I will not be shocked or mad if they take AR15 #1. They have the teachers to do it. If they believe he has the work ethic and attitude to hone his fundamentals and he shows he can process on the whiteboard.

I listened yesterday, it was good to just listen to them cut it up. Someone already mentioned the Shula thing. They also talk about Ron and Harper says during our losing streak if it was Sean Payton someone would have been cut but Ron worked different and it worked out in the end.

You send our fastest staffer to run the card to the podium if he is there at 9.

Not too mad, mainly because I don't think they have a good head coach down there.

If I remember correctly Tepper didn't want to pay a fully guaranteed contract when it came down to Watson ( smart ), so I doubt we will be looking here.

I wouldn't be surprised if we were one of them. It such a glaring hole and if all the hype right now is to be believed both Young and Stroud are legit.

Don't know much about him really so I'll pose the question to someone who may : Hooker or Corral? I assume Hooker is being looked at as a 2nd-3rd round pick. Not that I am against taking him if they think he can play, just curious.

I think the general story is he was in place to have an amazing year and just kind of fell flat. His team sucks but there were expectations on him to play above the level of his team and he seemed to regress to their level instead.

I love Jaycee but Sauce is already the better corner. There were 2-4 games where he personally sealed the deal, played 1 on 1 vs the #1 WR and they tried to test him and it didn't work. Kid is out of this world. Jaycee is just behind him though.

Honestly, I am on board with Richardson at #9 and keeping the picks. Get Darnold or Brissett in here and let him learn until its time to drop him in.

I was thinking the same thing. Like...he is getting 17 this year for sure.

Look....if he is BPA at 9 I am not against it. There is always space for good linemen and you need bodies there anyways. Injuries always happen, seems especially tough for O-line. On top of that they can get hurt and the odds of returning to form are a lot harder due to sheer size. I don't think its a bad idea to have as much of a rotating factory for offensive linemen as you can and if the value of picking DE, WR at 9 isn't there and this guy is someone the team can see playing 10 years.....its not that crazy. Plus it keeps whatever QB you base this franchise around healthy and productive. As Panthers fans we should rejoice if they are not going to let us fall back into the dark ages of offensive line play again. The days when the QB was an open target all game. Only due to the fact that HE was a freak of nature did he even last as long as he did. It was scrubs all the way down. We had fuging DTs playing the position.......

Nice, hopefully we get some good insights that can keep some interesting topics going around here.

Just offseason discussion man....filling the time.

I'd rather resign Foreman. Him + Hubbard is a good combo at RB with Blackshear playing pretty well too in spots. Too many holes right now to get a RB this year unless is after the 5th round IMO. We need help at DE, Safety, WR, TE and obviously QB. I also think you have to take 1-2 offensive linemen a draft no matter what. These guys get injured a lot, need to be able to fill gaps.

Do they have a run game coordinator yet? Or is that Duce?

Interesting to me from the Athletic article : "He’s got enough multiplicity in the scheme, which I think is really important in this day and age. From one week to the next, if you’ve got a key player injured, you’ve gotta be able to have enough flexibility where you can put your best players on the field. He did a great job of that in Denver this year. We battled injuries and he still kept us right up there.Three-quarters of the way through the season, we were in the top five in about everything. We had some injuries (to defensive end Dre’Mont Jones and outside linebacker Randy Gregory, among others) there at the end (and) fell off just a little bit. We were very competitive and I credit Ejiro for that. There were times that we changed the scheme a lot in one week. So he had enough flexibility there that based on who he had available, he would utilize it." "I’ve always been intrigued by Burns as an outside rusher. This defense over the years, we’ve had great success with the outside people and a lot of production out of them. And the production he had last year (12 1/2 sacks and 22 quarterback hits, both career highs) speaks for itself. (Derrick) Brown was one of the top guys coming out in the draft. I think he’s a very talented guy, as well as (Jaycee) Horn from a coverage standpoint. So it’ll be fun going in and really taking a good look at the defensive personnel. I’ve always believed that you’ve got enough flexibility in your scheme that you try to feature your best players. I think Ejiro did a great job of that last year. Pat Surtain was one of the top two or three corners in the league. Playing to our strengths, I love it. We got some real deal talent on defense, lets take advantage.

They also but Manning because he was injured and nearing the end of his career. They NEEDED a restart. If the Bear feel like the already NEED to move on from Fields rather then take the trade and surround him with talent.....that is NOT a good sign not matter how you try and spin it.

Correct, just in this hypothetical it wouldn't make much sense.

I am really confused, do people think teams trade what they think is a franchise QB for the chance at another franchise QB? While the first one is on his rookie deal? The Bears wanting to trade him should throw big flags for people.

If the McCown rumors are true....he has a history and tight connection with Darnold.

Going to need a Vet. I would hope we take the cheaper of Brissett or Darnold, I am okay with either. I think an actual offensive coach will get something out of Sam, even if its just elevated manager, but I still think the kid can play.

If I was to attempt to read the tea leaves....I would suspect that Wilks not moving on from Holcomb to bring in someone with the Fangio 2 shell scheme played a big role. If they had the in depth discussion as a committee we are lead to believe I think at some point they zeroed in on this scheme currently being the most successful in the NFL and most adept at stopping modern offenses.

Why they have to do Moore like that lol? Outta nowhere. Thanks for posting this, very insightful. I like the Reich coming in with a real plan on player development. THAT is exciting. Outside of Campen I cannot remember the last time we felt like our staff could mold a young player all the way to potential.

Reich said F that
