We're gonna have a huge 20 UDFA class this year 

We have 66 players under contract.  Looks like we will wind up with 5 draft picks, bringing us to 71.  I assume we will sign another few players in post-draft free agency, bringing us to 74.  That would leave up to 16 spots left for UDFA.

As I see it, our biggest needs are still CB, and OL. I would love to land one of the following:

CB: Ringo or Rush. Both are big, fast guys and excellent value at this point of the draft.

OL:  Zavala, Emil Ekiyor Jr., or Braeden Daniels 

Bonus: Roschon Johnson. Big, punishing RB that loves to block and doesn't fumble. Yes please.

Long snapper! Kicker! Punter! Goalie!

Seriously though, NT.

Abanikanda would be fun at 114.  With the WR room pretty much set, I want someone with afterburners on offense.  

Darius Rush, Kelee Ringo, Jay Ward, Trice, all potential CBs

The guard and tackle class is about to come back into the picture this draft as well.  We may be going that route to protect Bryce.  

Josh Whyle & Zach Kuntz are still viable TEs that could beat out Thomas and/or Tremble for TE2.  Could be a future starter.

3rd down RB. And it’s an area of the draft where you could actually find someone that could play vs be a camp body/project for the first couple years. 

*bonus points if he has punt return ability 

i mean if we are running a dink/dunk offense we need that

My "sources " ( some mystical Huddler who knows more than professional coaches )  tell me ,  that the Panthers will trade back to get the 259 pick in the 7th round,,  to get,  ( you guessed it ) , Mr. irrelevant .

We know this is a copy cat league,, if San Fran can find their  QB Brock Pretty at 259,, you can bet others will  try..   We're trading back, a Clayton Tune type,,  better yet,,  submit names of your favorite QB Division III  or  II ,, Do the research,, find out who Leigh's  QB  was,, or the school of your liking..  Scour the Australian football league even though they don't have a QB ,,

    • Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

    • 2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
