That ship sailed. It's better to just take our medicine this year than scramble to try and recoup the lost draft capital and make it worse in the future.

It's the same thing that got us in trouble last draft, trying to be cute and add extra picks/players. Sometimes you just need to play the board and let that be the smart thing.

That's why I am firmly against trying to trade back into the first. We aren't 1 or 2 players away from being a good team. We can't keep acting like that and making bad trades. 

They preached patience to the fans while being insanely impulsive. They need to actually read the poo they sent us and finallbelieve it.

It was cool to see us working the board for more picks, but it was pretty disheartening to see us trade ourselves down and out of so many OL prospects.  I mean some were a bit banged up but that second tier last year had some really solid rookie campaigns yet we end up with Terrace Marshall as the 2nd rounder.  

Sam Cosmi, Dillon Radunz, Jackson Carman (The bright spot on the Bengals line), Josh Meyers, it was just frustrating.  

If they knew they weren't going to be using TMJ much, I don't know why they didn't take a different approach.  Horn would have been much easier to take in if we just stayed pat and drafted Cosmi.

They got so caught up in winning the fantasy draft points battle that they forgot about the simplest part of the draft....draft the best players.

or just trade 6 to philly for both their 1sts and cost us nothing

Why would Philly trade yo to 6 though? Maybe if a Ja’Marr Chase was sitting there, it would make sense, but whoa would Philly trade up for? I just don’t see. 
 

I don’t want us to trade up either. Either take the QB at 6 or don’t. I’m honestly hoping Neal or Ikem is somehow at 6.

If we're being honest with ourselves, which scenario seems more likely?

A) Corral demonstrates he's a franchise qb, plays early and at minimum puts us into playoff contention, after which we gladly give up a 2023 pick in the teens or

B) We fail to improve in year 1 with Corral and Rhule still at the helm, end up shipping a top 2 pick to Philly next year, letting slip Bryce Young/CJ Stroud/whoever emerges as the cream of the crop from our grasp and are stuck no better than we were at qb.

I mean, scenario B seems at least twice as likely, or is it just me?

      Round 7: The Carolina Panthers select LB Jackson Kuwatch (Miami of Ohio)

      By bigginpc · Posted

      He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.

      This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.

      Round 5: The Carolina Panthers select C Sam Hecht (Kansas State)

      I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
