Yes, the Underwear Olympics are upon us.  Tomorrow stats the checking-in process and then the weighing/measuring.  Drills start on Thursday.  Here's a link to look at the participants and keep up with the official recordings.

Any particular players you guys are interesting in following during this process?

I want to know who the Panthers are talking to.

I won't have time to watch it.  You can sometimes get a glimpse of coaches/scouts/GMs chatting it up with guys.  They don't speak to everyone, but often times it's just guys talking and not necessarily meaning serious interest in that player.

same here.

at WR... lol there's a list of 20+ i'm interested in and that i would like to get 2-3 of.

There are a few TEs i'm interested in. aside from Sanders after our 1st pick most are later round guys. Erick All, Jared Wiley, and Spann-Ford.

At RB i'd like a good powerhouse/workhorse back. Estime, Isaiah Davis, and Ray Davis. Frank Gore Jr is just a curiosity to me. Isaac Guerendo is just fun to watch and he plays pissed off. 

Then it jumps to defense and i'm really interested in Kris Jenkins (would be great to have another one here).  I want a couple LBs...Trotter, Edge Cooper, Payton WIlson, Cedric Gray, Tommy Eichenberger. I would love to score 2 of them because i think they fit the classic LB mold we had in our better days.

I haven't paid too much attention to the DBs, but I know there are a few CBs who could help us out.

WR is probably my only interest. Normally enjoy watching the combine and reading about who did well, especially in the positional drills. Since we don’t have our 1st rounder, it has taken a good chunk of the fun out of the draft process.

For the folks that think the combine is a silly show and doesn’t matter just remember how good Stroud looked in the QB drills and that Young didn’t participate.

aside from Sanders

If we can address the WR position through Free Agency and grab some good talent.  I'm done with the Chark type players too.  Give me top tier WR and we should get Sanders if he falls to 33.  I have seen a couple of sites that really like this guy.   I, to be honest, am not very up on college players but if this guy is the real deal we definitely could use him.   Our TE group has been terrible since Olsen left us.

Interesting, we have a lot of the same guys on our radars, TEs and RBs.  I think we have to take an edge for Burns insurance.  Agreed on DBs, there is plenty of depth there, but with all the other needs, i have put them on the back burner in terms of researching them too.

Estime is going to be gone as I think 4th round is the highest we take a RB.  I also like Allen as a pure slobber-knocker back.  Dude's as big or bigger than LBs.  Any RB under 220 is off the table for me.  Wiley is a TE we can probably grab in the 6th round. 

I would like a 1-tech since we are staying with a 3-4.  Not too many nose tackles in this draft.  T'Vondre Sweat would be ideal, but I doubt we take a DT in the second round, let alone at #33.

True and unfortunately this isn't the draft to try to replace him. It's Brock Bowers and a bunch of JAGS.

yeah, sanders would automatically be the best TE we've had since Olson, but the bar isn't exactly set high there. still i think he's a beast.

great call on Allen. we need some thunder. we haven't had that in a long time, either. not since stewart. CMC was great (when healthy) but he wasn't exactly a punishing back that's going to push the pile. that's the kind of guy we need teaming up with chuba.

Carson Steel is a punishing RB i'm really liking too and he could be available late like wiley at TE.

this is going to be a nice deep draft i think.

I get sick to my stomach watching Pacheco from KC.  The guy runs so hard and is so beastly. He was a 7th rounder.  I would love to grab a nasty like him in the 4th or 5th.

The problem is there is almost never top tier WR talent available in FA - this year is the same.  We won't have a shot at anyone above Marquise Brown, who is a high caliber #2.  We draft or we don't get a top tier.

      Dak Prescott

      By Saca312 · Posted

      Adding on to that - I know I read from some reporter that Dak Prescott's mentality is extremely fragile. Get in his head, and he loses focus and confidence. Per that reporter,  anytime a big game comes up, he starts to have the jitters and hasn't seem to overcome that slump. Dak would be an upgrade over Bryce as things currently stand. But Dak has not proven he can play in games that matters without choking. Bryce hasn't had the chance to show anything in the NFL, so nothing much to say there. But based on his history, he's done well in college in the national championship. Theoretically he should be more confident in big games if he gets to that point. For that alone, I'd rather keep rolling the dice on Bryce or set our sights higher. I wouldn't touch Dak with a 10 ft pole given his choking habits.

      The Untold Story of Xavier Leggette

      By shaq · Posted

      Same here brother, love Xavier I think he’s gonna become a quick fan favorite of the team. He already has gone viral for his country accent, we have no face of the franchise currently outside of maybe Derrick Brown in terms of media attention. I would not be surprised if in the next 4 years Xavier becomes that media darling we used to have in the 2010s with Luke, Cam, Josh Norman, CMC, etc.

      I haven't been high on any of the WRs we drafted in the past.   This kid though is someone I actually wanted. I have a feeling we finally hit big with this kid. I'm expecting him to be a DJ Moore caliber WR.
