This is what I found. I don't even see how South Carolina fits within those rules honestly but I don't have a Rand McNally map if Charlotte handy lol "By League rule, a "local" player is determined to be a player who is from the "local metropolitan area as defined by a current Rand McNally map." That means the player must be from within the shaded area of that metropolitan map. That League policy can be vague and also can be advantageous to some clubs over others."

Yea, I'm not sure how I feel about him yet. A lot of qb prospects make huge rises or falls the year before they come out, and he doesn't even have to come out for a long time. So I'm not judging him as a prospect before the upcoming season is over. It's just something I've been wondering about since the absurd amount of top 30 visits. Not really saying my opinion on him as a prospect or drafting him either way. Just reading some tea leaves so to speak.

Yea and we only brought 1 in, the udfs linebacker. That's what makes me think there was more to the visits. Even if my theory is true I think they're still hoping Bryce continues to improve as choice #1. But by how fast Dave benched Bryce and how long it took to bench Dalton to put him back in, I don't think Dave is 100% confident in the ceiling of Bryce. Might as well do a little qb research just in case even if you're 90% sure Bryce is the answer.

I don't disagree. I'm just saying we used 11 of our top 30 visits on south carolina players and we brought in one, as a udfa. I just wonder if some of that was to research Sellers. Also I don't like South Carolina as a Pipeline either, but Sellers does have a lot of potential and could definitely climb up the qb rankings this season. He was a redshirt freshman last year and showed a lot of improvement. They clearly didn't spend 11 of the top 30 interviews on south carolina players because they were wanting to bring them in this year or they would have drafted some or brought in more than 1 udfa.

I honestly think this coming season is his make or break year. I have noticed some press conferences where Dan and Dave have made some interesting comments when asked about bryces future and upcoming contract and they've basically said they're not thinking about that or factoring it in at all. Hopefully he continues to improve, that is our best bet. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks they have already start preparing if he doesn't make another jump this year. The thing that have made me wonder, while doing some detective work. The Redshirt freshman from South Carolina, Lanorris Sellers. He has crazy potential and improved greatly throughout the season last year. I saw we had 11 south carolina players in for our top 30s including 5 or 6 that were expected to go undrafted. It's a bit of a conspiracy theory but could they already be doing a lot of research on Sellers by talking to his teammates. Again, I'm not a Bryce hater and I think the best option is he continues to make a jump this season. It's just something that has stood out to me.

It was Eric the pff guy. He controlled a lot of our draft this year. He has stated before you give up picks to trade up for QB specifically, any other positions you do pick swaps.

I like Ransom fine, I'm fine with the pick, I just have no idea why we never care about a coverage safety.

If you don't value him as a starter then he's not going to be worth all the noise that's going to come with him. Ive basically heard if no one values him enough to take him in the 4th round then he's probably going to go undrafted because then the ratio of noise to value gets more skewed after that.

That's how the Eagles draft too. They brought in an analytics guy like that too.

You mean a quick shifty receiver like we've needed for years? (minus the diontae Johnson games)

Again, I specifically pointed out trading next year's first was bad. I am talking value based on where a player was selected. Pick 15 and pick 26. Both players were a big time need for them and both players were expected to go earlier.

I wasn't saying anything about competing with division rivals. I was saying Falcons had a clear need and clearly addressed it and still got good value with their picks. They didn't reach and they also didn't pick a player that makes no sense for them. We reached by a few picks and picked another big wr with no quickness on a team with the slowest offense in the NFL. We picked a guy with a #2 ceiling at pick 8 with no #1.

No? Tmac isn't as good of a prospect as Drake London and London didn't do anything really until this past season. I'm not sure off brand drake London is thr compliment you think it is. Especially at pick 8 when you have a million ways you could go to improve the team

I wouldn't have gave up a first either, but their pass rush is going to be better. I can pretty much guarantee that. We are still going to be a bad defense with the slowest offense.

The kid that has a negative attitude towards watching film?

They wanted him to be a #2 to pair with Ceedee

Maybe a receiver that is quick or scares a db about getting behind them..

I don't think so. Pennix showed flashes that he may end up being a good qb and they didn't expect to be picking that high again. If you need a qb and you really believe in one in the draft then you take them over anyone else.

No. I think he should be 100% gone next year.

The Falcons had an awful pass rush. They drafted Jaylon Walker and James Pearce Jr. We have an awful pass rush, the worst defense in NFL history, and the slowest offense in the NFL by a large margin and we take... TMac. Make it make sense. I am in no way for trading a first round pick but the Falcons knew who they really were and what they needed and addressed it while also getting great value on the draft board. I hated our draft last year and I hate the way this one has started off. If this draft doesn't make an immediate impact and show flashes of some potential true core players then Dan Morgan needs to be fired immediately after this upcoming season. In my opinion he has no idea how to evaluate talent or build a team for the modern NFL. Everything about the players he likes and the roles he tries to put them in are dated and scream early 2000s.

Mcshay is one of the most in the loop nfl media guys.

Straight line long speed is severely overrated. Especially by the panthers front office.

Hell no, not at pick 8.

I don't know how you get a tepper pick. This is the exact type of pick Dan Morgan has consistently made
