This guy has been a fuging nightmare. I can't wait to hear the booing and jeering he gets every time his overrated and soon to be overpaid ass gets when he comes back to Raleigh.

I basically just stand or lay down. That has helped a lot. I generally don't sit down outside vehicles or planes. Pretty much ever.

We have the luxury of really leaning on BPA since our roster is so atrocious. There is little reason to be reaching on anyone in this draft. There is not a single individual player in this entire draft that is going to lead to a big swing in W's/L's next season(don't feel like I am going out on a limb). Just get MFers who can play and, more importantly, WANT to play and excel.

Someone punched it up pretty good. Thanks to the mod that did. I was just surprised this didn't exist in the main board yet.

I think the issue is that with not a ton of cap space and arguably the most roster holes in the entire NFL, we have to be fairly selective about overpaying for guys. I would say overpaying at safety for a guy that has an above average chance of underperforming is not a great idea without a very clear plan on overhauling the front 7. Generally you do want to build from the inside out on the defense or offense. Or at least that is my preference, anyway. It will be interesting to see what happens. Lots of smoke with us to Holland

The draft compensation is fine, we will squander that anyway but $30 mil is nuts. I like DK alot but he really isn't an elite WR. He's an elite athlete and good WR.

I have sciatica flare ups fairly frequently. It's manageable, although extremely painful. The biggest issue would be if it is causing "dead leg" or numbness, which I do get sometimes. That would really impact your play. Outside that, it's just miserable pain.

We have to overpay for talent. That's the life of a cellar dweller. Not many really want to be here, you have to pay. Hence why our poor drafting history has fuged us so hard.

$45 mil AAV is what I had the deal pegged at. I think that is about right, $40-45 mil.

I think the truth is not many of the more attractive free agents are going to be interested in us without a massive pile of money. We are basically the Jets minus the massive attraction of the NY market

Yeah, I suspect this, as well. Lots of big contenders want a guy like that too.

I don't know that it is or isn't but that's very, very rarely something someone says as a ploy. It really doesn't help him personally out at all.

No, ultimately we are a few offseasons away, no matter how it shakes out. I would like to see an Edge/DE, TE, and RB taken at the bare minimum because of the depth and overall quality at those positions.

Us as a SB contender is very unlikely in the next 5 seasons if we are crushing every offseason between then and now. That is such a crazy long way from being anything close to a reality. At that point, Metcalf is likely on the backside of his career.

Don't love it, don't hate it. Pretty solid.

Also, not sure if anyone has posted this but Metcalf is requesting a trade to a contender. We aren't looking at that for a few seasons if we are very lucky.

Paying Horn top corner money is completely insane. He has so rarely ever played like that.

Red Wings fans wooing all game to mock us. Me at the end...

He has played well. Cleaned up a few dicey ones.

Atmosphere in the arena is pretty muted. We can turn it on them quick with another goal

Took the wind out of their sails.

Can't get much going. Definitely getting outplayed.

Stop me if you have heard this before....Canes with a slow start.
