Rhule says there are multiple players still available that they have 2nd and 3rd round grades for.

Maybe they will package the picks to move up into the late 4th--their board is only 150 players, so if they get 2 tomorrow, we could be done.

That's my thinking - I wouldn't be surprised if we have two high 4th round picks tomorrow and call it a night.

I honestly expect them to trade away the 4th rounders for low picks next year. The way they are drafting, it really doesn't seem like they wanted many of the guys in this draft class at all.

It's frustrating to wait for our pick only to see us trade down (especially when I am watching at 6am in the morning) but the last trade was quite fruitful.  We have a chance to get a couple of players early in the 4th round (late 3rds).  Plus we have recuperated the 4th round we gave away to NYJ.  As of now, we only need to recuperate a 2nd and Darnold was free.  (JOKE)

Let's hope we are planning on doing something with those picks next year. I am not sure how much use the pile of 4th and 5th rounders will be other than fixing our persistent depth issues. 

Packaging to make them into better draft picks would be nice. I do wonder if we use them to trade for players. Maybe we plan on doing more building that way? Seattle was fairly active in that world, IIRC.

Anyone watch the presser? Rhule looks like he was doing blow all night.

Football is his blow. 

 

Seriously. I am not kidding. The guy gets more excited about it than anyone I have ever met.

It’s pretty clear they are going BPA to match Rhule and Fitt’s design. I could see us giving up a couple six’s but I wouldn’t be surprised if we try to trade back again. I do really like what we’ve done so far. But it does seem that we could be over valuing players dependent on what this coaching staff can do with them though. 
 

That said I’m very curious that the TE we drafted had a panthers hat ready to go. Did he just buy a hat for each team? Did the NFL send them hats or was he that sure he was going to end up a panther?

The league sent them a hat from all 32 teams before the draft. Did this last year as well.

    • Honestly, I view the rest of this season like every game is a division game - meaning you can throw the records out.  Throw the perceived favorites out.  Every week, we have to show up and punch them in their mouth.  We’re gonna have to gut it out.  We can’t go into games against well coached teams and think, “well, the Rams already got that one, McVay is just too good of a coach and they’re too talented.”  “Can’t beat the Niners.  Shanahan is one of the best and they just play everyone so tough, even with injuries.”  We have to go into each game feeling like everyone counted us out and we have to show them why they’re wrong.  And speaking of the Niners - that’s the exact blueprint we need to be looking at - for the last, it seems like at least 5 years, they have been decimated with injuries.  And they still contend to win their division and make a run in the playoffs every year.  Even while starting a plethora of QBs.  Even with their best defensive players being out for the bulk of seasons…  their DNA doesn’t change.  They compete.  Their standard is winning and nothing less, so even if you’re the 3rd stringer forced into action, either show up and play to that level or find another team.  This should be our approach and I think the Saints game was an important wake up call… I occasionally listen to whatever ESPN show is on sports radio in the mornings with Chris Camry and I believe it was after we beat the Packers, they asked him about us and he said, “they’re a young team learning how to win.”  And that is about as accurate or a description as you can get.  It explains the hiccups and the struggles.  But it also explains why it looks so good when we put it all together.  What we need now is our guys to have that light bulb come on as a collective and never look back.  I hope last week was the start of that and it continues tonight and for the rest of the season..
    • The veterans played better last night and they actually were looking for Kon but Bridges and Sexton went for a combined 2-15 from three. That is so bad.
    • https://www.talkbasket.net/206848-lamelo-ball-frustrated-by-hornets-struggles-amid-durability-concerns "Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball is reportedly frustrated by the team’s lack of forward progress, according to NBA insider Jake Fischer." Apparently in his mind being perpetually injured and playing less than Gordon Hayward while on a supermax contract has no effect on the forward progress of the franchise.
