A NFL team should not plan to tank for the highest draft pick

If they have any pride at all, then play the hardest you can to win. If you suck and lose out, that's fine.

If playing with half hearted effort and a losing mentality, then go the fug home. I'd rather have a team that gives 110% then one that drags ass across the field in a losing effort. 

Never a sure thing in the draft. Play to win and let the chips fall where they may.

What do you want them to? Just lay down and give up? Yes Pride....in themselves as men. You always give the best effort you can at your profession.

More often then not the #1 overall does not end up changing the course of a franchise (just looking back on the last 30 years of #1 overalls).  It would be much better if Wilks managed to turn some things around this season and identify core players to build around.

There aren't any "psst... let them win" conversations. The conversations with the players and coaches are like this now "psst... the coaches were fired, the players are next, so give it your all."

Even so, it's better if we lose out for draft position. We're not trying to lose, but losing helps us at this point.

      Darin Gantt: Inside the Panthers draft room

      I don't go in for the draft crush stuff because it usually just ends up in people going off the deep end for "their guy". Surprisingly our OL staff has been pretty impressive the last few years. Don't see any point to be pessimistic about Freeling until we get to see him with some development under his belt in the summer. Either way for the long term the most logical reasoning dictates we made the most sensible investment with the pick given the plethora of circumstances that has revolved around our OL for years now.

      Jake's elbow, or the Kasay out of bounds kick in the Super Bowl.   Luke's first concussion. The dirty hit on Cam in the Super Bowl. If he's going back in time, just pick up Julius Peppers from right before  he headed off to Chicago and bring him to this week, and set him back into the Panthers lineup as a young man again.

      Bain is a beast. I won't deny it. I mentioned it in another thread, but one of Mesidor's sacks was only because Bain shoved Mesidor's body at the quarterback like he was bowling with him. I have never seen anything like it. I hate that the Bucs drafted him. That being said, Bain has to be perfect in order to compete week to week. He plays a high contact position in a game where the most athletic and lengthy have the advantage. I think he will still be a force, but his impact can be minimalized with right blockers and schemes. Freeling has the opposite problem. He's a long limbed, athletic puppy. He has ALL of the advantages physically. He just needs to add strength to his body and improve his technique. In two seasons, Freeling could end up being regarded as one of the best LTs, if not THE best in the game. That's where his potential is. Both have the potential to boom (Freeling's ceiling is much higher though), but Bain has the higher probability to bust. Just looking at it logically.
