So, we're sitting at #8 in a draft that could have five or six good QBs in it, a couple of which would even be available in the second round when our pick came in. We have no real offensive line. We're cheering defensive pick ups that have injury histories or just one decent season of work. 

Why the hell are we going to give it all away to try and nab a big name QB with a huge contract who will want to run the organization? Either Watson or Wilson will be that guy. Guaranteed if they get here and they will be surrounded by a team hamstrung for salary cap AND draft picks so there's no way to really build around them except for some street-level JAGs. We will have a further disgruntled superstar on a team that's going nowhere and you and I will be stuck watching them. 

And if this is what the owner wants, he's a dumbass who doesn't understand the sport, and he will have killed the career of the Head Coach he was willing to give anything to to get here. 

Just scout the college candidates, make a frikkin' pick at #8 or trade for the #1 pick. Quit dickin' around you stupid hedge wizard weasel.

3 1st rounders, a 3rd rounder and 2 starters is way too much for someone on the wrong side of 30. I'm pretty sure an article came out saying he was hit more than any other QB in the league. His body will begin to break down way before Drew Brees or Tom Brady's did. 

He's not on the wrong side of 30! 

Look, I get the whole not wanting to give up so much. I do! That's debatable! But only people thinking really in terms of the 80s or even the 90s think that 32 is old I today's NFL. Wilson, Stafford and Rogers are still playing at a high level with arms as big as they ever were, and certainly enough to push the ball down field. Even the Brady has a noodle arm narrative has proven to be false (as I suspected and intimated somewhere on these servers within the last two years)!

We did hire a GM who is supposed to be a draft expert...maybe go with our strengths at this time?

I'm with you, Tepper pulls this trigger and he is a fugging Jones level moron owner playing with his billion dollar toy.

      It is.  Even the mid to late round guys are super appealing and would have been ahead of Trevin in his drafft.  Deontae Lawson - just look his stuff up, lot's to like Jimmy Rolder - absolute force.  Limited sample size but the sample is pretty dope.  (one of my favorite sleepers) Keyshaun Elliott - stud run defender, great size/length, is always wrapping plays up, high IQ.  Even this dude Owen Heinecke is an interesting guy.  Not some dog in the middle but will absolutely be an asset for particular teams (I.E. Minny would be an awesome fit)

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      It's not explicitly saying it, it's suggesting that we draft a certain position, regardless if the receiver has the higher grade.  We would never had made the playoffs without T-mac. Morgan did the absolutely right thing, and that's what I hope he continues to do in the draft, which is follow the board and draft impact players. He used free agency to set up the draft for just that purpose. For anyone that thinks last season was anything but an improvement, I don't know what to tell 'em.  The goal is to keep the momentum going, and I'd say that addressing our three biggest needs with arguably the best players at their respective positions this free agency, and legit quality players to boot, goes along way toward building the foundation of long term success. Before free agency, no one was picking us to win the division, now more than a few analysts are, and that's before the draft. Pull your bootstraps up where you are and get to work. We aren't as good as we need to be, but the needle is moving in the right direction.

      The Bengals absolutely fuged up paying Higgins elite WR money. You can't have your QB and two WRs eating up your whole cap or you end up with... well, the Bengals. Your QB is getting killed because your OL is trash and you can't stop anybody because your D is trash because you can't afford a balanced roster. Unless you're smacking it out of the park in the draft you're gonna be hard pressed to put a good team on the field despite an elite QB and WRs.
