I'd be shocked if the Saints took a QB in the 1st.  Brees is still a top flight QB and you'd think they'd still be in all-in mode to try to get the most of his remaining years.  It's a lot different than when the Packers took Rodgers.  They were drafting toward the back of the 1st in that draft, not in the top 10.  Plus, you gotta assume both Winston and Mariota will be gone by the time they're on the clock and is there another QB in this draft worthy of a top 10 pick or even close to that?

hes not a suspect, he just knew the deceased.  cops are just looking for clues, maybe names of other people he could give them.  He may fall but NFL teams have done their homework on this kid.

 

IMO, the HUGE red flag is that as far as I know he still hasn't met with the police and the police have no clue where he is.  I would think that if he thought he could go in there and quickly get this thing cleared up and his name officially cleared, he would've been down there ASAP.  He had enough time to get down there and talk to them before the draft.

maybe he went to ask Rae Carruth for advice

Nope, let the huddle criminal justice experts tell it... Guys get questioned for murder everyday! Just a part of the average huddler's life apparently, lol.

Like I said before, it's the same way things started with Carruth and Hernandez, and so many unknown and unnamed cases. And if you were not a suspect, with nothing to hide, and already have an attorney under your employ, why has it taken him this long to even contact them and set something up? Unless of course you had to take care of some other things...

The Titans could seriously milk an insane deal from it.

Please Eagles shoot yourselves in the foot and suck ass for the next decade.

To move up from where they are to #2, they are going to mortgage their future like no other team had ever done before... Then again, if Mariotta works out, it won't matter, they'll just probably be without a first rounder for the next 5 years lol.

Yeah, but thats the rub.  MM isn't some kind of generational talent.  He's a guy that is a big question mark as far as ever turning out to be worth giving up a ton of picks and mortgaging your teams future for years is concerned.  Having said that, I would love the Eagles to put all their chips on the table to get him because the odds are he won't end up being worth it and they will morph into the Redskins right before our eyes.  Any time a potential condender in the NFC dramatically overpays an AFC team for what could be a whole lot of nothing it helps our chances, IMO.

Yeah, I hate every team that would interfere with our success, but I do think Mariotta is a good kid and I like Chip Kelly as a coach/football mind... I honestly think Mariotta's best chance at success is with Chip, so I like the all or nothing approach from Kelly if he wants him.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
