed OLB Olgletree and the serious off-field character concerns about him..and that he is a dynamic talent. Ga coaches "but his onfield character is great! WOW"

Sleepers

Andre Ellington..had a bad 40 at the combine but is explosive. Spoke about a HB in from a small school..and a DE that destroyed Alabama's tackles before tearing his ACL.

here is a link so you can hear it.

I think Tavon will be a baller but unless DEdwards signs it appears we will draft a dt for the 3 technique .I would love to see how Shula .views the Austin Cam combo.I believe in the right scheme he will account for 1500 yards per season.Very special guy as a scat back or slot receiver.He could create so many match up problems.

The DT bust rate concerns me--it has for years. It obviously scared Marty H, because he never drafted one. I would not be surprised to see us trade down and grab a NT like Jesse Williams instead of a 3 technique like Richardson.

Richardson is a scary prospect at DT to me. Love his motor, but he has never shown an ability to do much more than shoot gaps. Can he play 2 gap? Larry Warford (G, Kentucky) stonewalled Richardson.

I have also seen comparisons between Richardson and JJ Watt in terms of size, athleticism, and motor.

I do not like drafting DT in the first round, but I think we have to do so. I hope Star or Floyd falls to us, but I doubt it.

Definitley need a DT.. No question.

Honestly I think signing a Ginn, if it happens might Be a sign that WR aint happening no matter who is avail..although we have worked out quite a few..

Yea not much denying we need two DTs. I think NT could be taken in the 2nd.

I think i read the bust rate for 1st rd DTs is 48%......that is a 50% chance which is too high for me.Even the guys like Darius who are not bust seem to disappear in the NFL and are just not as dominate until they have 3 or 4 years in the league.I guess it takes that time to develop the physical and mental aspects of the game. I thought D Edwards was a steal for us and am surprised he is not a panther this year.Richardson sounds like he may be a panther

I'm just hoping we get three starters out of this draft. Not sure how likely it is... Especially if we cannot trade back and pick up a third. I know they will have their struggles and rookie learning curves but if three draft picks can come in and make an impact it'll bode well for our season.

Say we select a DT, a Guard, and a WR or Safety with our first three picks. Do you see those three being upgrades over those on our current roster and getting significant time? The first and second rounder should both be able to win starting gigs and I hope we hit on our 4th in a big way.

The 4th round pick will have to be a great one.i wonder if there is a OG that could start in the 4th?

Mcshay raves about where the Third round is the best part of the draft. I felt sad afterwards.

all depends on who you draft.

hopkins/patton/rodgers/hunter

jenkins/williams

og in the 4th.

I really hope we don't draft a dt with our 1st pick. The chances of the top dt's in this years draft class being a bust is too high for my liking. If Lane Johnson falls, we should pick him, if not, i would like to see us get Tavon Austin or Kenny Vacarro then try and get larry warford in the 2nd

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
