Ding ding.

I predict few trade (if any) at the top, but I still think Bryce falls because of his weight.

This is key: Tepper, as he had after the first round of interviews, asked everyone to rank their top five candidates, abstaining from the vote (so as not to influence anything). Reich was first on everyone’s list. From Nos. 2 to 4, the lists varied, making Reich a pretty clear-cut choice—and leading to Reich’s hire, made official Jan. 26. It wasn’t just a Tepper decision to move away from Wilks. Everyone wanted Frank.

Yep

I agree but I think they’ll take him because they feel like that have to.

I’m starting to think Young will be the 3rd QB taken and MAY even fall to us at 9. Size is a concern. I don’t expect Bryce to have too many full seasons.

Since we don’t have a QB (with low odds we’ll get a real QB this off season), I expect Reich to be here only 3 years.

This. People forget how Cam completely dominated college football. In one year he literally ran over everyone for a Heisman and national championship. AR wouldn’t sniff that in 100 lifetimes.

It’s going to be Stroud or bust for us I think. The right move is probably to not draft a QB this year (unless one falls or trading is cheap) and give Corral a legit shot, but I don’t see this FO doing that.

No curse was placed on Ohio state. If you think the logo matters then you believe in magic. Scout the player. Don’t believe in football wives tales.

So you’re good with just throwing a top 10 pick away? AR working out in the pros is a long shot. 95% confident he busts. Poor accuracy and not enough time at the position. No way Frank AND Fitts hitch their wagon to that.

Duce & Coot!

Corral *could* have IT, but I don’t think that FO has the patience to find out.

Drafting a QB this year depends less on Scott’s ability to trade, and more on how much a team in front of us wants the same QB.

I want to hear specifics but we’ll probably get a bunch of BS like ‘we’ll be the most prepared, most physical team’ blah blah.

She married an older fat billionaire. She knows how to strategically play the Long game.

I don’t think the Panthers will be able to compete for a SB for another 7-10 years.

With Rhule, Tepper thought he was hiring his coach for the next 20 years. I think this presser will be much more low key.

Brian Johnson is probably who they want. Not much NFL experience though.

Yeah, expecting a TE to block Reddick is dumb.

That’s not always true.

Exactly, Wilks earned respected and an interview. He just isn’t the guy the team needs right now.

I get the emotional attachment to Wilks, but ask yourself honestly. If Wilks (9-19 as a HC) went 6-6 as an interim for some other team, would you want him? Especially given some of the boneheaded decisions he made this year. No, we wouldn’t have even interviewed him. Frank isn’t going to set the world on fire (I think he’ll be fired after 3 years), but he was the better option considering his experience coaching up rookie QBs.

I think we’d give up one future first and a bunch of other picks. I think 2 future 1sts is too much.

1000%. None of these guys want to try this again. We’ll draft and maybe start Darnold for a few games.
