NFL execs: it’s going to take 3 first rounders at least for DeShaun Watson.

Just a 'best case' scenario here for us on an upward trajectory...

Pick #8 in 2021 - CMC level

Pick #24 in 2022 - Shaq level

Pick #28 in 2023 - Vernon Butler level

 

If you wouldn't trade those 3 players for a Top 5 franchise QB, welp.  And yes, we could draft HOF unicorns with all 3 of those firsts, just like we could draft Ryan Leaf level busts for the next 3 drafts.  If the price is 3 1st rounders and that's it, no brainer call it in.  If it's 3 firsts AND players, then it's a potential issue.

That's an interesting take but you also have to consider that you cannot predict where those other 2 first's will fall.  They could just as easily be CMC level as easily as they could be Vernon level.

You could also draft a Pro bowl level QB anywhere in the draft or even an UDFA.  It's a crapshoot.

This is a losers bet by going all in on one player.

Any conversation that includes vernon Butler as part of a "best case scenario" is flawed.  Great players can be picked anywhere in the draft.  Having a pick between 25 and 32 does not equate to lesser talent.  It often does mean lesser positional value.  Devil's advocate scenerio.

Pick 8 in 2021.  Shutdown corner or gamebreaking new breed MLB that replaces luke.  I.e. Surtain or Parsons.

Pick 19 in 2022.  A left tackle or wr overlooked that becomes class of draft like wirfs or Justin Jefferson this past year.

Pick 28 in 2023.  Overlooked and underappreciated QB slips in draft and turns out to be MVP type.  Like Lamar Jackson.  

Just saying.  Yeah I get it watson is a winning lottery ticket but what if your trading a one time payoff for three winners that could result in a Dynasty.

I put some used underwear on facebook marketplace for 10 bucks a pair knowing good and well they would eventually sell for 6

This is why I love capitalism.  An exchange between willing buyers and sellers  sets the free market price for used underwear at $6.  No price supports, no production caps or quotas.  Well done, Jeremy, we’ll done.  [Polite golf clap 👏]

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
