I think TMac and the Tackles are going to be the BPAs at our pick. I see the two QBs and Hunter, Graham, Carter and Johnson being the top 6. Unfortunately, even if 1 of them fall, I think the Jets will steal that player.

I would be thrilled if we were in the position to draft the top OL, but I dont think Campbell gets by the pats

Not sure how legit this source is. 

 

Not to mention teams put out a lot of interference this time of year with their intentions. 

 

We likely aren't going to get an inside look at the franchises plans and intentions until they happen. But I guess that's what message boards are for.

Considering our needs and our R2-3 draft history, I think you gotta call about Wilson. He would be a prized get, a tier above the other potential trade targets.  See what the deal is and what we could swing.  Why tf not. 

Regarding those other targets, with our FO's obsession with a certain type, it wouldn't surprise me if we call SEA about Metcalf.  Maybe send a feeler out for Deebo too.   Elsewhere, I think Michael Pittman could be a very interesting guy to call about.  He shines any time there's consistent QB play (which has been few and far between in IND)

FA wise, Higgins will obviously be a target, but I just don't see us being the winning bid.  Godwin, I'd actually like to see us pursue.  Outside of that, I don't see anyone jumping out that would want me to push aside Coker & XL's playing time for.  Some of the other proven vets are kind of past the cliff and the young talent is very mid.  Would rather draft competition.

Do not trade another Day 1 or Day 2 draft pick again. Ever. This team is 0-for-infinity doing that.

Completely agree but there are a handful of notable exceptions here. Greg Olsen being exhibit A.

I wouldn't give up draft capital for a #1. This defense is devoid of talent in crucial positions. And this is the draft to greatly improve that side of the ball. We've gotta stop thinking we're smarter than everyone else. Draft defense heavy in a defensive draft. Draft offense heavy in an offensive draft. We did that last year, just gotta get away from those damn RAS scores - and injured players. Side note - I honestly think we could have drafted Ladd and XL last year if we would have held put. Ladd at 33 and XL at 39. 

We don't need a #1 WR. We need weapons. Guys that know what to do with the ball in their hands. I just don't feel like we have that right now. Bryce looks like the most elusive player on the team. That is not a good thing. We can find weapons 3rd - 5th rounds. Now that I think about it, I don't want Bryce thinking he has to force the ball to any player - see Diontae Johnson. That's not his game and I don't think he has the velocity to force passes like Penix and Nix. 

Draft BPA. Fortunately/Unfortunately we need EVERYTHING right now. With a heavy focus on defense early.

So we are still trying to 'fix' the offense while our defense is historically horrid.  Spot on for our Panthers.  I see what is going on and it's dumb. If Thielen retires, then I kinda get it. On the other hand if we trade for a #1 WR and still can't make the playoffs next year, then it's time to clean house--again. Fug it, i'm over baby steps and moral victories.

Screw it. Honestly, if the best player on your team is a WR, and also the highest paid, you've got nothing but troubles coming up.

See Dallas.

Develop receivers, grab FAs from the second round of grabs and draft here and there. It's an important position, but save draft capital for players involved in every single snap, such as QBs, o-line and d-line, LBs, DBs.

A great receiver can break a game open. A big name receiver with a good agent can break the bank and the team's future.

I've always believed in putting resources in oline, dline and qb. If you are good in those 3 position groups you can be competitive every year.

As happy as I am with how the season finished, we still have a lot of needs. I don't think we will be able to address them all in the draft. May take some creative solutions, like what is mentioned here. Our roster has a large quantity of guys that just aren't NFL caliber players. In that way, if we can just keep the same quantity of draft picks, or potentially get a higher number of draft picks, I'm not all that opposed to some draft day trades. If through that we land at Garrett Wilson somehow, let's go.

      Xavier Legette is the face of the NFL at the Kentucky Derby

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.
