In large part because there's probably no one offering anything of value. If the only thing you can get in return is a conditional late rounder or something of that nature then yeah, we're probably better off just bringing him in for another camp and see if he put in the work to improve this offseason.

Seems pretty harmless after the draft. But yeah, I wouldn't want scouts and other folks involved in the process generally unaccustomed to dealing with media questions to be talking about the draft before the draft. I like it. Now we know who to praise for the picks that work out and who to cuss for the ones that don't. LOL

If this draft class works out maybe we need to start hiring the mock draft big board guys and tell the PFFers to fug off. LOL

I honestly think Tremayne looks more promising than XL.

Not sure where that AI slop came from but I don't think NFL scouts saw an athlete who finally figured it out or he wouldn't have lasted until the 7th round and the NFL banned the wedge on kickoffs nearly 20 years ago.

It wouldn't be a draft unless we pick a guy I've literally never heard of before. At least we waited until the 7th round to do it. LOL

One of the more baffling picks the Steelers have ever made. They're consistently good in large part because they don't usually do dumb poo like that.

Maybe. Hell, it should be an open competition at #2. We paid Pickett like a good backup but that dude sucks.

I wouldn't be opposed. I'm not high in him but that was considering his expectations of being a mid-round pick. Now we're in the 7th. That's completely different calculus.

It's been two seasons. It just feels like one because we're still waiting for a season's worth of production out of him despite him already having 25 starts under his belt. The big problem is that he actually looked more promising as a rookie then he did as a sophomore. Coker has similar production in the same number of seasons despite having 18 fewer starts and 59 fewer targets.. Discrepancies in opportunities created by XL being a 1st round pick and Coker being a UDFA. But the Panthers finally accepted down the stretch last year that Coker is simply a better WR, regardless of prior draft status. If Coker had been provided Xl's opportunities from the start I think he'd be viewed as one of the more promising young WRs in the league.

No one benefitted from an extra season due to COVID more than XL. This dude did nothing until his 6th season of college football when he was literally a man playing amongst boys. I mean, this dude literally went from a guy who might not have even gotten UDFA phone calls to a 1st round pick. That's crazy. For the record, I said all of this leading up to the draft when I was saying I wanted no part of him when the rumors started swirling that we were enamored with him.

I'd try to trade XL for something (anything) and it's time for coach favorite Moore to be sent packing.

Dani Dennis-Sutton has a chance to be one of those guys who everyone is saying in a few years "how the hell did this guy fall to the 4th round". I honestly didn't realize he was still available.

Tackling. I just want a legit center fielder. I don't want him tackling. I want him over the top in the deep third.

Nice. More than I expected. I'll take that. There's plenty if guys still on the board I'd be happy with and clearly the Panthers agreed.
