Never understood how this guy made billions having terrible draft opinions 

He is a fraud--we do better than him every year. 

Jalon Walker is a player I like, but if you look at his body of work at UGA, he was not that effective in an edge alignment.  He can play all over--more Luvu probably than Parsons.  i am cooling on Walker for that reason.  Edge is deep in this draft, DT/NT/DE is probably next.  Regardless, Walker is a nice player, just maybe not a great fit.  I'd take the CB from Michigan instead of an ILB/OLB hybrid. If we don't re-sign Jackson, CB is a need.

People are connecting the dotes with him because he is from Salisbury.  He is good but not sure he would be the pick.  I think they might go OT.  I am seeing mocks with Jeanty in the top 8 which would be awesome 

To who?

Only way I can see he goes Top 8 is if someone BADLY wants him and trades up to take him there, as there aren't any places that make sense for him.  Right off the bat, Titans, Patriots, Jets, Jags, Giants, and ourselves have starting RBs for next year so none of us are taking one in the Top 8.    

That just leaves the Browns and Raiders who could potentially take him, and even then, there are going to be a lot of FA RB options this year, not sure either will pass on the other top talent to take an RB instead of signing one.

He was the very first person to truly become an NFL draft expert. He is not here because he is necessarily the best, but because he is an OG

That would be a shocker (Yes, I went there), but OT is an area where you could reduce the payroll.  Imagine trading Moton instead of extending him?  Some will say, "but we need a DT and Edge and ..." and they would be right, but if you decrease the payroll, you can sign free agents.  I doubt it happens and I would be scratching my head because picking a T would not be a pick that was void of other dominoes falling for it to make sense.

Saints get Johnson, the cb, probably the safest pick in the draft.  He's an island.  Really hope they don't take him.

 

Falcons get 290 lb edge Shemar Stewart.

Bucs get Nick Emmanwori, a playmaker at safety.  I really wanted him but not in the first.

I'd rather have Johnson. At least that part of the defense would be fixed.

I wouldn't say expert but he helped make the draft as big as the game for many.  No different than most of the garbage "content creators". It just needs to be consumed it doesnt need to be valid in order to serve its purpose generating revenue

That's an interesting wrinkle... and I can't quite shake that it could make sense. Still, I really want to see us grab LB in the first.

He didn't make billions lol

Despite the constant drum beat of Common Core Math, some folks still can't count lol.

Kiper just a name and entertaining presence.  No one cares about his accuracy, certainly not his bosses at ESPN.  He get's ratings and clicks.  That's all that matters to them.  The more outrage, the better.

As far as who the Panthers draft: it just depends on who the best player is to the Panthers.  Who has the most dawg in them so to speak.  It's about building the team culture and making improvements.  I do enjoy the draft hysteria, the melodrama is so delicious.

I mean at that point just take Will Campbell. I don't think you necessarily need to settle at the edge position in this class, it is very deep. Snagging a ten year starter at the tackle spot who is a blue chip player is just smart. Him or Will Johnson make sense there if this is how it all plays out.

      I think it's strange that you still can't see where I'm coming from, and I guarantee you don't have more faith in him than I do.  You're looking at him in a vacuum, not about the team around him and the likely offensive game plans this season. We're going to be a run first team with 3 receiving options better than any of the other players on past rookie 1k seasons. If you can't understand that, then it's a you problem, not a me problem. Arizona's previous basketball coach, Sean Miller, used to do something at the first team meeting of every season and I think it's soooooooooo applicable to this situation. He'd have every player right down how many minutes/points they expected to average that season and then he'd add them up.  It would show that if they all hit those numbers, we'd score like 125 points a game and need to be playing 7 guys at a time to get their minutes. That's pretty much how you guys are putting your T-Mac expectations out there, looking solely at the player and what you think he should be able to do, not how the offense will operate as a whole. Every yard one player gets is one less yard someone else can get.  It sounds like I just have more faith in Thielen, XL, and Coker this year than most everyone else.  But a big reason for that faith is because of T-Mac and how much he'll open things up for the rest of them and Bryce being the type of QB to take the open easy passes than force it to his #1. As I've said, if any one of the following happens... Thielen ends the season sub 700 yards, XL or Coker end up sub 500 yards... Then yes, I will then shift my expectations for T-Mac's rookie year to be at least 1,000 yard season. But since I have faith in those other 3 having solid seasons, it tempers my expectations yardage totals for T-Mac this year, and this year alone.  I've also clearly stated many times that I think he's going to reach 10 TDs. If T-Mac ends the season with 800 yards and 10 TDs, while Thielen gets 900-1,000 and XL/Coker each get around 600, I don't see any world where that is a failure for a rookie season for T-Mac. Because again, we're talking about expectations, not what is possible.  So given the other WR options, I can't EXPECT T-Mac to get to the 1k mark, which is a far cry from me saying I don't think he can get there. Do you really not see the difference there?

      I don't recall anyone seeing this coming.  I mean, two seperate things for me.  I thought BB just might not work in college football because he is old grumpy man and college is about appealing to young kids.   So yeah, that could of gone great or horrible.  Coin flip.  This isn't that convo for me.  what we are witnessing right now play out.....this was never part of the disaster possibility/path discussed lol.  Really weird stuff.  Or maybe I missed the part where UNC hires a 20 year old "girlfriend" that apparently runs the Bill operation and before the season even starts is taking over more than just Bill but influence of the entire UNC operation.  That was her getting that official statement made today.  It was her sabotaging the Hard Knocks UNC show because she somehow wasn't the star.  Seems like elder abuse lol.  Only largely kidding.  You even got Charles Barkley saying he normally doesn't talk about personal lives of his friends but he might have to check in on Bill because this ain't normal stuff lol.  Anyway, it's entertaining.  Everything is a cartoon it seems these days.

      I think its strange how you were claiming this guy was the second coming of Mike Evans and you can't even get behind 1k yards? I guess I have more faith in him than you
