Who calls it a strong C draft? I heard the opposite so curious. I can’t cite a source and you don’t have t just asking if there is one or if that is your opinion.  

 

I do think that if teams get Mayes and stick him in between weak guards they may regret it. And think ours will benefit a guy. 

 

Daniel Jeremiah was talking about the depth at center during the OL workouts. I've heard it a few other times as well while listening to draft podcasts. There isn't a Tyler Linderbaum level prospect, but a lot of good 3-5th round centers. 

We are 100% drafting a C to start. (Jones, Hecht, Law, Slaughter) I'm sure it's been Dan Morgan's plan all along. I find it smart because it's an EXTREMELY strong center draft. I'm glad Morgan recognizes that. You can't keep everyone in a salary cap world. Also, let's stop pretending that Cade Mayes was an "all world" center. He was solid, but not great. Let some other team give him 8-9 mill a year

I love the mullet but he's stiff and slow. I'm curious to see where Baun, I think that it was who i noticed is projected. I haven't looked into the oline yet so I  am just now looking into them. I think there may be someone who we can snag in the 4th.

I feel like the 3rd or 4th might be a sweet spot for our next starting center. Theres some solid centers that should be there when we're on the clock. 

Gennings Dunker is a guy I’ve grown to admire while watching the NFL Combine. Moves great, looked fantastic in drills. One of the highest graded PFF OT’s in college football over the past few years. Plus, he’s got the look too with that mullet Lol. 

Devin lloyd is too expensive when you consider other alternatives that would provide us with similar production. I'd much rather have Leo Chenal. He should be much cheaper

For me it would be like getting underwear at Christmas.  Sure you probably need it and it will be extremely useful but there is no wow factor.

Definitely not arguing with you.  Just my .02

When you take the process oriented approach, you rarely get the wow factor. I still see this team 2-3 years away from a legit SB contender. The goal is to slowly but surely build the roster with great players that you know will be impactful. Give me a clean prospect like Thieneman over a guy like Faulk who has the measurables but lacks production. I use Faulk as an example since we met with him. Faulk scares the hell out of me. Not a fan. Calculated risks that might give you the “wow factor” are necessary at times, but not in the 1st round imo. Esp not for the Panthers. 

I wouldn’t complain if we drafted Dillon Thieneman at #19 and finally fix the FS black hole we’ve had for so long. He’s a natural cover 3 FS.

Damn! Who expected this athleticism from Jacob Rodriguez?

David Bailey is going to be a game wrecker. Love his tape. His measurables are just icing on the cake. 

Hopefully we stay away from Cashius Howell. 

Sheesh. These allegations are extremely serious… Funny that the Falcons traded their #13 pick for this guy lmao

Is Chanel that much better than Roseboom? His stats are comparable and there is a projected big market for his services.

Chanel PFF grade 75.1. 18th/88 LB’s

Rozeboom PFF grade 47.9. 75th/88 LB’s

Max Iheanachor is my guy after the Senior Bowl. Dude completely dominated and has the potential to be a franchise LT. had a great season too. I’d rather go 1st round OT. 2nd round LB. Sign Leo Chanel as well

I’d love for us to take a hard look at ASU’s LT Max Iheanachor. He dominated Senior Bowl practice and the game. 

Please sign Leo Chanel Dan Morgan. 

I love Tyson. I think he will be fantastic, but would we really pay 3 young WR’s 2nd big money contracts down the road? Seems like a poor allocation of resources in a salary cap word if we plan on keeping TMac and Coker long term.

We've still fuged up in the past going "BPA". We drafted Butler at DT and Shaq at LB when DT and LB were some of our biggest strengths of the roster. Butler was a flat out bust and Shaq was basically a JAG starter at LB. I know that triggers some folks, but sorry that's just the truth. We overdrafted him then doubled down on that and overpaid him.

 

Obviously BPA is not 100% bulletproof. Even professional card counters still lose at times. Over a long duration though, it’ll give you better draft classes.  Butler was only Gettleman’s BPA. Noone else had him rated that high. 

This team simply needs more blue chip talent which is why BPA is the only way to go. It’s the best way to sustain long term success

Check out Cincinnati's Golday.   I am seeing Lukish qualities (smarts, size, speed, etc)

This is the way. He’s no Luke, but who is? Golday is one of my draft crushes. I’d love him in the 2nd.

What does Aidan Fisher's draft stock look like? Looks like a player to me.

Go watch him on that long TD run by the Miami RB. Yikes. 

Screw it, I'll go against the grain and play devils advocate. We tried the committee approach with Turk Wharton and Bobby Brown at DT instead of just paying a little extra for the blue chip player Milton Williams last offseason..That was a mistake. If we pass on Trey, we'll most likely do the same again.. overpay for JAG's who don't move the needle(Wonnum, Jones, Wharton, Brown). If we like it or not, there's a high chance we are going to have BY for another few years bare minimum. Might as well just accept it, use that extra cap space to build a good team around him like other franchises do with their rookie contract QB, then see what happens. A projected 2 year 50 mill deal for a player who's 1 year removed as the sack leader is not the worst outcome. Plus, that would take pressure off our young edge guys to carry the workload.. Tre played in 7 games last year, still had 4 sacks. Around a 10 sack rate if he plays the entire season. Still better than anyone we have. He was also playing hurt before he finally called it quits for the season. I get that he's 31, but a guy who heavily relies on hand usage, technique etc more than athleticism should still be productive as he ages a little. It's a strong LB class. It would allow us to address LB, OT, with our 1st and 2nd round picks while giving us another year to evaluate Scourton and Princely before we jump the gun on another edge.

As it stands now, yes, a couple OTs are slotted in the early 20's on multiple BBs. 

I assume you’re talking about Proctor and Lomu. I consider them overrated and both risky prospects, but we’ll see what happens. I feel like the value in the 2nd round at OT is way better “bang for your buck” than the late 1st round guys. 

14 what the hell are you doing?!

At 19, it's hard to imagine OT being even close to BPA. I'd rather just draft BPA and figure LT out another way even though it's not ideal. We simply need more blue chip talent.

He’s too arrogant to kick a FG
