I have a 4 leg parlay Man City, athletico madrid inter milan, Bayern. Off a nice free bet from fan duel Any college basketball you like today?

Good start to the morning.

I like the DL/Edge and ILB class. I think I like Parker from Clemson the most cause he reminds me of Hendrickson and they had similar college production. The ILBs I could go with any of Allen, Hill Jr., Rodriguez, and Volday and walk away happy. However, I’d be happy if other skill positions fall to us at #19 BPA if a Lemon or Tyson fell for whatever reason because they are playmakers which our team is desperately in short of in whatever shape or form.

You hit the nail on the head when you mentioned intelligence--we have 3 primary needs at positions where intelligence is very important (FS C, LB). It made me re-think things. Smart players make others around them better and they anticipate mistakes. Everyone is good--great is where you have to be.

last year, he shouted for Kevin Greene to go in for Rucker. It was the right decision, wrong time.

Get the smartest players at ILB, S and C. They can have immediate and lasting impacts, plus they can elevate the play of those around them, moving the powerful pieces around the chessboard more effectively.

Alright. For all of you folks who follow closely, and with the Combine wrapping soon, who will be our likely/realistic targets in the 1st three rounds? And how does FA affect what we do on draft day. Thanks!!!

You said "HISTORY". And now following that up by saying there are 7 scenarios where a team is better than Charlotte. Let's just watch how the season plays out and can argue it then. Enjoy.

Hope this bumps Sadiq top 15. Maybe the Bucs take him.

Great info overall. This part, though, I had missed this guy. Could we go with another smaller, smarter LB? I mean, we had the best one of all time once before... Could lightning strike twice? Sure would be nice. Could we grab ILB in the second and third rounds? We really, really could use some strength and smarts there.

We said that last year

Let’s see if the boys get to 5 wins in a row!

And that is where we are. Impasse. edit: just hoping if that is the reality when this year unfolds, we don’t sign up for more money and more years of the same.

We know that isn’t going to happen.

Problem is Bryce has no strengths. He, at best is a middle of the road QB. 65 rating on Madden and such.

based on Cam's recent story on his podcast, it's a free-for-all after the evening room check

Hey friend, we both know there are no winners or losers until the draft is about 3 years old. We all pound the table like we have the answers , but if we went back and read our comments from 2021--we'd have to change our usernames to save face!! RBs are devalued, so you could get the best bang for your buck by taking a talent like Love.

It seems the needs for the Panthers are at positions that tend to require intelligence to lift others--going from "good to great"--FS, ILB, and C--as you say. While i like Rodriguez a lot (can see the Hurricanes [Jarvis] and Panthers with a mustache player to get the fans into it)--I also like Golday (WLB?). However, take a look at smallish Kyle Louis (Pitt). He is known to be cerebral, but he is small (5'11" I think) and for that, I moved him lower. But look at the different LB events at the combine--he is near the top in most of them. I see him as a sleeper. So if we wait until the second round, we can get a solid LB. So what if we grab a free agent edge specialist (veteran) for pass situations and help develop Princely. We draft FS (Oregon) first--maybe trading back to do so--I dunno. We sign a free agent ILB and draft a rookie like Rodriguez or Louis. In the third, we could probably find a center, like (former OT Parker from Duke) or Slaughter or Pew (may have to trade up). So, as you say, others are fighting for Edge players, WRs, and OTs early like seagulls on the beach fighting over spilled corn chips, We sit back, grab intelligent players that make others better. FS, ILB, and C. OT scares me more that Edge if we do this--but for those screaming for an edge--we have edge players--2 with starting experience who have had some degree of success. JC Davis can play either T spot and he is good at pass blocking--a bit raw--but could be developmental depth that could play in a pinch. Or you could draft a solid OT with shorter arms that are driving them down into day 3--and convert them to G or C later. Nijman and BC being re-signed could provide enough to hold down the job until a developmental OT (World, Oregon?) prepares for a shot at it. Wagner (ND) could play LT but is probably a future RT--he is expected to be drafted early day 3. My favorite day 3 OT sleeper? Keagan Trost, Missouri. Great run blocker, soild pass blocker in SEC--just shorter arms. Maybe a guard down the road, but for the time being, a T. Not ideal, but at least you are building for the future.

I'm not like most people in this thread in regards to Love. I'm not like most in regards to RBs either. I think certain ones will always be drafted in the first round because they are valued that highly. From an on-the-field perspective, they are as valued as ever; business-wise and contract-wise at times to re-up, that's where things can get tricky with valuation. That being said, Love oozes potential and makes higher-ups' mouths water. I know that he if somehow he is available at 19, he will be considered if not taken. You don't leave that type of talent on the board unless there is another compelling player of arguably equal or more value at another position of need that may have a higher priority (like maybe Sonny Styles). Now all that being said, I don't realistically see either one of them being there at 19 according to the draftniks.
