I believe we just extended J-Stew and he now has this year and next under contract. I don't think they would have extended him another year if they didn't plan on him playing for Carolina in 2018. With that said, it's important to remember, if we draft a RB high, it's likely they are going to be backing up J-stew for at least 2 years (much like shaq and butler). Double-trouble v.2 anyone?

  That was a pay cut and restructure with nice wording so it sounds good in the press. We are not paying Stewart 5.25M next year. He will not be brought back at 1.5M cap hit. It's amazing how much better JStew has gotten since the season ended. He's went from 30 year old average and injury prone starter to a top back in the league.

Not so much their draft pick, he already told me not to leak that, but what his department sees other teams doing, sure. Like he said a couple days ago, scouts/gms are just as susceptible to smokescreens as us. We talked yesterday and we were talking about how this is easily the murkiest draft in a long time, smoke everywhere, and no real feel at what people are doing. Believe it or not, they pay attention to online mock drafts to get an idea of where people are going, and they talk with people inside the other team buildings, plus getting ideas from talking with fellow scouts at combine/pro days/etc. It's not like they all sit in absolute silence about their grades and ideas lol

So are you saying you do know the pick?

"Yeah, Broncos couild trade up for McCaffrey, Chargers might take him too. If Panthers get Fournette, someone will trade up for him. Still locking in Panthers with the best RB available at 8 or trade up."

That's about all I am going to get from him tonight.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
