General Draft Rumors and Chatter


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

A thread for non-Panthers draft rumors and chatter, rather than new threads for each one.

 

First up, there's chatter the Saints could draft a QB.  The name being mentioned is Bryce Petty, and some have even suggested it could happen in round one (though that seems unlikely).

 the Jags could hop back into the tail end of the first round to target certain players.

"Keep an eye on the Jaguars late in the first round," Silver said. "There are a couple of players that they might target, if they are still there in the 20s, they may try to trade their fourth overall pick in the second round and move up to get back into the draft."

Petty actually makes a lot of sense to the Saints in 1st round because 1st rounders have the 5th year option and since Petty is developmental guy and Brees will likely be playing for at least 2-3 years they may need the option to really decide if he is their guy.

    • Neither Barkley nor even a healthy CMC would move the needle much for us. Those are guys that impact teams that already have impressive overall offenses and defenses, so they can perform the complimentary roles that make them actually valuable. We should know that specifically because CMC almost never moved the needle on bad Panthers team after bad Panthers team. Ask Giants fans about that with Saquon.
    • I would generally disagree. You see a lot more load management than previously but that is because being healthy in the playoffs is such a key factor. Different philosophies in that regard than previous generations.  Baseball really doesn't matter until at least halfway through the season. I am not gonna say they don't play hard but the physical demands are infinitesimal in the MLB in comparison to basically any other major pro sport.  People dislike all the shooting these days but that's a direct correlation with how much the overall skill level of the average NBA player has drastically risen over the past 15ish years. There are other aggravating factors, certainly, but that is the biggest one in terms of playing style differences. So many of the guys from the 80's and 90's wouldn't even be able to play in the modern NBA at all. The biggest problem the NBA has with the American market(they are the only US sport that has any real international appeal or interest, minus the NHL) is that they are so steadily corrupt and fix the systems against the small market teams. Well, you eventually lose a big chunk of the league viewership/potential viewership in the process. Take the very obviously fixed NBA draft lotteries. Superstar and upper tier star players rarely want to play for small market teams, nor can they usually afford to pay them. So how do you expect them to possibly compete in that environment?
