CBS mock. Top 10 spots trade at top

[Growl]

I’m torn between thinking Jaxson dart goes a whole lot higher than people expect and the belief that there isn’t going to be a run on QBs early, perhaps none, but probably just one.

Not so sure there's a run, but if there's any QB that's rising, I agree -- I see Dart over Milroe and others.  Much better skillset and is an accurate passer with size and athleticism.  Top intermediate game, much higher capabilities as a pro-passer than Milroe.  It bugs me he's coming out of Ole Miss though, that system can be deceiving as we all know.

The more research I do there are a couple of receivers I like later in this draft. Top o line and run game means it's not a pressing need to draft another receiver in the first round. We have a need at every level on the defense.

fug this, we need to be able to stop the run before we can beat anyone. 

I dont hate the prospect, but I hate getting gashed on the ground repeatedly.

if Graham is still there at 8, i’m running right up the middle to put the card in, and the panthers DL can’t stop me.

I'd be happy just to get a player in round 1 who makes us better on defense. I don't care what position he plays. A blue chip player that could start immediately at any level of the defense (d-line, LB, or secondary) would significantly improve the team. If Carolina plays their cards right, they should get 3 quality starters minimum for the defense between rounds 1 and 3.

I wouldn't be opposed to taking TMAC in round one, but only if we went defense for rest of the draft and the team is able to plug some of the holes via trades and FA.

Passing on Graham for another big body receiver would induce rage on a scale I can’t verbalize.

calling T-Mac "another big body receiver" is the clearest sign someone hasn't seen enough of his game to know what they're talking about.

how would you describe him?

I'd describe him as... A tall WR who moves better than a player his size should be able to, with an absurd catch radius and vice grips for hands.

But my point in the other post was when people use the word "another" before "big bodied" is just so clear that they're expecting him to be some big plodding WR in the mold of a KB or something like that, which couldn't be further from his game.

He was regularly used in the quick screen and slant game to get the ball into his hands and let him make defenders miss.  He was 5th in the Big 12 in YAC this season, not something you'd usually see in one of those "big bodied WRs" in the way people talk about them.

Anyone advocating for a receiver in this draft is the clearest sign they don’t know what they’re talking about.

Not at 8 but we need to draft more bodies later especially if thelien checks out

It’s pretty clear we’re talking about #8.  But in the interest of specificity you are correct.

What?!?!

Right now we're looking at having a bottom 5 WR room in the league next year.  We have an old but steady slot WR and 2 guys with potential but far from tapping into it.  In no world is that good enough for a team with a QB who is a game manager with still tons of question marks.

T-Mac is going to be a future Top 5 WR in the league.

If you want to argue FOR a defensive player, so be it, can't fault someone for feeling that way, but to think we don't need WRs and that T-Mac wouldn't be a great fit for us, is delusional.

You can want a defensive player at 8, that's fair, but to think T-Mac would be a bad pick there is just straight up wrong.  None of it is even what my initial reaction to your post was even about, it was considering T-Mac as "another big bodied WR" is just as wrong as anyone could possibly be, regardless of what you think about us taking him at 8.

Was it historically the worst unit ever?  No?

Sit down.
