I tell you where we screw up at times (maybe not this time, because LT like Sewell make us froth at the mouth)--we compare one player against another one player and then decide how those single players will do on the next level. But it is a team sport, and there is a bit of "house of cards" approach to the team. For example, one card may support other cards more than the card you like. nobody seemed to want Surtain--a tall, shut-down / zone / press (you name it) CB who would immediately put Bouye and Jackson on lesser WRs--making them better. In turn, since he does not take the bait on double moves, you can leave him in man on their #1 and use the S to cheat to the other side--which allows players like pride or Jackson or Bouye to play tighter zone coverage. Better coverage helps the pass rush, so one player makes Burns, Reddick, YGM, and even Brown more effective--less blitzing is necessary. So yes, I would love a LT like Sewell or Slater, and I would love Pitts, but I will not cry if we take Surtain--or Horn---or Farley. I will be a big boy. I think a second round T will be ready in due time, and although he may not be as good as Sewell or Slater, the weapons we have around Darnold and his intelligence might offset that need a bit. Pitts? There is only one, but a TE (and I hate to reduce him to that--because we all know better) is not as valuable as a LT or #1 CB.

Because it happens much too often.

We learn a lot about a person by the music he listens to....I don't mind a good yodel once in a while. Whose with me?

Great point. No season, no combine---flyin blind. This is why a player like Walker Little could be such a steal if he falls to the third.

Big CB, rarely bites on double moves--outside #1 Alpha CB. Why not introduce him into the conversation, even as soon as #8? Let's say Sewell is gone to Bengaland, and he probably will be. Pitts? A Falcon. Trevor (Jax), Wilson (Jests), Fields (Niner), Lance (Lion)--gone. Chase? a Dolphin. The Panthers take Surtain, CB, Alabama. You mad? Even without a trade down, the way the draft is shaking out, a solid #1 Alpha 10 year CB could be the smartest move---the KIND of CB the Panthers need is probably gone by pick 20-30. I know--you all have been pounding your chest for a T. Sniff. But he gone. Pitts? gone. While a LT makes your QB better, a #1 CB makes your pass rush better, the #2 CB better, and the S better. I am starting to think we are going to try to move back and grab Surtain, Horn, or Farley. I think they will wait to see what happens to the 2 Tackles, maybe only Sewell and Pitts, then move back. Call me crazy.

I thought so, but I am reading this:

I see that your taste in quality music and the trends they inspire is diverse and deep

Underrated on a bad team with no qb

The Lions are eerily in need of exactly what we need--and they pick 7---that suggests that they will take the best Need player on the board right before us. Some are rumoring that the Fishins take a QB at 6. Lions hoping for a top 2 OT, but would take Fields/Lance or a top WR.

I have been listening to the posts---man, you introduced me to some good stuff.

kidding.

You are conflicted and need to seek music therapy. Go with Wagner if you like the classical. Coolio gansta paradise for a classic, mainstream pop gangsta selection, and this is going to sound really strange, but I love what Clapton does with the blues. See? I am conflicted worse than you.

If I am not mistaken, this song was a hit in England and never really did much here. I think it was from the NEWS of the WORLD album.

I KNEW IT!!

I wanted to include Parsons, and I know Rhule knows the kid based on his alumni status, but I have heard things about Parsons, and then I heard Rhule say something like, "A player may not be the kind of kid we would want to coach..." Parsons jumped into my head. Then we have Perryman, Carter, etc. and I know we are a franchise with a long proud tradition at MLB---better than any other team (including the Bears) I can think of---so I was torn.

well said.

So if Atlanta would take Darnold and and our first for the #4 pick--also sending us a 4th rounder and second rounder in 2022 and sixth in 2021, would you do it?

Fields has risk, Lance has risk, Darnold has risk. Probably all have substantial upside. The difference? Only 1 will not cost us a 2021 first round draft pick.

I do not know., but for a few weeks they reported that they were not returning calls. Who knows what they knew, but I wonder if they found out before the story broke and realized that they could not trade him...I think the story will come out. If i am not mistaken, there has to transparency about stuff like this--but if they did not know and they denied offers, damn they are cursed.

You are the expert.

I think it is funny watching that paid model try to act interested in him. You could just about see her thoughts.

And he saved us from having to move up, costing us a pick. And if we move back, we basically got him for free--if we trade Teddy---Sam will have cost this team a 4th rounder in 2022. And people were bitching about the cost--the same people who were ok giving 3 first rounders to Houston for deep tissue love in the box. Which brings us from the second worst to the worst run organization in football---the Houston "Watson is not being traded" Texans. Could they make worse decisions? Had they traded him from the get go, they have 3 firsts and Watson is someone else's problem.
