Retreads the last 5 years have been painful misses as well so there is really nothing to lose except a few draft picks.

A miss at QB could mean those ‘few draft picks’ turn into missing out on a better QB prospect next year.

Could be, it could also mean we have our long term answer at QB. At some point we have to do something, we know doing nothing will not work.

Oh they've been doing something. It's that they were doing it wrong that has been the problem.

But I HIGHLY doubt we are in the top 5 next year. Even if we rolled with Darnold, Jacoby, or Corral I still think we are out of the top 10.

That's not enough reason to not swing this year. 

Fug this timid crap. If you're confident, you go for it.

I really wonder if any one making these prediction has any hard evidence or its all just uninformed guesswork. Logically the colts should have the best senario for trading up to 1. The have higher picks to trade and Bears wouldnt need to drop that far and probably still wind up with the best defensive player in the draft.

The only equalizing factor would be if the Panthers were willing to trade more picks away than the Colts were wiling to. 

This is kind of a given. If the Colts are offering 3 firsts to move up 3 spots, it would probably take us about a bajillion picks to move up from 9. Most likely they can get at most 2 firsts from the Colts. From us, there are a lot of options. We could do 3 firsts and 1 second this year. Or 2 firsts and a haul of picks this year. The Bears need a lot of players, and I can see them passing on the very, very top tier talent for a load of picks. allowing them to do a 1 offseason overhaul.

From 4 to 1, I don't think the Colts will offer next years pick. I'm in position to get one of the top 3 regardless of whether its at 1, 2, or 3. If they like all of them why would they drop capital. I think it will be harder to pry away more picks from the colts than the Panthers. It's a matter of if thy want to drop to 9 or not.

If it was Rhule or Rivera or Fox &co....I'd be worried.

With this crew we've got, if they are this sold on someone, I'm sold. 

If they are confident enough to make a move like that, then I'm excited. 

They know the risk and the cost better than anyone in here, but they (collectively) also know the job and the position better than most in the league.

Why?

Colts feels like a team that is constantly over thinking it. I don’t think they will get their act together and trade up. But that is some wild speculation on my end.

      Wasn’t Bryce involved in getting Canales?

      Mike Kaye, East West Shrine practice standouts and prospects

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Carolina spent draft picks on Shrine Bowl alums, tight end Mitchell Evans and Jimmy Horn Jr., last year. The Panthers have also had success in recent years with finding undrafted talent (Jalen Coker, Bam Martin-Scott and Jared Harrison-Hunte) at the annual all-star game.   1. Jaden Dugger, ILB, Louisiana (East) The 6-foot-4, 240-pound linebacker made the play of the day on Saturday with a pick in 11-on-11 drills. He also had an interception in 11-on-11 work on Sunday as well. He has long arms and a nastiness to him. While he stands out as a big, tall player at his position, his instincts and lateral quickness in practice were just as impressive as his size. His nearly 35-inch arms also help him clear out traffic in the box and make up space in coverage. Dugger had seven sacks in two years at Louisiana. 2. Jalen Huskey, DB, Maryland (West) The 6-foot-1, 199-pound safety had a strong Saturday workout. He broke up a pass in 7-on-7 coverage drills early in the practice. Later, he made a diving pass breakup in the end zone during 11-on-11 red zone drills. Huskey has some grittiness to his game, but his coverage was his strength in Frisco. Huskey had 11 interceptions during his college career, which began at Bowling Green.   3. Mason Reiger, OLB/DE, Wisconsin (East) At 6-foot-5 and 245 pounds, Reiger’s “get off” as an edge rusher is lightning quick. He was able to get the better of Penn State offensive tackle Nolan Rucci on a couple of occasions in team drills on Sunday. When Reiger can win with speed, it allows him to set up other rushing approaches throughout a matchup. During one rep, he blazed off the line before hitting a spin move mid-rush, which led to immediate pressure on the opposing QB in 11-on-11 drills. Reiger spent his first four years at Louisville before transferring to Wisconsin this past season. He had 13 career sacks in four seasons on defense. 4. Eric Rivers, WR, Georgia Tech (West) Rivers was a big play machine during the first three days of workouts. And when he wasn’t catching passes, he was drawing penalties on defenders. While he stands a hair under 5-foot-10 and weighs 179 pounds, Rivers plays like a much bigger receiver. He has excellent body control and leaping ability, and he uses his compact frame well to ward off defenders with the ball in the air. He won on several different routes, and he has quality burst off the line. Rivers reminds this beat writer of Brandin Cooks a lot. Rivers spent two years at Florida International before transferring to Georgia Tech this past season. He had 2,173 yards and 16 touchdowns during his three years of college ball.   5. Chip Trayanum, RB, Toledo (East) It’s one thing to see impressive natural speed with a running back. It’s another to watch a ball-carrier glide as a runner. Trayanum has a glide to his game. He did a nice job catching the ball during team drills. He also made some impressive cuts out of the backfield. Trayanum appears to be a guy that’s capable of playing all three downs. Trayanum played six college seasons with four different programs, but he produced 1,015 rushing yards during his one year at Toledo. 6. Riley Mahlman, OT, Wisconsin (West) The 6-foot-8, 304-pound lineman looks the part. He has very good balance as a pass blocker. During 1-on-1 drills this past weekend, he did a nice job of clearing opposing defenders out of harm’s way. He also had some really nice run reps during individual drills. Mahlman was probably the most impressive blocker of the tackles in Frisco this past weekend. 7. Honorable mentioned:  Syracuse P Jack Stonehouse (East), Texas A&M DT Albert Regis (West), North Carolina CB Marcus Allen (East), LSU TE Bauer Sharp (West), South Carolina OLB Bryan Thomas Jr. (East), Duke OLB Wesley Williams (East), Navy RB/WR Eli Heidenreich (East), Florida State DL Darrell Jackson Jr. (East), Clemson QB Cade Klubnik (East)

      Jets might hire Reich, he hasn’t had a good offense in years.
