I'm not a smart man but that list suggests that they may just be going defense in round 1.

Campbell is a MLB in a 4-3 defense. He's not a full time edge rusher. In a 3-4 like we run he will be an ILB. He's a baller but we run the wrong defense to take advantage of his strengths.

4.4 is average wr speed in the nfl. That's the bench mark for nearly ever nfl team.

The Steelers will not have to trade up for a qb. Sanders will be there if they want him.

They will not take a qb in the 1st.

I would not touch Sanders. I think most teams feel the same way.

Get back to me when he does something in the nfl.

Yeah, I really want to improve our 2nd round pick this year. The drop off after around pick 45 to 50 is noticeable.

None of these players coming out will be top 10 at their position right out of the gate. None probably will be by the end of year 2. I think you are expecting too much.

Still don't like it. That's dropping down way to far. If they can stay in the top 12, maybe top 15 I could get on board.

Trading with the Broncos does not improve our second round position which is the main goal. Without a higher second pick the trade is pointless. Forget a future 1st as it will be at the bottom of the 1st round next year.

I don't care about class value. If anything that would make our pick more valuable because we are dropping down out of the running for best players. No, the Broncos offer is not enough for me.

That's not enough.

They want to but there will be no trading partners in round 1.

Something had to trigger a D-bag move. It's usually something of equal D-baggery. Something like that doesn't come out of nowhere.

...and an open bar.

I'm sure there's more to the story. But yeah, on face value that is pretty disrespectful.

The Panthers suck. The fans suck. Tepper sucks. Pretty much business as usual.

I think we all have the same sentiment.

Those guys you mentioned are ILB at the next level. They will be really good too. We could use any of them and like you I hope we can get one of them later on in the draft. The teams need on defense is great than the amount of picks they have. If they are sticking with the 3-4 base they will need another ILB and a OLB that can play DE in 4-3 packages. The front 7 is far from complete and the secondary will not get every need addressed this offseason. The talent is just not going to be available when we are picking I'm afraid.

They have to be able to read and react in either position. It depends on down and distance, assignment yada yada. I will say that I'm shocked in the reactions from Panthers fans to an undersized linebacker given where the Keep Pounding chant came from. It's not the size of the dog in the fit. It's the size of the fight in the dog.

Off the ball just means standing up or hand in the dirt. He can rush out wide or move inside with his hand in the dirt in a 3-4.

He's an OLB. Jihad Campbell is an ILB if that helps. Someone listed as an edge rusher is either a 4-3 end or an OLB. Campbell is strictly an ILB that can blitz and cover a TE or RB out of the back field. An OLB can do the same but his main job is to rush the passer and set the edge like a 4-3 DE.
