Ickey has been my ideal pick since last draft. Happy to see him rise so far up draft boards after such a great year...and now he's a Panther. Helllll yesss.

Tepper and Rhule are in an underground bunker.  Hiding.  Just embarrassing.  

At this point, part of me thinks this is Tepper's way of shifting blame in the inevitable scenario where we suck. Protect himself, protect Rhule, throw the FO to the wolves. 

Don't even care about the QB. I'll just focus on the blocking next year while we lose and get excited for 2023. 

Slight trade down as someone comes up for a DE or WR while we still get Neal? Please. 

Hard to be excited when you're worried the staff will screw it up and you don't have many darts to throw at the board due to idiotic trades made last year. 

Only way to get excited is if we had a full set of picks, or if Rhule didn't have his chubby little fingerprints all over everything the last couple of years while Tepper breathes heavily behind him. 

If we trade a single future pick, it better be because Fitt was forced to do it by Tepper. In which case, Fitt should just go ahead and quit and get out of this shithole. 

If Fitt trades a future pick on his own accord, especially a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd...he should be fired before the weekend is over. 

I wish we would just go ahead and get whatever bad QB the staff has convinced themselves on. I'm ready to move into the bargaining stage where I convince myself they'll be okay for a couple of weeks, before then repeating the cycle and hating everything again. 

"What's that bear doing?" was a fun quote.

Too bad it also may have been a warning sign. 

Nothing like your below average WR making too much money for his production being WAY too online. "The Brand", baby. 

Cult leader gonna cult leader. Winning doesn't matter as long as we're working towards building the brand. 

Can't wait until we trade back, pick up a 2nd, and trade that for Baker instead of drafting someone who will be with us for more than a year. 

If Ickey or Neal are there, it's hard to turn it down. 

But a trade down, where we still get Cross and pick up a Day 2 pick to get Ridder is my dream scenario right now. 

If that ends up being our first 2 picks, the draft is a win. 

Not having a 2nd and 3rd suck, but franchise LT and hopefully our future center in the same draft? Gimme. 

I'd welcome him struggling this year and being on the trade block so we can kick the tires. 

Don't think he's a bust at all, he just has little to no help, WRs dropping balls last year, bad coaching & dysfunction, etc. 

Baker makes us better, but still don't want him. 

Flip Darnold and a Day 3 pick for Baker and sure, why not. Trade a 2nd or 3rd rounder for him? Get fuged. 

The Falcons are a true dumpster fire. Poor Kyle Pitts. 

With Fitt having seemingly more input (and McAdoo's opinion as well), I'm not stressing over Pickett if he's the pick. I don't think it's solely a Rhule/Tepper selection anymore, which gives me a tiny bit of hope that our actual football brains will draft him if they like him. 

Worst case, we end up with a Jimmy G on our hands. He's our QB for the next couple of years before we ship him off for better things. Gotta find a franchise guy somehow, and the draft is our only option right now. 

Pickett looking somewhat okay today probably cements him as our pick. If he shows out, he's definitely our pick. 

Rod Smart forever 

Reads to me like Voth just confirmed Duane Brown is a Panther

Going to be Kyle Hamilton if it's a defender IMO. Doubt we go anywhere besides Pickett or an OT, though. 

Thinking OP also meant Jordan Davis, not Jordan Reed. Freak athlete, but unless he keeps his weight down, he's not playing more than 25-30 snaps a game. Not worth our pick. 

What a steal on a contract. Wish we would've grabbed him for at least another year, though. 

Crazy seeing that contract compared to the crap we gave Paradis. 

Why even waste the money on someone who's essentially in the same tier as Darnold? At least with a Minshew type, there's upside and potential maybe still there. Mariotta is a backup. 

Feel like trading down and getting Pickett is now our FO's dream draft. Doubt anyone in the Top 10 wants him, so moving down and grabbing a Day 2 pick would be a win right now.
