I think a lot depends on how the FA options shake out. Vegas was a team that a lot had tied to drafting a QB and they went and got the best QB option available, not that anyone really knew it was an option, rather than attempt a move up. So it's gonna be about who thinks of those two rookie options is "the guy." IMO, purely speculation, but I think Giants go veteran. Namely because Daboll is on the hot seat. Rookie QB is typically not a good idea for a hot seat coach.

I would say that you should also remember that this there are some attractive options at DE/EDGE in free agency/trade now. Keep an eye on them to see if they also make a FA move/trade to address it like Vegas did with Geno. If that doesn't happen, I think that is likely telegraphing the Carter move.

Wonder if Vegas made the Geno move as a sign they don't expect to see Ward/Sanders or as a general vote of no confidence in them as prospects? The offseason is getting pretty spicy already.

Howell starting would be a very obvious tank move. It's strange for a HC to be down with a full tank in year two. I am skeptical about that. I think maybe they recognized that Geno was basically a 10-15 ranked QB that was likely still going to command a significant price. The QB market has some interesting options too. Washed former greats(Rodgers, Wilson, Cousins), draft QB's that no one is super excited about and some potentially attractive reclaimation projects for the completely delusional(Darnold, Fields).

Well now Seattle could need to move up, as well.

Geno is miles better than Darnold.

Garrett trade would likely be post-June 1st, which means a lot of needy teams will make their plans at DE. Sounds like Cleveland is pretty head-in-the-sand about the situation, so I suspect a TC holdout that goes into the season, ultimately leading to Garrett going for substantially less than Cleveland could probably get now.

Been all over Texass. Beautiful state completely ruined by the arrogant, retarded Texans.

WTF. Who the fug had this on their bingo card??

$4 mil.

So many pass rushing options. Sign one and draft one

It is a very weak center class unlike last season when we passed on a 10 year starting center.

I generally don't think there is a top 10 caliber TE. I feel the same about DE/EDGE. However, those are both insanely deep positions that I absolutely want to draft in this class.

I am fine taking a real BPA. TBH, I don't trust a Panthers BPA.

Anyone who has spent any considerable time in Texass knows how much it sucks.

True. It sucks but keep grinding and play hard. Find out what you have to build with for this big offseason

The trying is nice but this is two straight failures.

Minus the above average FA class(you are forgetting a LOT of whiffs, BTW) his draft was prime Fitterer. I would say after year one he is worse than both Gettleman and Hurney. But, super small sample size. Maybe it will get better. We better fuging hope it does....

It ain't luck. He has an eye for talent. In fairness, it isn't like he didn't take players plenty of people here weren't pounding the table for(Carter, Mitchell, etc). He just gets good players.

Locker room cancer, so glad he is gone. This was a way bigger blunder than Guentzel.

This would be a very good idea. Shorter term, lower pick. Would prefer to 2026 3rd and maybe a 4th this year.

Not saying I am not interested in DL but it has to be for a reaonable price. And Panthers fans also will need to come to grips with the fact that you are never going to see superstar production from Metcalf. He will produce at a top 15ish clip if he stays healthy and he will be a hell of a focal point for some defenses.

Higgins doesn't have the drop issues that Metcalf does, nor does he have the issue of being a #2 WR like Higgins does. Not to say I think we should pay a massive bag to Higgins either. I am just saying there is nothing about Metcalf, outside pure Underwear Olympics boner inducing Al Davis wet dream athletic ability, that screams top 5 paid player at the position. He really has been underwhelming, if anything. Not bad. He definitely isn't bad. And I do want him.....but not at that price. We can't go player, to player, to player and reset the market. We will be in shambles for another decade.

Yeah and that is an extreme example but there are plenty more that don't flounder the way we do in the draft. It's so disheartening. To my core, I just hope it's that Morgan is completely incompetent. Because the alternative scenarios are so much worse.

I mean Deebo is nothing close to a #1 WR. IDC about "A #1" give me a MFer who cam play the position very well. Maybe focus on that first and, shocker, you end up with a #1. That's a big problem with our franchise, IMO. They are also focused on "A #1 WR" and it blinds them to just straight up, a very good WR who knows how to fuging play the position. You think maybe that Kupp or Nacua or Nico Collins were drafted as #1 WR's in the middle or later rounds? Or were they just really good fuging football players that actually ended up being number 1 guys BECAUSE they happened to be great at football?
