The Bain disrespect here is really something. He was obviously not near 100% last year but still disruptive. There's no reason think back healthy he won't produce like his freshman year and likely better.

I gotta tell ya this place and the lack of any gray area thinking is wild

We haven’t had a DL in the Top 10 in 35 years. A pure DE what since the 70s?

You can like Bain and think mocking him at #7 after an injury plagued season is crazy without it being “disrespect”

It goes beyond questioning some way too early ESPN ranking. A lot of talk lately about him being a "bust." Which is ludicrous.

There’s people here that say ridiculous things because they’re trolling or stupid.

Theres people that say we will be better with Beck over the guy that was so unanimously the best player in the draft they didn’t even talk about him

Not much you can do with that

If Bain is a first round pick than that means this season went a lot better than I anticipated.

Tbh I’d be more surprised if he was a first round pick in the 2026 draft than if he returned for his senior year

That’s not a knock oh him at all but with NIL, him basically losing an entire season, lacking freakish measurables etc I could see him sticking around and collecting a hefty payday for a senior year

Well we CAN be better then last yr with Beck at QB but it won’t be because he’s a Superior QB to Cam Ward

Agreed. I’m talking specifically about the people that have said we will be a better offense because Beck doesn’t play hero ball and will “keep us on time”

A better balanced team + Dawson doing his thing (hopefully) and we could certainly be a better team overall

That’s how most normal people feel I think so there’s always a couple people that talk crazy I don’t like to use them as examples

Man y'all writing off Francis too easily. He's 100% going top 15, likely top 10. A 3 year starter at RT who has improved dramatically each year. Don't forget he's a special athlete and can do rare things physically that only the top guys can do. He'll get comparisons to Penei Sewell all draft cycle which Mario will sell as well. My guess is he ends up going top 5 when it's all said and done.

Bain however, is more likely to go round 2 than top 10 imo. Having Bain at 7 is kind of crazy, you don't go top 10, unless you are a freak athlete or have size. He has neither. I love Bain and hope he can stay healthy but he's kind of a tweener in the NFL.

Great to see Canes getting love though! Big year for these guys.

He's more than likely going top 5 if he simply shows progression again & stays healthy. From year 1 to last year was markedly improved. Shows that again this year and you combine it as you pointed out with what he's gonna test out like at combine sky is the limit. Kids a freak athlete to be his size.

Good post. I do think Bain can easily be a late round 1 guy if he returns to freshman form and has a uptick in production.

Ah. Don't know him off the top of my head. Everyone and there mother seems to have a platform for their opinions. 9 out of 10 of them don't amuse me. If it wasn't posted on here I never would've seen it.

Can you please point that out? I’m not saying no one has said that, there are plenty of morons on this board.

However, in this thread, I haven’t seen anyone get anywhere near “disrespect” and definitely no one has called him a bust in this thread.
