Bear Hands

Branch and their D coaches have been calling for Jihaad

ATL wayyyy overpaid...but now they've got Pearce and Walker so it's hard to really laugh at them.

Zonies… I kid I kid. You can have this Tuka

Feel like a trade should be coming up in the next pick or so - Hampton/Golden maybe

Tyleik Williams would be nice. Ez would be good at edge.

I don't mind it but I've accepted we're just never going to go for a shiftier short area quickness type who could break the big gains. With this now done, defense could be the next 2 picks. Maybe a OL mid rounds, but now the focus is on maybe going up to get Ez/Emmanwori/etc. whoever falls to the late first.

Open to discussion, pre-draft shows are starting - here’s to a fun night.

That was a great morning commute listen

Yeah this is The Beast level stuff but all Panthers oriented. Incredible peeps would do this - team should honestly hire them haha

No doubt. Like I said we should be fine with the overinvestment, but there’s a line. Drafting a DT/DE high wouldn’t cross it. I’d welcome the help.

We have a similar idea with roster aesthetic. Throw in a OL like Mbow/Trapilo, and that could be a stellar type of draft haul.

Cap sites show the savings matches the dead cap around $5 mil if we cut Robinson post-June 1. So it’s either viewed as addition by subtraction or you keep him on the team until 2026 for what he can bring. He’s not bad…but at the same time has been hit/miss (and a few times pretty bad last year with the reserves next to him). Was one of the better guys at his spot league-wide when he was in NYC.

Dead cap this year is rough, even post J1. But I’m sure they understand/Tillis has that scenario mapped out—at least I’d hope so… the Wharton contract is heavy for how we’d deploy him no matter how you squeeze it with Robinson or not.

I can see some arguments but Wharton’s contract is what sticks out to me on the DL with Brown and Robinson in tact. Especially with bringing Brown II as NT. Unless Evero can pull off a 6 man rotation (counting Clowney going hands in dirt on sub packages) That Wharton contract is the move that could impact us in the future, hamstrung further by adding an IDL R1 contract, but it doesn’t seem to be stopping us. We must be comfortable with the potential dead cap that would come from this type of overinvestment to assure something works out in the front 7.

Don’t add qualifiers— You said the definition so I asked lol

Let’s ask AI: If I bought something for 1 dollar that is really worth 99 cents, am I getting fleeced? It depends on a few things: What is it? If it’s something like a plastic spoon, a single sticker, or a small candy that usually costs a few cents when bought in bulk, then yeah—you might be overpaying. Where did you buy it? A convenience store, vending machine, or tourist spot might charge $1 for the convenience or novelty. Are you okay with the price? Sometimes people pay more for ease, packaging, or just not caring to hunt for a cheaper option. So, are you getting fleeced? Maybe a little. But sometimes a dollar isn’t worth the hassle of worrying too much—unless it starts adding up. What did you buy?

Ez, Noel, & Schwesinger is the haul to monitor. If we trade down, that could be a scenario we’re looking at.

Rams going with Hampton is a new one I have not seen much - Kyren and Corum there…

Some interesting omissions (Will Johnson, Walter Nolen) likely happen with adding the QBs, extra RB and DBs. Hairston as CB2 is juicy.

The one he proposed is +70 in DAL's favor on value charts (a 4th round value), but given our position (per now Breer, McShay, and more) about giving a team a slight deal), that plus a late-2026 is probably getting it done for us. And before you say it, yes, I get that you personally won't do it, but I would caution those exceptions.

Yeah I can see you're take. I don't object to the value scale. There was some article I remember (out there, somewhere) about how we gained the most value per the trade charts of any team from last year's draft moves. It was mainly because of the Fiske trade, but still, there was nothing egregious. We've just been very obvious with a lot of stuff/moves. Doesn't make them all necessarily bad. Oh and fans love to point and say how stupid their FOs are.

Felt like the Rams trade was good, but then we traded back up for the wrong guy when there were Frazier and Sainristil right there for us. It seemed we got so set on XL & Brooks, it was "get those two and think about the rest after"
