Yeah I'm watching our draft position very closely.  A marked amount of movement can happen in these last couple of weeks, but suffice it to say that those hoping for us to lose to raise our draft position likely will be getting coal in their stockings this year.

At this point, you can probably kiss the top O-linemen and/or top DBs goodbye.  Fournette is still in play in my estimation.

Like I stated before we're picking in the teens. This team always has moral victories in December when they are out of the playoffs and always distances themseselves from a top ten pick. That's annoying as hell when you have a chance to actually better your team with a higher pick. Playing spoiler to the skins is fun though. I guess Josh Norman spoke too soon about who's going to the playoffs. lol.

Yes the team needs an infusion in several places and odds are they will have a top 15 pick...I am sure there will be a DT their for Gettleman.

...but, damn, it feels great to feel great today and to see the Pamthers play great, have fun, and beat the team, and owner, and fan base that I hate more than any other AND possibly knock that team out of the playoffs.  Priceless

nothing could be finer then the silence of HTTR after a Panthers  football game.

And its going to continue to lower as I am not one for playing for draft picks.  Losing for draft picks is a loser's mentality and a losing franchise does that.  We have changed the culture of our organization.  We are out for blood and we are out to win games one to destroy playoff dreams for others and also to carry momentum into next season.  Players are playing for their jobs, future contracts, pride, and also we are playing 2 division rivals to finish the season.

Play to win the game!

Even if we lose out on top draft picks, can we do what we need in FA? Also, I don't like this whole "losing for a top pick" because as stated above, that's a loser mentality. I do not believe in tanking the season. Even missing the playoffs, finish with a .500 record and have pride.

I'm less worried about draft position than I am keeping the shitty coaches that are holding us back because we managed to pull off a few late season wins like in 2013. 

This is a valid concern, particularly based on Rivera's history. I've said a few times in so many words that I believe Rivera's biggest weakness is holding on to Shula for dear life, and this may just get Rivera fired. I hope Ron does the right thing (because to the dismay of many, Rivera ain't going anywhere anytime in the near future).

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Joe Person Draft Weekend inside info

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
