Man... don't get my hopes up, Dan. I would LOVE to see this guy on the Panthers.

Day one starter means one of these positions is likely to be the pick in round one: OT (Walker is guaranteed nothing) DT LB FS This puts a little bit of cold water on CB (unless they think a nickel starter is worth a round 1 pick), Edge, and WR. I think it is trenches, either way. DL or OL.

This. 100%

Not to mention Wharton (15 mil per year) and Bobby Brown III (7 mil per year). We have invested heavily on the defensive side the last two offseasons, for sure. Really shows how bad off the defense was, especially since there are still glaring holes/question marks in spots (FS, NT, ILB).

Tampa just signed Rozeboom. They now have 2 of our defensive starters from last season (they signed Robinson as well).

Watch him play. He doesn't have a cannon.

Hopefully not at all. His wind up is crazy, he isn't particularly great in the pocket, and his arm strength is questionable at best. A guy I REALLY hope we are interested in is Cole Payton. He needs some work, but this kid has tools.

The positions, as I see it, that we are zeroing in on in the first three rounds are: - OT - CB - DL I strongly believe we will be walking away with some combination of those positions in Rounds 1 - 3. I was hopeful that we might be looking at LB or S, but I don't think that's the case. Right now, I'd love to get: Round 1: OT Caleb Lomu (I think he has the traits to be a top tier LT in the NFL) Round 2: S AJ Haulcy (This guy would transform our defense. He's a monster.) Round 3: DT Domonique Orange

This is conjecture. The article simply says Vrabel had no interest in coaching the Panthers. There wasn't a reason given.

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/mike-vrabel-breaks-silence-on-2024-head-coaching-cycle-that-resulted-in-him-not-getting-a-job/ That's just not true.

I'm watching clips and things of various prospects, and I was watching some of Mesidor. The thing that jumped out to me? God, I am jealous of whoever ends up drafting Rueben Bain. He is an absolute monster and a stud. Good Lord. One of Mesidor's sacks was BECAUSE Bain shoved Mesidor into the QB to knock him down. Insanity.

DJ Reader at nose would solve some problems and open up more possibilities in the draft. Unfortunately, Evero doesn't seem to value the "run-plugging" DT.

He played well for them, but he just wasn't better than Aaron Jones. But he had some solid seasons playing second fiddle.

Damn, not even conditional. Nice work, Dan.

Good signing. Could do much worse for 3rd string back.
