Iowa vs Kentucky is also happening now on ABC in the Music City Bowl. Levis is sitting this one out.

I don't blame him but I'm not sold on the least on him. I can't be convinced that spending a high 1st rounder on pure raw talent that will be 24 when he puts on an NFL jersey is a good idea. We aren't talking about a 20 or 21 year old here. We're talking about a guy who will be the age of a typical 2nd or 3rd year NFL player. When you consider that, the shine wears off Levis very quickly IMO.

I wouldn't take Levis in the first round if I was a GM unless it was one of the last 2-3 picks. He just doesn't strike me as an NFL QB.  If the choice was him or Richardson, I hope the Panthers swing for the fences and go Richardson.

Absolutely agreed. Maybe I'm wrong and Levis will be great and he was just held back by an subpar situation at Kentucky. Completely possible.

But yeah, I see a superior physical talent in Richardson who is significantly younger and who was also on a subpar situation at Florida. I don't even think it's close between the two unless interviews determine there's a wide gap that isn't evident from the play on the field.

I'd much rather go with the younger talent even if the rest is equal since you'd have him longer unless injuries derail his career. I've never seen an interview with Richardson, but his teammates seemed to love him and as you've stated before, fans don't get any info from the draft process interviews.

I've seen some interviews. He's no Peyton Manning but he doesn't seem like a moron either.

Vaughn is one tiny dude compared to the other players. He would still make a decent late round pick and part of a RB stable in the NFL.

Curious to see how he translates. Darren Sproles and MJD did just fine. You could consider a guy like Danny Woodhead too.

I do think he has to get up to at least 185 or so.

It would probably be his second NFL season before he added the needed muscle unless he really hits the gym this offseason.

      For the Cap gurus..

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I like the approach Morgan takes in free agency where we fill holes with at least serviceable players and use the draft for BPA. So, I expect us to bring in a Safety, 1 really good LB and 1 kinda so so vet LB in case they lose faith in Wallace, an edge rusher, and with ickey's injury I think we will be the team that overpays for a LT like Rasheed Walker with the plan to move him to RT depending on Ickey's health and how long Moton wants to play.

      Mike Kaye’s take: 2026 NFL free agency predictions

      By csx · Posted

      Look at Rashid Saheed contract for 2024. He was more productive than Coker but probably a good reference. I think it was 1 year 5.2 million.

      I expect the same strategy as we did last year. 3 year deals for guys around 25 to 28 years old and have the cap number be lower in 2026 and back load the contracts for 2027 and 2028 when our cap space is 100 million in 2027 and 360 million in 2028. With the years of terrible drafting this team had under Rhule and Fitterer and the lack of picks from all the panic QB trades has made it where we have few long-term contract commitments on the roster.  I'm sure there's probably some restructures and cuts we can make to give ourselves some more room this year if we need it but overall, our cap situation is in a good spot under Dan and Brandt.  I think we'll be pretty big spenders again this year. With us making the playoffs and being in a weak division I see Morgan being pretty aggressive this offseason.
