I didn't know that Anderson performed surgery on Demaryius Thomas' foot.

"Dr. Robert Anderson, an orthopedic surgeon for the Carolina Panthers, removed bone marrow from Thomas' hip and injected it into the area of the fracture, which was repaired with a pin. A few days after that, Thomas flew to Indianapolis for the Combine, hobbling his way around on crutches."

Will history repeat itself? ;)

Like I said in the draft forum, if the picks remain as they currently are, Bryant will be the only receiver taken in the first round.

Even then, some teams will make the safe pick at CB or OL, instead of risk the drama...

Sure, Braynt, Tate, and Thomas could all be gone by the end of the first... But this is a passing leage for most defenses, and there are a lot of teams in the mid to late first that would spring on a CB over a WR... Owens and a handful of role players are still floating around out there, whereas a lot of the DB FA well is now dry...

Even with his issues, someone will take a chance with Bryant if he slips down into the 20s imo.

The only thing that worries me is if guys like Tate, Thomas, and Benn ARE still around in the second, they'll be scooped up by the teams at the top fairly quickly. I don't even know if trading with KC would get us Thomas or Tate.

at this point, I am fairly certain it would... A lot of teams see the depth of the class and the talent that is going to be available early to mid third, and will address other needs first...

just my opinion, and I hope it holds true for the Panthers..

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.

      Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
