I say Edds because our need at LB is at SLB and Edds is the best pure SLB in this draft.

I agree with you that Thomas is a freak based on his measurables but the intangibles just aren't there and he's a risky pick, but almost all the WRs in this draft have some knock on them. I think Thomas could step in where Moose is now and set the tone as a run blocker but he ran an extremely limited route tree at GT and tends to round off his cuts. He just needs some polish and the Panthers aren't really known for developing WRs.

I'll agree that Thomas is risky, but his upside is off the charts. If you're looking for a safe pick, then he isn't it. But if you are looking for a guy who could be a legitimate top 5 WR in this league, he could be it. If you want safe, you could grab a guy like Damian Williams, who doesn't have nearly the upside, but is more polished. Of course, Dwayne Jarrett was also that guy.

Playing it safe on the WR hasn't worked very well. Personally I think they should stick to drafting other players and pick up FA scrubs to fill in the gaps. I add WR in my mock but I doubt the Panthers pick the ones I like.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
