No tackle. Gonna get Darnold killed and then go back on another QB hunt because it’s gotta his fault he keeps getting sacked. Even though we already spent future draft capitol on this guy. 

Well Radunz and Cosmi are gone. They are going to try to spin how intelligent they were by blowing all of their draft capital because they got more players.

Screw it, now that guy is going to the Saints. We just traded for a fifth in 2017, a seventh this year and two  supplemental draft pick opportunities later this summer.

Are they smoking crack in there?

No we are trying to get Legs Von Stumble, a tackle from a German football league. He’s only 5’8 and 139 lbs but Rhule likes his attitude.

We really just traded down again.

We are about to go Radunz or Friermuth 

Cosmi still there too

All these folks are still available but you would think that we can only pick USC upstate soccer players.

We are about to go Radunz or Friermuth 

I forgot about Spencer Brown

Above all else, it has become apparent that Rhule values one thing over anything else:

Rare Athletic ability

If you look at the players drafted just in the first two rounds last year and round 1 this year:

- Derrick Brown (for his size, strength, balance, and hands moreso than speed. I do believe this was more of a Hurney pick. I believe the rumor that Rhule wanted to move down and grab Kinlaw who was more athletically gifted).

- Yetur Gross Matos

- Jeremy Chinn

- Jaycee Horn

All of those guys are FREAK athletes. 

Those are the guys we can expect to pinpoint as targets for the rest of this draft and in every draft with Rhule at the helm going forward. He believes he can coach anyone. He just wants the guy he is coaching to have SOMETHING special to work with.

So who else stands out in this regard for the draft this year?

Walker Little.

Pretty sure most of us here want a legit LT to finally replace Gross. Hate missing out on Sewell but hopefully we hit on someone today. 

Yeah probably about the time McCaffrey retires.

It’s not just the Saints that won with Teddy.

Teddy Icewater’s history of winning extends all the way back to his youth football days. Rhule is literally the only coach that hasn’t won with Teddy as his QB.

Teddy was made the scapegoat for other organizational failings and the fan base bought it hook, line, and sinker.

Teddy, we don’t reach over the goal line. Especially in Green Bay.

I really think we are gonna go Safety as much as we need LT.

Moehrig or Grant. If we are lucky we will get  Walker Little in the 3rd.

I would rather get Eichenburg/Jenkins/Radunz in the second and pick up another safety later. 
 

I trust Juston Burris more at FS than Cameron Erving at LT.

This pick should assuage fears of Tepper meddling. 
Tepper apparently is just talk when it comes to getting a franchise QB. 

I worry about this not working and Tepper going full Jerry Jones in a couple of years.

For what it’s worth, Rhule said in the pre draft show that he called several guys last night. 
 

It wasn’t just Horn.

I wonder if he called Teddy to remind him we don’t reach over the goal posts again.

Insiders have said several times that the team wasn't very high on Lance.

Their thought was that he doesn't fit Joe Brady's system.

Fair enough. If that’s the case I am surprised they put on the QB smoke screen to not take any deals down. Maybe they didn’t want to take a chance on losing Horn.

No I think Trey Lance was the guy they was “excited” about during the press conference. Lawrence and Wilson were almost done deals. We passed on Fields and Jones. People thought the number 3 would be Jones/Fields/Lance so there was a shot he would fall. Don’t think it was used for bait.

Lol all the people who check the scores on Monday to see if the Panthers won/lost the day before are mad we didn’t get Fields.

I don't think we're really that interested in Fields. I think it's all been a coordinated smoke screen to trigger someone into trading with us. 

I doubt Sewell or Pitts will be there. 

If we trade back I have a nervous feeling we'll end up taking some guy none of us have even been discussing and it ends up being a letdown.

I don’t think we are “interested” in fields so somebody will trade with us. I think it’s so somebody will trade ahead of us and take a QB in hopes Chase, Sewell, or Pitts fall to us.

With the 8th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers select: Penei Sewell, Tackle, Oregon.

Wouldn’t take him at 8 with either Sewell, Slater, or Pitts there but yeah I’d take him if we traded outside the top 10.

If the pats don’t make the trade (which I think they will with Detroit since we keep flashing this QB nonsense). I think the Eagles will trade up with us to get a WR.

It only us 8 years to get the blue jerseys and 15 for the black pants back. Glad they didn’t do this though.

Could have been worse though, check out Jacksonville.

If I’m Brady my head is on a HC job. So I don’t want a rookie QB with first years struggles. I would want Pitts or a LT to give Darnold more time to throw.

Patrick Surtain II - 6'2" 208 pound boundary CB with a 4.4 40 time and excels in short space. Equally solid in coverage as he is against the run. Bloodlines from all-pro CB father. 

Jaycee Horn - 6'1" 205 pound versatile CB with a 4.37 40 time. Confident and a ballhawk....Kyle Pitts said he was the top CB he faced. Bloodlines from pro bowl WR father.

Either of these guys, though not an OT or QB, would go a long way sealing a tremendous positional weakness in a division loaded with talented pass catchers..... Pitts could be in ATL soon too.

Either of these two CBs are in a tier above what Bradberry was. I want Sewell or Pitts and would be equally happy with Slater at 8. 

However, there is a lot of depth at OT that can find a very, very good starting LT in R2. Draft can fall a number of ways and a guy like Jenkins falls. Radunz, Leatherwood, Eichenburg, and the kid from Northern Iowa would all be valuable gets at 39. 

Sidenote, I do think David Moore will turn heads for folks this year at WR. Only 26 years old, he is, IMO, a younger more athletic Jerricho Cotchery.

My ideal first three rounds:

8 - Penei Sewell

39 - Eric Stokes

73 - Wyatt Davis

I would be willing to pass on Eric Stokes and take Grant instead if he’s there. Would still take a corner in 3-5 range.

I'm super curious to see how much players are going to be punished for sitting out.

We won't know until Thursday.

I think it’ll be more than people expect. Not bashing anyone for doing it but when you’re making multi-million dollar decisions, that extra year of experience and tape matters.
