Of those, Solomon Thomas all the way followed by Howard/Adams, then Fournette, and then the rest.

No real method to my selections other than what I think would help the most this year while also making sense going forward.

Barnett gives us the best pure pass rusher in the draft and nonstop motor at a premium position.

Fournette gives a freakish talent and shake in boots fear to the other 31.

Ecstatic with either.

Mild to extreme disappointment with anyone else.

You'd be disappointed with Thomas or Adams? Hell, behind Fournette, those would be the next two names I'd want. I'd be ecstatic with Fournette. I'd be very happy with Thomas or Adams. I'd be okay with Howard, Barnette, or McCaffrey.

We have like the same brain currently.

If they are all on the board? Adams is now my #2 guy overall, so if all are on the board, we have to draft him.

If he's off, and Thomas and Fournette are there, then we have to go with Thomas, as he is now my #3.

I've always been a Fournette guy, but if I am sticking with my board, and Adams and Thomas are there, then they are both now rated higher than Leonard. RB is deep. DE isn't, and Adams is in a class of his own at Safety, and elite.

      Rookie minicamp

      This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops.

      I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
