Would anyone be interested in a board-wide Mock Draft? If so sign up here, and I'll explain how it works.

It's the offseason, we're not in the playoffs and what we're mainly looking forwards to right now is our top 10 pick in the NFL Draft.  So if you're a draft geek like myself, a great thing to do to pass the time can be to do a huge Mock Draft?  Basically, I'll open sign ups below and I'll make all 32 teams available to sign up for.  Once every team has been claimed (it will be a first come, first serve basis) we'll do a huge mock draft where you basically control a team.  It can last one round or we can do all 7, whatever you guys are up for.  I think we could get about three good rounds in.  I was thinking a 12 hour clock per pick, because I know people are busy and don't have time to constantly be checking this forum.  I'd even be alright with pushing it up to a 24 hour clock if you guys think that would be better.  We would just make one big thread where all the picks are made, and we could even move it to the NFL Draft section once we get enough people to sign up.  Trades would be allowed too.  Basically, if you're picking 13th and want to move up to 7, you can PM the user that has control of the seventh pick.  If you guys agree to a trade, just send it my way for approval.  I guess I'll kinda be like the commish.  Say the guy picking 13th gave up his third round pick to move up to 7.  I would take note of that, and that user would acquire the third round pick once it comes along.  With every pick, you would simply make a post of who you are taking and a few sentences as to why.  After that, the next man up is on the clock.  I don't know if there will be interest for this or not, but I did one once and it was fun.  I'll open up sign ups now, teams will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis.  That's the fairest way I can do it.  I won't pick the Panthers, I'll go with the Jets I guess.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
