What if Adams, Fournette, and Thomas are all there at 8? Who is the pick?

What do you think?

Thomas seems like the surest bet as the #2 DE in the draft dropped to 8 you'd have to take him right? Seems very intelligent, really high motor. This would be my choice, the stars just seem to align for getting a really good DE prospect and having Peppers come back, and us having DE veterans galore. 

But Fournette fits almost exactly what the team is looking for in a young power RB to groom behind Stewart and take Pressure of Cam. I'm personally a little dubious of Fournette because he's not very shifty and I don't know if his power game translates to the NFL. I'd be cautiously hopeful if Fournette was the pick. 

However Adams could end up being our very own Eric Berry , in an ideal senario with a DB coach as D-Cordinator now , with another seasoned Adams to mentor him. 

Or do you think something else might happen?

Scary thing is that I think a scenario like this may happen. QBs are going higher than people anticipate there will be trades to grab these guys with Jets, Bills, Browns, Cardinals all wanting one. I trust Gettleman will make the right choice for the franchise because they are all fantastic players. I would say Adams if he's there is the guy. You can still get a good RB and Pass Rusher in round 2. Your not getting a guy like Adams outside the top 10. Fournette would be my second choice. Thomas just does t seem like a Gettleman DE. Gettleman likes big freaks like Taco.

Trading down to get a guy like O.J, or one of the really good RBs would be great for our struggling offense. And we can use extra picks to fill the hole at WR, and add depth at LB and OT. Luke and Oher could be concussed again and we need to have better talent behind them. Should be an amazing draft with such high picks and teams looking to trade up for QBs. So sweet.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      I’m pretty sure we did end up getting the first in that drive, but I don’t remember. It was obviously a catch the ball didn’t move

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      While I don't think NFL games are fully rigged, it's certainly closer to a scripted outcome than we all think. The NFL by their own admission in court is not a fair and balanced sporting event. It is a managed entertainment product, a "spectacle" as they've put it, that now has sports betting as a huge financial pillar of their business model. It's ridicuously naive to still think the NFL isn't using referees to manage the games towards certain outcomes, using "replays in the booth" and overturning calls, choosing to overlook penalties at critical moments and calling questionable and sometimes phantom game changing penalties at other critical junctures of games. The NFL has always done this going as far back as the '60s, and they were investigated by the FBI in the '70s which found a large number of ownership groups had ties to the mob. So when the overwhelming majority of the moneyline bets were on the Panthers vs the Saints last week, and suddenly we see some strange and ticky tack penalties we've rarely seen called on the Panthers all year, I just know there's more going on behind the scenes. And suddenly next week, the Panthers will probably be nudged to a win, to keep the NFC South race interesting, as I see the Bucs are the favorite as of now and most moneyline bets will trend towards the Bucs until during the game when the Bucs are leading heading into the 4th quarter, and the Panthers are nudged to a win. At least, that's what the NFL and Vegas probably want to happen.
