Why would we want a head case like Marcus Peters, especially at #25? No thanks.

If we do something like sign Greg Jennings tomorrow, then you know Gettleman is a true troll at heart.

He may not be a hot topic of conversation, but I think virtually everyone assumes he'll be starting at DE opposite Charles Johnson.

Neither. They won't be the only two players on the board.

I'd bust a fuging nut if we landed Devante Parker. I really like Strong and would take him in an instant, but Parker? Wow. Blue goose.

I don't have any huge problem with any of the picks other than Perriman, but that is some serious east coast bias. Not a single pick from west of the Mississippi.

This. It's almost impossible for me to imagine him being worse than Chandler or Foucault.

Jaelen Strong in the 1st and Cedric Ogbuehi in the 2nd? Sign me up.

Yet, his former college coach who presumably knew him very well snatched him up very quickly when he became available. That's about as strong of an endorsement of Martin as I can imagine.

Very possible. Though, I don't think any pair of OTs will surpass the infamy of Bell/Chandler in the minds of Panthers fans for a long, long time. At least I hope not.

I don't see how anyone could not like this signing. There's virtually zero risk involved.

Not sure how much influence Fox has over personnel in Chicago, but I can't imagine he'd value CB over a pass rusher anyway.

I like our starting CBs, but I don't like having to rely on Colin Jones to play nickel.

Oh well. Would've liked to have had him, but Alan Ball isn't going to make you or break you as a team. IMO, we were signing him for insurance purposes just in case the cards don't fall correctly for us to take a CB in the draft this season. Even if we'd signed him, I still think we would've been looking CB in the draft.

Yep. It's why tendered restricted FAs are rarely offered deals by other teams. Other GMs know they're simply negotiating the terms of the contract for his current team.

1. KB 2. Vet other than Cotchery, Jennings is just fine 3. Rookie or Ginn 4. Rookie or Ginn 5. Brown Not buying the Hill talk.

Do not want. But, with that said, if Proehl signs off on him that's all I need.

Love it. Maybe someone reaches on the workout wonder and a real WR like Strong falls in our lap.

I don't trust his hands. We already have one starting receiver with an issue with the dropsies. Not sure we can afford another.

Cooper, White, Parker, and Strong. Those are the 4 WRs who I'd take in the 1st round.

I see stuff like this mentioned a lot for prospects, but how often does it actually happen. Instinct by definition cannot be improved, it's something you're born with. Some guys just see things on the field better than others. You can improve your pre-snap read abilities, but once that ball snaps, you either have the feel for the game or you don't. I don't think it can be coached.

It seems like every year there's about 25 "borderline" 1st round picks.

If the top 4 WRs go in the first 12 picks, I'd prefer to look elsewhere at #25. IMO, those top 4 WRs are about as close to sure things as you're going to find in the draft, but after that there's a pretty steep drop off but a lot of depth. I'm not convinced there's a big difference between the #5 WR and the #10 WR.

I'm on the fence. Always depends on who else is available. Also depends on how Gettleman and Rivera envision him being used and what they think about Tre Boston. Do they think he's a legit center fielder type FS? IMO, that's what you'd need beside Collins. If you have that type of safety to handle the deep coverage and can allow Collins to roam, that gets interesting. For awhile now, I've been on that Jaelen Strong wagon. If he's there, I want him.
