I learned that Sam Bradford was on the Panthers last year from a poster on there.

From Falcons fans on their forum and many there say we will still pretty much be a bad team.

I actually think they have some very valid points.

Time will tell.

They keep slamming our defensive performance last year, which is fair enough, but they're acting as if that's a good basis to project how the defense will do this year, which I don't think holds up.

As of right now, we've heard people "in the know" say we're definitely taking Young, definitely taking Stroud, and definitely taking Richardson. 

Meanwhile, I definitely have no fuging clue who we're taking.

We are definitely taking Deez Nuts

[Mother Grabber]

what happens if we put CJ Young or Bryce Stroud on our card? do we get both?

My guess is Goodell will say Huston is now on the clock. Then look at the person who handed him the card and say try again. Or, he could say f*ck it and make the pick for us.

Trading back for Hendon Hooker. I’ve got an inside source. My buddy busses tables at the Applebees in Rock Hill. He said Tepper and Reich and Fitterer were in there and they told him it was Hooker. And also Adam Thielen came in too.

I’d figure at the least the defense will be a work in progress with new coaches, plus the new guys and the returning guys will all be at square one. Some new guys may be ahead from playing for Evero before. 
If we are scheduled to play our division games later, it probably helps us. Could be in trouble early just from not having played enough. 

I really think we are gonna run it near Wilks level on offense to try and help the D and the new QB.

No one "knows" anything, most likely.

I'd wager a hefty sum that the organization hasn't decided on "The Guy" yet.

They haven’t made a decision yet, but I’m willing to bet it’ll be between Young and Stroud. 
 

We know both men will impress on the field during their pro days, but I feel they’ll impress even more behind the scenes; at dinners, private meetings, etc

I doubt anyone outside of the organization truly knows. Hell, some within the organization probably don't know. But everything Fitts said about needing to be completely sold on a guy yada, yada, yada before trading up to #1 because you're essentially betting the house on the guy leads me to believe they likely knew who they were going to go get.

Or at least they made sure that they were going to get that guy if the others didn't change their mind.
