There were multiple reports Panthers loved the kid and pats still traded back at 98 knowing panthers had pick 100...lol at thinking the patriots were seriously considering him. 

They was going to pick him at 101. They moved out of spot after we picked him, it was pretty obvious.

If they really wanted him they would’ve just picked him at 98 instead of trading back to pick up a 6th round pick. Clearly valued the 6th more than Grier.

I believe it. My Pats fan friends were legit shocked/pissed when we picked him. They were expecting to get him in the third. Belichick doesn't flinch during the draft, and probably thought we'd draft someone else there like the rest of us did. I doubt he felt he needed to trade up or pick early to beat us out. Besides, Kraft and Brady would have run Grier out of town the way they did Garoppolo, so he was probably not sweating the pick that hard anyway.

      Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.

      Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha.

      Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
