It's that time of the year for me.

Been talking to my friend (a nfl scout) about some of the prospects in the draft, and as I do every year, I will drop the things that I am hearing from him here that maybe isn't being heard elsewhere. 

Mike Hughes is the best CB in the draft and is a top 15 pick (off field character concerns may push Ward ahead in draft order) 
Calvin Ridley is a blue chip wide receiver prospect and is far ahead of what Corey Davis was coming out 
The top two quarterbacks in this class are better than any qb coming out in five years besides Carson Wentz 
Connor Williams is the best tackle prospect in this draft as opposed to Mike McGlinchey 
People are sleeping on Stanford defensive tackle Harrison Philips, UTEP guard Will Hernandez, Georgia running back Nick Chubb, Iwoa center James Daniels, and Louisville corner Jaire Alexander, all of which he expects to go within the top 40. 

I'll drop whatever else I hear from him here.

No problem guys, I told him I made this, so if you have any questions, throw them my way and I'll ask.

My favorite thread. Thoughts on other wide receivers... safeties?

A couple guys we have talked about that maybe people aren't talking about in the first three rounds:
James Washington 
Keke Coutee 
DJ Moore 
Justin Reid 
Marcus Allen 
Jessie Bates

Carolina should trade down into the 2nd round and pick up another 3rd.  With WR and RB being deep. Go DE, OT/G in round 2 then WR/RB/S in the 3rd round.

You trust Hurney with 2nd and 3rd rounders?

What are you worried about.  If he screws up the picks, he will be replaced next year by new ownership.  If he succeeds, he would have drafted good players and will still be replaced by new ownership.  Win Win.

I'm worried about missing out on cheap good players that are on 4 year contracts....but you are right...at least Hurney will be gone either way.

 

Thanks for the pick me up.

Thanks Verge.

If I recall correctly, your friend is not a Panthers scout. An NFL scout, but not with us.

Most intriguing question to me would be what he thinks of Orlando Brown. Also Shaquem Griffin.

You are right, he is not with the Panthers. 

People are really overreacting to Brown's combine, he did hurt himself, but he isn't going to tank out of the first three rounds. Griffin is an anomaly, no one seems to know where to put him because of his hand, he obviously helped himself. "If I had to guess, somewhere in the 4th round"

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By frankw · Posted

      Oh please with the wallowing in victimhood I'm going to take my ball and go home routine. You were just in here referring to people as super weird haters because they don't completely agree with your borderline delusional spin on what Bryce Young is and isn't as a fourth year starter. We can hope by some miracle that Bryce Young will actually be able to lead a formidable passing offense this season without being irrational homers and pretending verfiable data and what we have seen with our own two eyes doesn't tell us exactly what he has been to this point which is someone who moves the ball at a historically low rate.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      I am curious who's behind all of this though. A video and photos from years ago surfacing? Someone has a vendetta and is driving this PR campaign. I'm loving it, but I'd also like to know who said mystery figure is.

      I say positive things about Bryce when he earns them. Which he has a handful of times. It is all here and on the record but your lobby won’t focus on that or the flat out truth inside of our critical comments.  It is a constant thing with him and his backers - one or two good things and people are trying to extrapolate that to proof we should commit to him, while ignoring or making excuses for the larger portion of his track record.  When he is able to consistently turn in franchise QB extension worthy outings the tone of the posts will reflect that.  I have already said that if he would play like he did in the WC as often as we need him to, I would be okay with keeping him.  See you don’t want to talk about that though because it shows actual fair minded evaluation not stanning.
