Please don't trade up in the first, just don't do it! This draft is too deep to give up picks, and we still need to fill holes at DE, TE, S and/or OL


I tend to agree, but ole Dave typically wants fewer, higher quality picks and the really like Fournette.

A little shocked by the Engram pick.  Haven't really seen or read anywhere of our interest in him.

seems to not fit the bill for a TE2 in Shulas system as we've seen they need to decent blockers. Dickson was horrible at this and a big reason why people want to run him out (when he has had to slide over to Olsens role in TE1 he hasn't looked bad, see Atlanta game at home in 2015 the sick around the helmet pass to Dickson in the endzone). And before Dickson it was Swolebones

 

 

love the LF pick and Obi pick.

normally not high on some guys that are just really raw, but with his upside and a Vet like Adams signed coming off 2 probowl seasons.  Obi could groom into one Helluva Safety for is down the road

Panthers tried out plenty of large TEs last season. Didn't work out so well. Maybe a smaller more athletic one will.

 

But seems like many of those larger guys they works out didn't have the size speed combo who were decent pass catchers similar to a Leggett or Kittle

If this played out, I would be happy with the draft. I like Engram in the ever evolving passing league that is the NFL, and when you see a skill set similar to Jordan, and transpose that potential to a QB like Cam along with Olsen still being here, the two TE game looks damn good. 

I really hope, we have good health, and good fortune this season, I think we deserve it after an injury ravaged 2016.

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
