I know a lot of the discussion right now centers around who will be available versus who could have been available if we had the higher pick.

Who are some of the guys you're hoping for but aren't counting on?

Who are some of the realistic possibilities?

In the end all we did was drop 8 spots. 

In every single round. The cumulative value is roughly an early 2nd round pick. That's what we cost ourselves by winning a completely meaningless game.

Yeah, I'm pissed about it but whatever. What's done is done.

Funny enough the Hornets are soon going to find themselves in the same position as the Panthers.

Regardless, the story is always going to be the same. Competitors like to compete and Kyle Allen was going to play to win regardless of what we as a fanbase wanted.

This. Other than resting key starters, which we did, I'm not sure what else you do to lose. Throw intentional interceptions? Fumble on purpose? Try not to tackle?

 

 

I'm honestly curious what you tell someone like Kyle Allen to do in this situation. Don't try? Not a single one of you would tell these players in person to lose.

only reason we won that game is because the saints didn't try or care.

we should play to win every game and we probably would a lot more if that was the most important thing to rivera and he did whatever was necessary to win.

Not completely done.

Who will be available, and who won't be, when we pick will be a direct result of our final record, and that game.

So until the draft is actually completed and we see the results, it's not quite over.

I believe the highest we could have picked is 7th, if Quinnen Williams is sitting there at 7 I'll be pretty bummed.

As for our pick, I'd be happy with adding Greedy Williams to our defensive back room as you can't go wrong with an LSU DB and I also wouldn't be opposed to Devin White if the Panthers are truly intent on going to more 3-4 looks (they would also have to be satisfied with White's ability to play OLB in a 4-3 scheme as well). 

And I may be in the minority but I like Clelin Ferrell over Sweat even if both are there. Ferrell already has Everson Griffinesque ball get off skills he just needs to work on his technique. Ferrell is also already doing it at 260, I'm worried what an additional 15 to 20 pounds will do to Sweat.

      2025 Schedule Release - post 'em when you find 'em

      So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
