solid, but not sexy?

despite what i said about the top of this draft, i think we can get a lot of good players in this draft. this will be a good draft for filling out the roster with good players, not for drafting all-pro players.

i mean outside of hunter, is there anyone in this draft that teams are going nuts over? most other years would Ward have been the top pick? probably not. i think that there will be some really good starters in the first round this year, but i don't know that anyone is looking at this class going "all pro player, right there" that's probably the root of some of it. people looking to get into the 1st round are probably the most desperate of the desperate grasping at straw instead of studs hoping that they can get a position of need filled. i mean that's usually the case, but i think usually it would have been harder to try and trade into the top ten. just doesn't feel like this draft has much to offer at the top of it. like most of the top 10 would have been middle to late first rounders other years. it's just not an exciting class. i'm probably looking at it wrong, but that's just what my really uninterested and uneducated eyes are seeing.

close. i'm on the toilet. nice guess, though.

this draft definitely has a weird vibe to it. the fact that there hasn't been any trades this past week or so has me feeling like we're going to be seeing a lot of stuff going on. another thing is that player valuations are all over the place. aside from maybe a couple, there's not a lot of continuity and consensus regarding player rankings. i think we'll see a lot of surprise picks.

pinning this just because it's such a useful thing to have access to this weekend if you haven't already gotten the pdf downloaded.

it will be fine. i bet it's a smokescreen. we're going to be trading up and taking shedeur sanders at 3. just you wait. no one will see it coming.

so the most accurate mocker there is currently and the the guy who has gotten the panthers pick twice are both calling Walker here at 8? starting to think maybe we're getting Walker.

best player available is subjective. every team will have their own list based on their needs and fit and metrics. what the media's supposed consensus is doesn't matter.

very interesting.....very. thanks for that.

it really is. i love it. can't wait to dig in....when i have a couple hours lol.

wow that's a lot of stuff. pretty impressive amount of work. since i haven't been following a lot of the pre-draft stuff this will help out a lot.

i think we get into the playoffs this year. i think we can win the NFCS and we can win it with 9 wins.

and so it begins....

Lol ok

i do believe that it isn't as set in stone as some people think. pick hasn't been spoiled. no one 100% knows because the draft hasn't happened and there's a lot of unpredictable things that are going to be happening before #8.

i think someone who is guessing will be right about the pick and will run victory laps about it for years "remember i was right that one time! NO ONE LISTENED TO ME!!!!!! but i'm smarter than all of you. y'all should listen to me now"

i'm really just along for the ride. this is a weird draft for me in that i really don't have a dog in the fight. there's no one i love or hate at 8. i'd like for us to trade back and get more picks, but i'll defer to everyone else's "educated" opinions. i'll be happy whoever we get because i think we're in a situation that anyone at any position they are likely to pick will help.

this has been corrected.

i was listening to Rich Eisens this morning and he said the 6 most taxing words in the NFL are "the Jets are on the clock" lol as rough as it can be to be a panthers fan, i can't imagine being a fan of the jets for decades, especially on daft day.

not at all. i've been listening to these guys for a while. they, well the sax player, does stuff with some other band called Lucky Chops (another horn band just with more people and better song writing). there's some video of that guy on stage in front of some big orchestra that is a good bit of fun to watch.
