remember the Donkey kong suh comment. Like he just kinda says poo lol

yea that's where I fall on this, lots of teams appartenly only have ~8 first round graded players this year. If one guy is clearly a better talent just take him and worry about positional value later

IMO it's 1a Edge 1b DT 2 LB 3 Safety (less important than front seven) 4 CB 5 WR 6 TE I think you could argue any one of those positions as our first two picks and it would be a reasonable argument

without having any inside info I am sure this about how Cam handled losses his rookie year. I'm still waiting on Charles Johnson to spill the tea on Matt Rhule like he promised

I have always and will always love Cam the football player. That being said Cam has never been the most PC person behind the microphone. I truly don't think he means any harm behind it he's just one of these guys that kind talks. We all know people like that in our life.

Here's how I view it. Cam made a comment that was insensitive (this is pretty norm for him) but I don't think he meant it like "Oh all the Panthers are trash" he was just saying that by virtue of being the number one pick you are going to a stastically bad team Steve took it personally because well....it's steve for god's sakes Cam should just apologize and Steve and him can make up

Please do not link to Matt Miller's stuff on this website. He is a gigantic panthers hater and to top it off he's an idiot

One thing I thought about is that when we drafted 95 a lot of the rhetoric was: never draft a DT top 10 unless they can rush the passer. Things have changed since then and interior pressure is so valuable now. However do we think Graham is the level of prospect Jalen Carter was, because if so he's a no brainer for me.

I think Graham is athletic enough to play multiple positions on the line, I'd rather have a true nose though and have graham anchor the other DE spot across 95

Gut feeling he is the pick in the first, I just wonder if it's going to be at 8

not a bad draft at all, really hoping we get a big ole DT at some point but otherwise this is pretty good

It really just depends on the WR and the compensation. If we're talking a third rounder or later I'm much more likely to pull the trigger. If it's pick 8 overall it has to be a certified WR1 not a WR 1B or a WR 2. Teams just don't make those available, esp after the titans fuged up the AJ brown trade.

great article Joe

Tyler Biadez can 3 years 30 mill last year, Brady probably gets around that I would suspect

pay the man

every team in the league could use him and some teams will start him along the line. He's going to get paid. He's a very solid player.

Hunt probably starts for them. Thielen would be their WR#3. But your point is valid

The problem is this team is so far way from competing that I don't think it really matters for next year if Bryce is the QB, if there was a viable upgrade option I'd be all for considering it but due to the capital we invested in bryce and his improved play there is no reason NOT to keep going with him and use our cap/draft capital to improve the team

very insightful I totally agree, praying we aren't one of those teams and have learned our lessons

we could not have had cooper dejean and still traded down with the rams but there's a lot more wrong w/ this post

Not worried, I'm not a huge fan of this draft. If there were some elite level talents at the top I'd be more bummed but this draft overall looks pretty meh

honestly not really. He had a bad day but the entire team did tbh. O line had by far their worst game of the season. I said in the last Bryce thread: it still remains TBD if he is a franchise guy, a good but not great starter or not the longterm answer. Can't make that call after one week

get better soon Mr Scot. I'd offer to come watch with you but I'm working today.

I think the problem with this draft is outside of Travis Hunter at CB, I don't know if there are any "elite"/Blue chip level talents. Like Marvin Harrison Jr, Malik Nabers etc. I think their are some "very good"/red chip players. I think Mason Graham falls into this. Will Johnson probably does as well. Not sure yet if Abdul Carter does or TMAC. So even if we end up with a top 4 pick. I'm not sure we are getting a blue chip talent. I still maintain you can make an argument for drafting almost every single position in this draft at some point so just get the best player available in round 1 or do a small trade down

totally agree with every point, particularly the last one
