there’s a substantial hole at DT but in a class full of inside nose guys I think we may see them leaning towards the 2nd round, potentially with a move up the board to get their guy there. i don’t think center gets touched until at least round three but probably round 4. its a deep position group there and I think they like the idea of an open competition between Samac, Fortner, and a mid round pick or two. if all that holds true then I’ll assume TE, OT, and DB to be the rooms they’re potentially looking at in round 1.

Believe me, I want Scott starting like I want a kick in the nuts, but who's available that's better? Kyle Dugger and Donovan Wilson are SS. Jamie Ward and Harrison Smith are 35 and 37. We could bring back Xavier Woods but that didn't go so well last time. The FA market is dry! That's why I think we actually go against our aversion this year and draft a FS on day 1 or 2. Unless they think Ransom can make the switch from SS to FS in year 2 but I don't really think that's the answer either.

We need a NT and another DT to play alongside DB. Id also be okay with TE if its truly someone that can contribute.

Nick Scott isn't the best they can do. He's a decent backup but they need to upgrade there. This team seems to have a historical aversion to a ballhawking safety.

Uefa today.

I was going to reply similarly to @MHS831. A week ago we pretty much HAD to go OT at 19, but DMo has set us up to literally work from our big board. If the right guy at OT, DT, CB, FS, ILB, TE falls, we can grab them and keep on truckin. I would argue that the only 2 starters from last year that still need upgrading (other than QB...Bryce is our guy in 2026 for better or worse - that has been discussed ad nauseum for 4 years) are Scott and a Wallace. Wharton could be on that list as well but I agree with you that Lloyd and Phillips instantly make him better. OT and CB are on the list because we need to be looking at 2027 and beyond. I do think we get a pass-catching TE an speedster WR, but not in rounds 1 or 2.

Ashawn was our 2nd best DL and played a lot of nose tackle for us last year. It’s a guarantee we spend an early pick on DT.

I am sure famous people and athletes have "agreements" with their spouses.

I think it's a good move for a couple off reasons. Punting was an area we had no worries with last season. The guy could put the ball right where it needed to be and he was excellent at getting them inside the 20, 15, 10, 5... whatever we needed. But the other factor is his relationship with our young kicker. He wasn't just the punter, but also the holder on field goal attempts and his veteran skills there may have helped turn out UDFA into a kid that is going to be fantastic for us in the coming years. Plus, man, I'm always going to be in favor of App State players.

I wish I had more. This team looks unwatchable at times. I think last years team was better. Miller stinks and Boom making rookie mistake after mistake couple that with Slavin not playing well, man it’s going to cost someone a job. Face it, Miller was a bad trade, should have just kept Burns.

Worst game of the year. Bussi seems lost. Blue line is a total dumpster fire. Canes seem to be having more and more of these games. they gotta figure out a way to get a win tonight. I just don’t see this as a cup team with Tulksy making no moves.

I think more famous people/athletes cheat simply because they have more opportunity. Most of us don't have women coming on to us on a regular basis, but we don't really know how we would react if we did. I am not excusing those who do cheat, and they deserve to suffer the conseequences. But most of us don't know with absolute certaintity what we might do in that situation. I know that early in my marriage, I had a couple of opportunities, but I turned it down, mainly because it was wrong and I wouldn't want to risk putting my family thru that kind of thing. But if I was wealthy and famous, and had women coming on to me on a regular basis, I am not sure what might happen. I think I would resist the tempation, but we never know for certain. And fortunately, I never will know.

Yeap, it has nothing to do with how good the wife is.

I still think the ILB group in round 2 will be too good to pass up and we need to grab one there, but agreed on OT and DL being the biggest needs/should almost always be our biggest needs when it comes to the draft. Gettleman screwed a lot up and couldn't pick talent worth a damn, but philosophically he was always right. Hog Mollies win games.

Coach of the year is Lee's to lose. Team chemistry is unreal rn. I think LaMelo's lobs to Brandon are even better than the prime AirBnB days with Miles

This might be the year a Clemson alumni gets drafted by the Carolina Panthers….

This move is more important than phillips

Prenup won’t protect against third party claims like this one but in general I agree with you.

Good thought and I agree. Nothing about this process compromises that premise. In fact, the process involves meeting more needs so you can do that. If I can get an Edge on a rookie contract when my biggest need is LB, then I have enough $$ saved on the overall cap to get an elite rookie edge in the draft and sign a veteran LB in free agency. If I draft the LB first, my biggest need, then my savings against the cap (when looking at the 53-man roster) is minimal. I have not saved enough $$ to sign the edge in free agency, so I have to try to draft the edge later, getting a lesser player. Even if you draft an edge and the roster is full of them, you have trade capital because a lot of teams need a good edge. This lends credence to the BPA theory if it is aligned with positions that are expensive on second contracts. In the cap era, you have to think it through-it is like a puzzle. That is why I did not like it when Marty was drafting RBs (Willliams and Stewart) in the first round. If you recall, that necessitated moving up for Otah, trading away next year's first rounder to do so. That is the draft we really needed an edge, but since we did not have a first rounder, we took Everette Brown to fill that need. Then it got worse. We had 2 RBs on second contracts, Brown busted, that led to drafting Clausen, etc. If you can get 2 starters for the price of one, that is what I would call smart--not overthinking, if I understand you. I do agree, but that does not mean draft your trench players first. It could mean draft an edge and use the cap savings to sign a trench player.

The DLine needs to do its job too - currently I only trust Brown to do that.
