Would you all be open to moving up to either #5 overall to nab Fournette/Hooker? I know Gettleman is sold on both guys. The odds of one of them being taken at 6 or 7 seem pretty high, and it wouldn't cost that much to do it. I have been hearing rumblings about it, but I am skeptical to believe Gman would ever trade up. If both guys are gone there, our options dwindle quite a bit, and you would be hard pressed to find another blue chip player at that spot.

Stay at 8 or trade down. The talent is deep in this draft. We may miss out on a Hooker but get Justin Evans, Obi, or Eddie Jackson. We may miss out on Fournette but get McCaffrey, Perine, or Kamara. I trust the depth of this draft to allow for quality and quantity to link up.

Verge, what is you source telling you this year about FA and the draft?

Verge is the annual announcer of sources with very little to validate such claims.

It's kind of like my stance with Christianity. I'd like to believe, but what evidence have we seen?

I've seen him nailed the Shaq Thompson and Vernon Butler picks.

Interest in Butler was everywhere in the week leading up to the draft. And I also remember hearing we were higher on Shaq than other teams. Many outlets weren't buying it, but it ended up being true. I am not saying I know Verge doesn't have sources. but I haven't seen anything groundbreaking in terms of differentiation of "insiders" posting online with the Rapaports and such of the world.

He called DJ Hayden being a top 15 pick when there was really no hype for him leading up to the draft. That year he said a few things that happened.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      fuging Christ dude this isnt hard.  Like at all.  I get you simping for this poo team is your thing but sometimes you have to look at reality.   Even removing his bum knee from the equation, none of this made sense.  He is 31.  He has been paid handsomely for his service here.  He was currently under contract for this season.  Why in the holy fug did anything have to be done 2 weeks before the season started.   The people for this move, in this thread are saying A) He deserved it (this is the nfl it doesnt work like that  B) It frees up cap space (then why in the fug didnt we do this in Feb or C) You logic (We are getting a deal at 53 million guaranteed for the next 3 years.   You realize with this deal we cannot cut or trade his ass for 3 years.  You understand this right?   So in my opinion we should have let this ride into the offseason and go from there, what he is going to threaten to walk, big fuging deal he would be 32 on a chronically bad knee, what other moronic franchise is going to give him 40 million up front?  It wasnt going to happen.   And you are acting like its impossible to replace a 32 year old RT with a bum knee.  Just go and draft someone, move Icky to RT.  There are tons of options instead of extending this dude 2 weeks before the fuging season.  The truth is Morgan and the shitheads in the FO fell for this dudes crying act and got all sentimental and shelled out another ext.  We are a poverty ass franchise that doesnt act professionally

      Amazing what the prospect of being traded to Carolina will do for contract negotiations.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      5 Im glad football is back but after the embarrassment that was the browns pre season game where our starting D made Sanders look like a serviceable NFL QB, I lost hope again for a successful Panthers campaign this year.  I do hope I’m wrong!
