The movement drills show a lot. Those just don't make as easy a headline as 40 times, verticals, etc. That said, the combine doesn't erase bad tape. Many workout warriors have been overdrafted because of a great combine.

Agreed. Deebo is a good weapon if healthy but that is far from guaranteed. If we got tied to another massive contract for a non-contributing player, we put ourselves in another deep hole.

I don't really view Warren as an elite TE and this class is pretty loaded at that position, so I would be against taking him at 8.

I would say it is far less likely than last year for some of the reasons stated. I don't want a haul, I just want some more top 90 picks.

Yeah, this is pretty universally acknowledged as a very, very weak QB draft. I don't think we get a QB bump unless Sanders or Ward slides but that is also a scenario where the NFL's most QB desperate teams are passing on them, which is a bad sign for value to trade up.

He can't stay healthy, it seems. Not sure he will be as impactful at the Redskins as they are going to want. But, they have a healthy chunk of cap space, so it's worth a 5th.

The pool of obvious elite players is extremely, extremely small. Likely all of them will be gone at 8.

100%. The depth in this class is outstanding at several positions of need. We need more 1st-3rd round picks. The value had at 8 isn't worth it, IMO.

FWIW, this is a fairly thin OT class. This is a bad time to be making this replacement if we choose to do so via the draft.

He is 28. Closer to the end than the beginning, most likely.

Dart is talented but the success(or lack thereof) from that system is going keep a LOT of teams away from him until later in the draft.

Not sure I believe that after the RB group tore it up.

Yeah, the announcers were shocked.

Lovers of Tez Johnson, he ran a 4.55 and 4.51 at 154 lbs. That is really not good.

This is not a very fast group of WR's.

Lol @ Bond running a 4.41 after claiming he could do a 4.1-4.2

We should take a RB this year. Thia class is bananas.

I do want to keep him because he is cheap and he is a valuable backup at multiple spots. Taking away a valuable backup is just another big hole to fill.

I think he will draw some but Panther fans MASSIVELY overrate him. He is a valuable backup and that's really it.

Sounds right. That's the difference between professional sports fans and college fans. Once you aren't on the team, pro sports fans move on. College sports fans care zero about pro football except being homers for their typically underwhelming players.

If we keep BC, we have at least a backup option. We need OT depth anyway.

Makes me think OT might be on the menu at 8. I wouldn't hate it.

Yeah, I have been around Greenville/Anderson/Clemson on and off over the past 15+ years. They basically care nothing about anything other than Clemson football. Greenville might change as that area has changed. Lots of people moving there that don't have the stink of being college football brainwashed.

It isn't gate keeping. Most of SC is either ambivalent or openly hostile to the Panthers for reasons I cannot fathom. I remember being in a packed sports bar in Columbia and not being able to watch the Panthers game because all the "fans" wanted to see some 28th string Cleveland QB make his first NFL start. There are almost no pro sports fans in SC at all. They care only about college football.

I have lived and worked all over SC. The level of support is fuging pathetic. I have encountered far more rooting against the Panthers than for them. Hence, I have never considered it SC's team. It is definitively a NC team.
