Thank the stupid GM's

I'm surprised that so many GM's are plain stupid. We should be thankful that we got Star, but people made a lot of stupid picks.

Jets chose Richardson when Star and Jones were on the board. Chicago panicked and could have gotten Watson or the Kentucky guard, both them are a lot better than Long. Browns and Mingo - just LOL. A lot of potential, but what a disappointing college career. He's has a high bust ratio and Dion Jordan too. He hasn't done anything in college. He was third of his team in tackles for loss. I rather pick players on their tape/play than on unfulfilled potential. (Cam had both). Even the Giants panicked with their Pugh pick. He isn't a first round player and they had a lot of holes in their defense. Jerry Jones is going to be Jerry Jones.

Lets hope that the stupidity continues.

i wouldn't call it stupidity. it's not like this draft is filled with top tier stand out players. overall most of the talent is on a pretty equal level. it boils down to which player best fits what you're looking for. for example, richardson is a better fit than star for the jets because they flat outright lack a pash rush. star isn't a pass rusher. star is a space eating run stopping double team commanding anchor...exactly what the panthers need to free up their pass rushers.

As to Jordan + Mingo, did you see Bruce Irvin play in the NFL? that's what they're trying to reenact.

Irvin is a good player, but nothing special. He produced a lot better and more in college than Jordan and Mingo. Jordan ticks off all the boxes psychically, but he didn't really produce. Mingo was an big underachiever at LSU. Why would you gamble on a player who wasted his talent in college to be reliable playmaker in the NFL? Mike Lombardi is an idiot.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
