Ricky Spanish

#8 ranked CB in the beast and #55 ranked player overall - 2nd/3rd round grade

Junior Colson and Edgerin Cooper

Who do you want to see us take? I'd love for us to pick up another WR, some of my favorite remaining are Javon Baker, Malik Washington, and Jalen Coker.

Brooks was the #1 rated RB in Brugler's Beast Draft guide, 48th overall:

He is generally very hype for the draft each year. Such is the way of thebigkat

Brooks is a stud. Not sure why everyone hates him, he was like RB 1a or 1b in the draft this year, young, and with minimal tread on the tires thanks to Bijan and Rochson last year. He's going to be getting significant reps this season.

Brugler had him as the #3 ILB in the draft and a 3rd round grade:

I don't know enough about him to have an opinion. But a RB and a LB in the 2nd and 3rd are not positional reaches. They are reaches in the 1st.

He needs to dress up as boomhauer for Halloween when the rookies go to Levine's

poo give them 39 and Mingo. Although that almost makes that deal worse...

I like Kool-Aid at 39 but me personally, would go RB at 65 if Benson or Brooks are still there for some reason.

Just an observation, this is a game and it's supposed to be fun. I can understand disagreeing with damn near everything we've done the past decade, but getting angry and having such vitriol towards something you have no control over is just not healthy. I've been there as a fan before, and once I realized that I hated what I was supposed to like and enjoy, it made me take a step back and reassess some stuff. Now when we suck I don't get super pissed or angry, I'm just disappointed and move on. I'm still a huge fan of the team (obviously, I'm on this damn board daily), but I just don't want to spend the energy hating them. I'm not praising everything they do, but the neutral "We'll see" approach to what happens prevents the large negative reactions and lends yourself to be more pleasantly surprised than negatively disappointed. Just some food for thought. Dissenting opinions are fine, it's why we have the board at all, to discuss things, but the immediate negative reaction to any and everything that happens before anything shakes out makes it seem like you are choosing to be upset about the choices being made rather than just letting things flesh out.

Just checking in man. Mental health is important. If one of my friends consistently spoke the way you do on this board, I would be concerned for their mental well-being.

You seem to have the same loser mentality that you complain the franchise has. They think he will be a stud so they want to be able to have him under contract for cheaper and longer. You don't think anyone we draft will be good so we should trade back and get more picks increasing the chances we land someone. Why are you so miserable about everything? Is your personal life as negative as your panther fandom? You okay dude? I haven't seen you post one non-negative, smarmy or sarcastic thing in like a year. Not even base neutral comments, it's all so negative.

I can understand not wanting Legette, but I really don't understand people shitting on the move to get back into the 1st to draft him. Replace Legette with whatever WR you preferred, the move makes sense with the enormous contracts WRs are getting these days. The extra year of discounted play and contract control is worth it for a WR, not a center though. So I really don't care that they could have had him today, we didn't surrender any future picks, we didn't lose any picks, we swapped our 2nd for their 1st and our 5th for their 6th. We moved up in a more important round, and down in a less important round. 32nd pick is getting a roughly 12 million dollar contract and control for 5 years. 33rd pick gets roughly 10 million and control for 4 years. Monetarily, it makes sense and the logic of doing it is sound.
