Is Rome Odunze Falling?

They go through weird phases like that. You'll see guys like Brock Bowers going in the top 3 one moment And then you've got him available at 33 the next time and then he's back in top 5.

I try not to take it as exact players when I mock, even though there's guys I prefer over others. I think it's more about positions that would be available at that moment.

But the draft itself in reality is really wonky because there's guys that you and everyone are sure are going to go early who inexplicably fall and then there's others that go much earlier than all the experts go.

You never know what really any team has in mind when they go into the draft and you can't predict what they will do when their board changes.

Maybe teams see a player fall that they were sure would have gone earlier all of a sudden fall a bit below where you thought they would go and then think maybe other teams passing them by know something you don't so you pass them as well. So many reasons for players falling where you think they shouldn't.

We think we know where players should go, but we don't know how individual teams actually perceive players that we mock to them.

So basically, as crazy as it is to see Rome there, it's good to see stuff like that happen because it prepares you for the actual craziness of draft day.

No one is falling right now, nor rising.  Thats all sports media.  Team boards have been set for a while now but youre going to hear all kinds of changes reported because thats what sports media has to do.   Odunze is clearly locked in at wr #3 at worst.  Nabers is the one the media is actually trying to push down right now "leaking" a lot of stuff about teams having character concerns.

Yeah that's the weird thing to me. What can these guys possibly do to raise or lower their "stock"?

It's all completely speculative in behalf of the draftniks who all feed off each other's takes.

    • The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?
    • I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this! 
    • in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
