Yes!!!  And the odds that we hit on 2 WRs in this draft are even smaller!   Since we added Johnson and have Thielen for another season, maybe we should draft 1 that is most likely to be successful at the next level.  Someone who gets away from press coverage and runs good routes that create separation.  Adding Johnson was HUGE.  Lombardi referenced a stat on McAfee's show that was focused on the success rate of first round WRs--I think it was 27%--the lowest.  That would suggest that second round WRs succeed about 15-20% of the time---making the Panther results not abnormal.

Not checking to see if these rumors have been reported:

 Giants working hard to deal with Pats

While not a rumor, an interesting thought that could involve the Panthers (Think Higgins, Tee):

Atlanta beat writer thinks the Falcons will be an active trader tonight.

JJ McCarthy dropping?  That could influence a lot.

2023 - 3 WRs in round 2 last year.  2 of 3 were instant impact players.

Reed had 912 total yards and 10 TDs

Rice had 935 total yards and 7 TDs. 

Then of course, our pick. 

2022 - 7 WRs in round 2 

3 had 1000K+ seasons as rookies

1 had a 750K= season

1 had a worse season than Mingo did

So what would it take to move from 15 to 4 (Indianapolis trying to get Harrison)?  750 points after swapping first rounders this draft.   Without involving players, that trade would look like:

• Arizona:  Pick 4
• Indianapolis:  Picks 15, 46 and a 2025 first round selection.

From what im seeing the first 3 picks will be QBs, so hey the more qbs go in the first the more players will be available to us.

If the top-4 stays put, I have a hard time seeing LAC staying put.

They become the team NYG and MIN are calling…could see NYG & LAC swapping to assure JJ in NY. The MIN is out of luck/ends up with Penix v Nix.

I don’t think the Giants are too high on JJM

Rumors I have not heard---Jets looking to move up?  Rams?  Pray for OL to last to 31!
