There goes Gracen Halton. Was hoping to get him or Peter Woods as a 1 gap disruptor. Chiefs and 49ers know how to keep building their rosters. The talent evaluation keeps showing up for the top teams.

Taylen Green as a backup QB/WR. Think Kordell Stewart meets Calvin Johnson project

4th year is the charm. Teams are always holding on to a wavering QB who can't close the door on the franchise QB opportunity. Replacing the LT after 4 years. Replacing the QB with a 1st rounder next year?

There goes the RB I wanted for short yardage power depth. Kaelon Black to the 49ers to pair with CMC. Thought he would go in 4th or 5th round

If the Panthers can grab Gracen Halton in the 3rd, that DL will definitely get to the QB

Lee Hunter was my #2 impact DT behind Peter Woods. I like the pick. Wanted Woods and Rodriguez or Rodriguez and Hunter with trading down from 19. I like this pick and see it as an immediate impact. Hunter was the best available on my board at that pick too. Any chance Anthony Hill Jr or Gracen Halton fall in the draft and is available in the 3rd?

Expected the team who wanted to Rodriguez to jump up in the 2nd round. I'll never understand how the Panthers front office would trade up to get players like XL and Brooks, but Rodriguez wasn't worth it to them

Jermod McCoy headed to the Panthers if he is there? Injury project. That's what out front office likes

Out for the year and likely headed to OG if the Panthers keep him

Playmakers available and we take a high risk project OT? Boom or bust pick. Why is the Panthers front office in love with project players with 1st and 2nd round picks? I thought the Panthers made the realization with the TMac pick to go with the pro ready impact pick. Cross your fingers and hope Monroe is a boom and quick study. Complete opposite of Ekwonu with excellent athleticism and pass protection, but is below average for the league when it comes to run blocking. Monroe continues the trend with TMJ, Ekwonu, Young, Mingo, XL, Brooks, Scourton. Horn and TMac are the only pro-ready picks taken in the first 2 rounds for the past 6 drafts. Expecting more of the same in the 2nd round now. That will be 9 project picks in the last 12 core draft picks plus all the additional picks and proven players used to trade up for those projects. If you toss in the 3rd round picks, it looks even worse. How is a team suppose to compete when it keeps going with a draft strategy reserved for consistent playoff teams with a winning foundation?

Yes. It's in the production notes forever!

Panthers always seem to be the commercial break smh

The defense has their legit green dot now. Trading down for Kyle Hamilton, Devin Lloyd, or George Karlaftis and getting Zach Tom to play OT was what I wanted in 2022. Better late than never on the defensive side.

Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB. 4 6 5 4 6 4 15 2 9 4 3 5 2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5 1 4 1 3 1 1 2 3 4 [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

You don't need 2 feet down anymore when officiating can interpret the rule however they choose. Even if it means bringing back the old rule pre 2018 as the interpretation of the new rule that was meant to correct the old rule. NFL logic

Neither. Stay with Darnold, keep DJ Moore and CMC. Draft Jalen Carter, Kobie Turner in 2023. Draft Drake Maye if Darnold struggles, or Jared Verse if Darnold gets the Panthers 9 wins in 2024. Draft Tyler Shough to backup Darnold in 2025. And stay with Wilks through 2023. Get a new coach if Maye is the pick or give Wilks a defender in Verse if he wins. That's what I wanted at the end of 2022, and CJ or BY were never worth that cost. A QB with a pro pedigree that grades out in the top 20 picks isn't even worth that cost.

Sam Darnold was the 2018 QB. Not Mayfield, Allen, or Jackson. Firing Rhule was the key. Wilks, Darnold, CMC, Rico, TMac, Moore, and Coker would have gotten the job done. Toss in all the extra picks wasted on day one and day 2 project players, and the Panthers have a top defense too.

49ers wishing they had Wilks as their DC again?

NYC wanting to roll it back and give the Bills that PI in the 4th after seeing Bo Nix is out for the season. Backfired on them by giving the Broncos an INT and 2 PIs to move the Broncos into an easy FG

That's a catch if you're the Broncos, Seahawks, Patriots, or Bears

It's not over. NYC isn't allowing a blowout. They will slow the Seahawks down and favor them with 8 minutes to go in the game if they can't regain the lead by the end of the 3rd quarter

The point is if the refs go into the 4th allowing checking and hand fighting to impeded a WR when the Bills could have won the game, then they do that for the remainder of the game and own it. They set it, and can't change it for an honest competition. Bills likely win in regulation with that Cooks catch where the Denver defenders knew he lost and was pulling on his shoulder and arm to keep him from getting to the ball. We have enough fans ready for a new product that pays the best players for a fair competition at the end of the game. There are Broncos fans messaging right now that are happy to go on, but in no way wanted the NFL to interfere like that. This was happening with winning fan bases disappointed with the same interference with their wins when teams were competing to get in the playoffs. Fans don't want to win like that and have a tainted Championship trophy. Broncos fans to this day know what happened in the Panthers Broncos game and just stay quiet when they knew Manning's reputation is what led to that illegal batted ball and the catch they called incomplete to keep the Panthers from having the advantage in the game. It's sad because I love this game, but I am hating this league now. I don't know if this or a player strike is worse for a game about competition. I'd watch MMA or WWE if I wanted sports entertainment.

Everyone has to know the NFL has lost its way by now. This is a waste for a fan who wants to see a fair sports competition. The reviews were suppose to keep refs and NYC out of messing it up. Now, they just leverage it to mess games up and control them at the end to go the way they want

That kick and this game just ended the NFL as sports competition and underlined this entire season as the all in for sports entertainment by NYC. You are witnessing the NFL go full WWE

This makes the NFL 100% sports entertainment and not sports competition
