Use it for compiling and sorting data. That's it that's all.

Depends on how they're using it.

Okay, so here's my prediction. 19. Jacob Rodriguez, LB, Texas Tech 51. Jalon Green, S, South Carolina 83. Lee Hunter, DT. Texas Tech 110. Germie Bernard, WR, Alabama 158. Caden "Vanilla Gorilla" Barnett OT/OG/C Wyoming 159. Ephesians Prysock, CB, Key and Peele State U. (Washington) 200. Beau Stephens, OG, Iowa

The Sens are still a threat. Other than depth, we are pretty equal. Canes MUST get 1 of these two game in Ottawa.

Yeah im completely not buying the talk he isnt a first rounder at this point

Well they both pick after us. If Dan wants him he's probably there.

We've needed a safety like that for a long time wouldn't be mad at all

https://x.com/i/status/2046236030748250365 JRod in play for cowboys and bills in the first. Welp.

I think fans are a little higher on this guy than the NFL, good player but hes a day 2 pick

Just take JRod

This is a weird draft. I feel like, at 19, there are a lot of "3rd best" options; FS, WR, OT, ILB, Hell, even QB. If we can get a solid, long-term starter, I'm not going to bitch about it regardless of position. FWIW, I'm not sold on Sadiq at all.

If TD and Luke love him i dont need to hear anything else. If there is one player that screams Keep Pounding in this draft its JRod.

Thomas Davis was singing his praises on Smitty's channel a few weeks ago. He had Rodriguez ranked 3rd behind the 2 from Ohio State.

I'm surprised that we could find 2!

He won't be there by the time our pick comes back around in the second round. We've got to move in the first. Maybe, if the waters seem calm at the time, trade back with Buffalo and pick him then. Oh what the hell. Grab him if he's there in the first and then roll on. Take Jalon Kilgore, the safety out of SC in the second, and Lee Hunter the DT from Texas Tech in the third. And somewhere deep in the draft snag Caden Barnett "the Vanilla Gorilla" RT from Wyoming to study behind all of our linemen and set up to take over for one of them in 2027.

Also, I think Schrager has a pretty good feel on the Panthers as far as national guys go. Wouldn't surprise me if plan number one is Thieneman. McShay echoed it recently on one of his pod appereances where teams/players he felt most confident in, the 2nd one out of his mouth was Thieneman to the Panthers. If he's gone, trade down is our next favorite option IMO since we may like guys like Rodriguez and KC more than others in the supposed 19 range.

^I want that, but Rodriguez over KC. Don't hate KC as much at that spot, but rather take a WR with the pick we gain in that trade than in the 1st.

I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in. Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game. He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on. But he can also shoot you out of a game. We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes. He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more. He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though). 2) The whole team needs to be more physical. As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs. Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers. I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench. I think he'd be insane off the bench. However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game. The lack of a jump shot or anything. Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes. There has to be some sort of threat. We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges. He's just undersized. However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed. He was ok not being a focal point. I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work. 4) Miller. Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time. Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing. He's a turnover machine at bad times. Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too. 5) Kon. Just a rookie. Long season and back injury. I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused. Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby. Has to be resigned, no question. The bench lineup is rough without him running the point. Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp. They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.

I still go back to the beat writers having a read on Rodriguez IF he was in play at 19. If Dan puts his nuts on the table and takes him, pretty solid job of keeping the secrets in house.

Not a chance. Maybe, just maybe if we move back far enough.

It is if thats the guy they want.
