I seriously doubt that Styles will be there. He's gonna do superhuman things at the Combine. He's probably more likely to end up top 10 than being available at 19.

Travis Kelce was the leading vote getter by miles. lol He finished 4th among TEs in receiving yards and 13th in TDs for a 6-11 team. If you're not Taylor Swift's boyfriend not sure anyone outside of immediate family are voting for that.

It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.

Main roads are decent though. 8" 9n the driveway ain't gonna hold me back. I lived 14 years averaging 100".

The Bears are loaded at WR. Why would they want to trade a good #2 TE for XL? It wouldn't make any sense. A good #2 TE is better for their roster than a guy fighting to hang onto the last WR spot on the depth chart.

We got about 8". What sucks for me is that directly to the south of my house is a small mountain so this time of year we get minimal direct sunlight on the house and driveway. There's still 2-3" of sleet underneath this snow. Gonna take a serious warm spell for it to clear off. My small plow had nothing for all that sleet. The overall driveway is almost half a mile long. I'm parking the Land Cruiser down by the pond to avoid having to drive uo the last 75 yards or so to the house which is the steepest part. That's probably gonna be the status quo for the foreseeable future. I need a stretch of days in the 50s with night time temps that aren't getting below freezing.

It generally means less upside. You're a literal man playing amongst boys in college. Sometimes you find a Joe Burrow but you usually find a Xavier Legette.

He's gonna be an older rookie at 24 years old. Some guys just don't carry weight well. I don't think you draft this guy expecting him to play much heavier. Just comes down to whether you want lighter more agile OL or maulers. We seem to prefer the mauling type.

Not sure how high we'll be on Lomu to be honest. We seem to prefer big maulers on the OL and Lomu is really light for a modern NFL OT. He's listed barely over 300.

That's not what you said. You shoehorn yourself into OT and LB in the 1st and 2nd. This roster has plenty of need. We don't need to feel the need to force anything.

Yeah, I think the BPA is pretty defensible regardless of specific position.

I've considered that too. If he loses some range and agility he could still potentially move inside. Our guards are aging. I do think we need to be forward thinking at OT with Moton's age and Icky's injury. But Icky is under contract next year and we'll have better jnsight into his recovery than anyone else. I'm just hoping he can get back in the field in the latter half of next season so we can get a real evaluation of him in actual games. I'm not ready to throw Icky out right now but I do think relying in him as a long-term answer after this injury would be a big risk. This was the downside of backing into the playoffs with no real chance of making any noise. There was talk right after the injury of Icky dealing with some lingering injury issues down the stretch and you have to wonder if those lingering injuries contributed to the big one. When the body is compensating for an injury you're going to be more prone to another injury occurring. Backing into the playoffs with a losing record may have cost us our long-term LT.

So you want to shoehorn yourself into drafting OT and LB in the 1st and 2nd? Great way to end up reaching out of desperation.

I wouldn't say very likely but I think OT is on the table at #19. You don't do anything with Icky right now. You just let him rehab, then likely start the season on PUP and go from there.

Way too many of y'allare panicking about Icky. He holds no cards right now. His agent knows it. He's under contract next year with the 5th year option and is in no place to demand a huge deal rehabbing from an injury with a very spotty recovery history for NFL players. Any deal that would be inked right now would be far off his healthy market value. What's he gonna a do? Hold out and forego $17M after suffering a potential career altering or even ending injury? There's no pressing need right now to do anything long-term with either Icky or Coker. Chill. The Panthers hold all the cards currently with both these situations.
