friendly reminder about the draft

The draft is always "crazy" but this year its likely going to be even moreso, so I wanted to put down a few friendly reminders

 

A) Teams don't draft with the intent to help the Panthers, so that second round gem you felt really smart for finding is gonna go way higher than the pick you think he should, which is coincidentally a panthers pick. Obi Melinfonwu seems like a prime candidate for this. Look for the guy you were so sure the panthers would get in the 2nd round to go top 12.

2) the inverse of this is that the player you've been campaigning for months for the panthers to take at 8 overall may be there at 40. This isn't going to be christian McCaffrey so accept that, but I could very well-if you forced me to guess-see Derek Barnett falling. (Though probably not that far) There is of course that reality that we end up with a player you've never heard of and everybody gets mad. If I had to guess, I'd say pick 40 will be a somewhat notable player that slipped, but that you've never heard of the player we take at 64. (Provided we stand pat)

D) ESPN is actually the superior option on day 3 of the draft. NFLN will shift all their coverage to discussing who the cowboys and patriots selected two days prior and will completely disregard picks at that point, but ESPN (for all its flaws) actually shows highlights and discusses every player drafted deep into the grind. Bear in mind, the networks willfully go to commercial breaks whenever the panthers are on the clock.

 

 

bonus: every single poster here has access to twitter, and tipping the picks early doesn't make you an "INSIDER." We'd all like to be able to discuss the draft on here without having Mr. Wannabe All-Access racing back and forth to the huddle to tip the picks ahead of time, so thanks.

Another pro tip:

 

There is more than one round, so don't get on here and throw a tantrum Thursday night when we didn't select x position.

That's fine as long as G-MAN doesn't give up 3 picks to draft one player we could have gotten anyways...

      If they lose the last three......

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
