Thank God, I have zero interest in seeing this dude in black and blue.  

I'd be cool with getting him at 40 if he fell there but otherwise, too early to take him. Trade down to 12, still not thrilled. Trade into back of first for him, no thanks.

This McC pre-draft hype stuff is insane. I see Denver getting him at 20, which is still very high for him. Before all this pre-draft hype he was looking like a early to mid 2nd rounder.

He blew up after the combine.  This is the case for at least one or two players every. single. year.  OBJ is a prime example, I remember around Jan or so we felt good about our chances to land him late in the first round.  Come draft day he was a lock to go in the top 16.  McCaffrey absolutely carried Stanford to a Rose Bowl where he made a great defense look lost.  Should have won the Heisman and it shouldn't have been close.  At the combine, teams saw he is far more than just a running back and a lot of the myths about him have become debunked.  That's why he's risen so much, he's earned it and should be picked in the top 10 imo.

In late February and early March after the combine, in the media McC was still considered a late first rounder, possible early rounder. The rise to top 10 consideration came well after the combine. McC has good agents.

No, he's just an incredible offensive weapon.  I read a scouting report on him that had one of his WEAKNESSES as "sometimes he pushes his teammates too hard."  The dude is more dangerous than anyone else in this draft in open field.  If he were to become a Panther, he would embody everything that is great about the Keep Pounding slogan and this franchise as a whole.  You want to evolve an offense?  He's the player you take.  Not Fournette.

    • I mean I think its a bit disingenuous to call basically anyone here a casual fan. I don't think the casual fan creates a profile then logs into it, in the offseason, to comments on mundane offseason topics.. I dont think anyone on here would be considered a casual fan. That said, I get your point. My POV is from the player. They sign this contract, move their family because of these contracts. When Clowney came him, we basically had a coming home party for him.  So yeah, I get why we did it and I know that ultimately the owner doesnt 'save' money, but I can feel for the human side of the player, which is why I want them to get all they can while they can. 
    • My guess is the NBA will either send Flagg back “home” to the Northeast in Brooklyn or Washington, or San Antonio so that they can keep building around Wemby. If I was a betting man I would take the odds on the Spurs. This definitely feels like a #1 pick that they will rig.
    • In fairness, she is ensuring she is talked about.  People really aren’t going out there way to bring her up.  It’s some weird poo.  She would end up getting talked about given her actions if she was 40. Bill realizing some of these high end “companions” got a game of their own.  That’s what I don’t think Bill saw coming.
