Hell no! I don't trust anyone who doesn't eat Dukes!

Hopefully Ransom continues to develop, but he fits the mold of SS more than FS anyway. I wouldn't mind spending a draft pick on FS if the right guy is available. Certainly after round 3.

Re-signing Nijman is a good idea even if we go OT at 19. He's adequate and knows th schemes already. Would be a nice veteran presense. At ILB, I really like Deonte Lawson from AL, but he likely goes before 51 and would likely be a reach at 19.

I have the same with Sam Hecht, C Kansas State, rounding out the top 3 at 83.

I think we bring in vets at WR and Edge, re-sign Rozeboom & Mays (and/or Corbett) for depth, and draft OT, ILB, and C in the first 3 rounds (as long as there's someone available who isn't too much of a reach) .

It WAS OT. For some reason I couldn't paste it, but Juan posted the link to the full article.

This guy is a baller! You can tell by how he dissects plays. Already really liked him, but now I'm loving him! Smart, humble, all around good guy...reminds me of me, LOL. take aways: Give Bryce a ton of credit. Like a lot. When asked about his contract. "I'm not going anywhere. I want to play for this team for as long as I can." YIPPEE! Gave love to TMac, Horn, Tremayne, even Hunter and Theilen. ONE NAME CONVEINENTLY LEFT OFF THE LIST.

and Hell, we lock him in for 5 years on a rookie contract and let him test the market at 31. Plenty of productive edge rushers still getting it done at that age.

And THEN... in the 2nd round, he has us picking Logan Jones, center from Iowa that most have going in rounds 4-6. I like the idea of drafting a center since we have so much cash tied up in our o-line, but is this really the right choice??? And let's not forget that we traded away our 3rd for Bain.

That's not the argument, though. This was: "All we had to do was roll with Darnold 1 more year and Maye was ours." That is what I said, and stand corrected. Had we kept Darnold, it's doubtful that we'd be picking 3rd without trading up. Without a trade we're likely looking at Bo Nix as a consolation prize.

You called it. All we had to do was roll with Darnold 1 more year and Maye was ours. Now both are in he SB.

I'm glad that I read the OTHER Tmac thread first because Dez is funny AF.

I love that the girl on the couch appears to be asking the other guy "Is he black?"

Nice clip, the guy definitely says all the right things. He has gotten better every season, though not fast enough for my liking. For sure rooting for the man because where he goes, so do the Panthers.

We were discussing Lomu, who Zierlein has going 24th in this mock. It's very unlikely that Fano or Maulgoa make it to us without a major redflag popping up in the next few months.

Hmmm, he should be available on a short-term, low cap hit contract coming off an injury that sidelined him for a year and a half. Maybe with incentives if he plays a high percentage. I still would recommend re-signing Nijman as a safety blanket.

I know that it is wwaaaaay early for mock drafts but a quick ask google says that this guy doesn't make it to 27, we likely have him in play at 19. I'll take a technically sound pass blocker over a behemoth mauler any day. "Projection: Late first round (approx. 16th-23rd overall)"

I wouldn't be upset with QB TE if I'm being honest. Obviously depends on the player and I have no idea who'd be sitting there at 19 and 51. I'm not sold on Bryce or Sanders , Tremble is average, Evans doesn't have enough playtime to judge yet.

Mad respect for the firefly (actually Serenity) gif!

so...he's essentially already on a 2 year $8M (ish) contract with only $1.1M guaranteed?? $1.1 URFA in 2026 and $7M in 2027 RFA with a 1st round tender, if I'm understanding things correctly. We have more leverage than I thought.

You sir are making a lot of sense to me! People acting like turning down $15 - $20M is easy. Best case for him would be a 2 year deal for $12M-$15M. If I'm the Panthers, I'm pushing for a 3-4 year deal at those rates. Interesting to see how it plays out.
