Yeah. I would rather we suck on defense then getting our #1 overall pick killed. the chiefs invest heavily in the oline year after year after year. Both our guards had pretty serious injuries to end the year. I like Cade mays a lot but drafting another guard or tackle would be wise.

We're also supposed to have a super smart DC who can do more with less, so yeah...

im not too familiar with 3-4 and who would fit better to have a guy slide to a better role. 

but in terms of talent Branch and Sanders are just great players that will find a way on the field and contribute no matter what.

I don't have a preference. Greene and Lathon were fun in the 3-4 in the Capers' years but Peppers, Beason, Davis, etc were fun in the 4-3 too.

3-4 vs 4-3 Is about your front seven. Once you get back to the secondary I don't know that it's makes any huge difference.

I do not think a WR left brings anything to the table we do not already have. 

OG - few guys out there that can be long term players and I wouldnt be upset if we took, but we also like our Gs. I do no think we should draft just because someone might not be ready to start the year. 

Multiple analysts have indicated that overall this year's wide receiver class is nothing special.

I'm always on board with reinforcing the front though.

Brian Branch and Michael Mayer are the best players left and clearly have a talent gap above the rest of the players remaining, you could probably throw Joey Porter Jr. in there as well

Naturally they all probably go picks 1 2 and 3 tonight

If however one of them is there at 39 that would be my pick no hesitation. 

If none of those guys fall I want us to trade down a few spots. 

Tepper kind of tipped our hand last night basically saying we were targeting defense with the pick and we have a glaring hole at edge and Fitty has said multiple times they are targeting it and even considered trading back up for one (god I wish we could have gotten Nolan Smith)

So that being said I think we end up with BJ Ojulari at 39 

I'd add Ojulari in the mix there

I know. And it probably doesn't matter as much these days as it did years ago since teams are trying to disguise things to confuse the QB for a few more seconds than they did in the past.

That's why if the Panthers decide to go pass catcher, they should be open to taking a TE if one is better than available WRs.

Building the Oline though, yeah, they need to invest picks in it every year.

Even before things played out the way they did, Kaye was of the opinion that the team taking a tight end with their second round pick wasn't likely.

It's a deep class though so they could still get a good guy later.

I still think Fitt will try to trade down from 39 at least a few spots to pick up another pick or two.

      2024 College Football Thread

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.

      I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄
