You cannot go by anyone's rankings outside of theirs. They decide how they rank the different groups according to their needs. Their number 1 need is a rookie qb. It doesn't matter if a defensive player is ranked by some amateur draft "experts" as number 1.

I said by year 3. By the end of year 2 they better be nfcs Champs and win a couple of playoff games. If they are not trending up by the end of year 2 with the new qb then things will get uncomfortable in BOA.

This would be the dumbest thing they could ever do. Besides, I do not want the asshole anywhere near this team.

There are no defensive players that high on their board dude. They have 4 qb's. Where have you been?

If you listen to the interview between Adam Theilen and Pat McAfee they are thinking SB run. The bar is high on this crew and if they are not there by year 3 or at least very close I doubt Tepper will tolerate anything less.

I suspect that if they do go defense in the 2nd it would be for an edge rusher if one has fallen a bit. A LB is in play in the 3rd as well. I think they truly want to set it up through FA to be able to go bpa at every pick in the draft, including the 1st pick.

Look no further than what an average franchise qb contract cost today. Look at the contracts handed out to them the last few years and ask yourself how can you build a complete team with the money left. You are seeing where this is going in the future. If you hit on qb you only have a few years to sound him with talent before you have to dedicate a large portion of your salary cap to 1 player. The rookie has about 2 years by my estimate before the Panthers have another 1st round pick to replace his ass if they are in the same situation as this year. If they have not made the nfcc game by then I doubt Reich and Fitterer are around to take the next swing.

Yeah this definitely means we are drafting Levis.

That's good. He will need both while he's finishing every season on IR.

She said all that to say absolutely nothing. "My other teams connections say Young is the 1st pick on their boards" so therefore he's the Panthers 1st choice as well.

You guys will have a nervous breakdown before the draft gets here.

That's how these guys operate. The only prediction that will matter is the one they got right. No one will remember that they predicted every one of the at some point before the draft. It's called CYOA.

You assume you can trade to any slot you want. You also assume the qb they want will be available. You are also assuming you know the qb preferences of all teams ahead of them. They ONLY way you insure your qb will be there is getting the 1st pick.

It's going to be Richardson.

Its going to end up being Richardson. You just wait and see.

Sad but true.

It doesn't take a genius to figure that out.

And another wild ass guess.

This place will have a meltdown if it's not Young or Stroud. I'm going to stay it's neither since those two seem to be the huddle concensus pick. The Huddle is never right about qb's.

The Steelers are going younger at the LB position. Buyer beware on these cuts.

Exactly.
