I like some of the Centers in the draft this year.  There are about 4-5 that could go day 2.

Hennessy didn't give up a sack in the last two years under center. Scouting says he's smart, but a bit undersized. Looks like the perfect fit for us and a growing team. Also, that Temple connection is there, even if he and Rhule didn't intersect, he has followed the blueprints that Rhule laid down there.

I think we snag him and benefit for 10 years from it.

Do not be surprised if Cam wins MVP #2

Don’t be surprised if this guy drops another 28 Cam hype threads before the draft.

Don’t be surprised if the Panthers are a laughing stock the next 3 years.

Under estimating by a lot.

I believe 4 QBs will go in the top ten, ALL could go before the panthers pick.

I see Burrow, Tua, and Herbert going top ten rather easy. Then a "surprise" QB being picked too, right now its Love. Still a long ways to go, all it takes is one team.

With a dark horse draft pick winning the Super Bowl, you may see Indy or Tampa Bay move up--maybe Jax.

Last year, nobody saw Daniel Jones going early.  You are right--it takes 1 team.

Let's see what free agency does to this

Dont be surprised if we take no offensive skill position players in the draft and our first two picks are Brown and an edge DE. LB Willie Gay, who just destroyed the combine, is a sleeper in the third

The free agency and trade market for QBs is the best/biggest I can remember. ALL types recent former #1s and #2 overall #8 overall, record holders, young, and old. Trade wise JAX wants to move Foles, Bengals Dalton, Colts Brissett, Rosen again, and Raiders with Carr among a few others.  

Still I heard waaay back that some teams truly Loved Love and have for some time. If you got a top 10 or 15 QB playing on a rookie deal, that value is unmatched. I feel a few teams will make a move for a "big name" QB AND make a move to draft one high too.

After the combine, I am more certain that we will draft a QB or LB Simmons in the first round.  So I will start.  Instead of bashing my heritage and trying to obtain my dental records to prove your point, simply respond with your own, "Don't be surprised if...." That way, I do not have embarrass you so badly you have to change your fake name and icon. 

Seriously--I would like to see this pinned if we get a good variety of answers---I imagine someone will say something that actually happens.  Feel free to share your rationale, unless you rarely or never have one.

Don't be surprised if we draft a QB in round 1 if Herbert or Tua is there.  Here is why I think so.  Cam was just given an "endorsement." Skeptics disagree that it was sincere, huggers threw a parade.  However, let's say the Chargers sign Bridgewater and the Dolphins trade up for Tua and Detroit falls back. Indy and Tampa need a lot of coin to climb that high, but they decide to wait to see what happens because the Panthers (#7) committed to Cam and the Cards have Murray. In fact, I would think that Jacksonville or Las Vegas MIGHT take a top QB if on the board, so the plan could be to trade with Arizona at #8--much cheaper than moving in front of us.  That would mean that the QB falls to the Panthers.  However, they have been so bad at playing Poker this season--or good at it---I would not be surprised to see Cam get traded AFTER or DURING the draft.  So if the Panthers take Herbert, for example, Cam is immediately on the block.  

Don't be surprised if we take Isiah Simmons.  Sam Mills, Dan Morgan, Jon Beason, Luke Keuchly, Lester Towns---(kidding about the last one)--this franchise has had as many good MLBs as the Bears. While I like Murray too, I think Simmons gives the DC more flexibility.  At 240, he ran a 4.39 --just watch his film/tape/video clips. The Midway Maulers played in a different era--and Simmons (4.39--who does that?) gives you the athleticism we just lost. Yes, we need DTs and Brown/Kinlaw are awesome, but I get the feeling we are going to build the defense this year---and I think we could take the elite LB to team with Shaq.  It is hard to imagine Marty not taking the safest player in the draft, one that gives him an immediate "attaboy" in the fall.  Marty loves to draft LBs. 

Another point---after Murray (4.53, 240), who is there to play ILB?  Why not take a LB that can cover any RB/TE on the field?  A guy who can play FS, SS, 3-4 OLB, 4-3 ILB and OLB? 

After Kinlaw and Brown, if that is your taste, you still have some solid DTs--several of them---but if you want an elite LB--they will be gone.

I still think the pick is Simmons or Herbert.  However, do not be surprised if a team like the NYG or Lions surprise us all and take him.

Thank God February is OVER!!

 

 

Simmons in a HEARTBEAT...

Don't be surprised if our third round pick is Temple C Matt Hennessy. Don't even be surprised if he's our second rounder.

Take him just for his last name being Hennessy.
