dumb question but I don't know the answer: What is an "informal meeting" (aside from what it means literally) and what makes it different from "formal meeting?" I don't know how to ask the question--but I guess I am wondering why an informal meeting is news, or if they were really interested, why not a formal meeting?

Id rather trade Wharton

Until he hit that slump, my argument was stronger. I can say that the Bama Bump is perhaps not as substantial as it was before--but your points are valid. My point is based on a strong throwing performance at the combine--which is not more important than the film. if he throws well, I will bet that he goes in round 1.

Yes. I really like the group--Dillion Thieneman (ore) is a player I would consider in the first round (QB for the DBs), later? Bud Clark (TCU), Taafe (Texas), and McNeil-Warren (Toledo). I know many of us are thinking Edge, LB, or OT in round 1 but we could eliminate or reduce those needs in free agency I still like Golday (LB, Cincinnati) but I think Kyle Louis is pretty awesome looking--I think he is a bit short, but beason and Mills were a bit short too. (Beason is listed at 6 feet, Mills was a few inches shorter).

I don’t know who this person is and this is speculation on her part, but I have a feeling they will do what she is saying. If they have to keep getting players around Bryce, how good is he? Focusing on offense when we lack so much on defense would be an awful decision by the FO. Not saying offense should be ignored, I’m all for getting better players, but this defense is in dire need of pass rush and LB help before another pass catcher is added.

But does he have great anticipation?

I like him too. Seems like the deal is structured for this to happen though, looks like it was always a 2 year deal and he probably knew that going in.

This is really the perfect draft for defense.

The D line is really a sorry excuse bar our Pro Bowler. How can we go from Star and Short to whatever this is. Hope we really look to upgrade it even if it’s at #19.

The common theme is they are all fast.

Absolutely not

This class of defensive backs are all track stars.

See if Dallas would bite to move up 1 pick for like a 4th round pick.

Your doing great work mate very much appreciated

We need another DE in the worst way possible.

He would drop based on the reason everyone else in here is saying. Running backs aren't valuable and you shouldn't take them in the first. I do think that mindset is changing. Your seeing guys like Jenty Gibbs, Bijaun and Hampton prove their worth. But not everyone is ready to accept that change. This dropping his value

Sums up what my response was gonna be. LOL

Give the excellent Tony Pauline a follow here: https://www.essentiallysports.com/author/tony-pauline/

I don’t know how real his enthusiasm is but I think he is on board. I would hope this year at least has a high bar attached for Bryce. I want to tell myself that this QB shuffle they may be doing opens the door for change but we don’t know what that will look like right now.

Anyone know who the Panthers met with today?

Your point about D. Brown never leaving the field is valid----I see Cam Jackson and Bobby Brown III as the NTs and Wharton and D. Brown as the other DTs. Wharton is safe through this season, but looks like he will be cut in 2027 should his play not drastically improve. Yikes!!! not much better, but for much less $$$ and then there is Derrick, who is really the only DT worthy of starting: While we have bodies, and Wharton could step up and Jackson and Brown III could improve--but in my mind, right now, we have an overpaid, undersized DT in addition to Derrick. Jackson and Brown III are big bodies. Depends on what we want to do up front.

Did they come out and say they don't trust him over the middle of the field?

The last week of gambling for me has been that scene from Narcos where Escobar is just tossing money into a fireplace.
