It's happening. (Probably)

If we're THAT committed to this plan that's a HUGE concern. I'm never a fan of going all-in on something when there are plenty of factors beyond your control. All in on a Cam or Luck or Trevor Lawrence when you're holding the #1 overall pick? Fine. Hell, all in on an RG3 when you're the Redskins and have traded for the #2 overall pick? Fine. But all in on a guy you're going to have to trade a fortune to get, his team is trying not to trade, and who is facing multiple allegations of sexual assault? Fug...

Yeah that'd be a "hell no / WTF are you thinking / you're an absolute moron" moment.

No way in hell I want to see anything like that happen.

If it’s not close to being resolved by draft day, we should just trade up and select Fields or Lance.

Why trade up for them? They're both going to be there 8.

I’m not convinced we’ll need to trade up. We’re sitting at the edge of one of those guys falling to us. We’ll need to trade up to guarantee one of them but we may get away with sitting tight .

Even better!

I'm still trading up to 3 for a QB in every PFF mock draft simulator I do during my free time at work, so good thing for the Panthers is they have options and are in position to go forward either way

Watson is the shoot for the moon option, but the team has been planning on finding a QB in the draft the entire time too, they were at Lance's Pro Day, so either way they're upgrading there.

If they're drafting a guy, I'd hope they can force the traded draft picks to next year

Pretty much.  I'm sure they already knew about the allegations before they came public. But now that he's not going to be there, whether true or not, they're not going to help him cover it up anymore. That's my take.  

So if they were holding it and keeping victims down and out they should just have that franchise revoked and start up a new expansion team.

I think we'll stay at 8 and select our QB and trade back in the 2nd, adding more picks to select players adding depth to our OL and CB room.

One of them? Maybe. Both of them? I'd be shocked.

Trade up? We can trade back into the second round and get Lance.

He’s not going to be off the exempt list by opening week without proof McNair was behind this and even then the NFL is going to be in a even worse poo. This is going to take time in courts unless it’s thrown out on standing. The NFL won’t make a move until the courts resolve it. 

That would be the biggest poo-storm in the history of pro sports if it were actually true.  McNair would probably be forced to sell his team, and end up in prison.

The latest filing alleges that Watson forced oral sex.

This just went to a new level.

Think this could cause Texans asking price to plummet?

Nobody is trading for Watson now.
