If Dan takes a TE at 8 it will be the downfall of his career. Book it.

You know how I feel

lines make pro football

build from front back

DC typically says the same glowing things about every one of top candidates 

I could see him doing it as the guy can block, catch, run but he will go defense

I think the XL, Brooks picks already started that process.  He needs to absolutely crush this draft to avoid any heat in upcoming future

This… And exactly why it has to be BPA. This team needs an all-pro or 3 to rise from the ashes. 

The beauty of an all pro player is that it really doesn’t matter what position they play. They are game breakers, and raise the entire level of play for the team. They make the game changing plays on their own. They know how to close a game out.

These are the guys who go in the first 2 rounds. Teams that draft on need will whiff on game breakers most of the time. They reach. The Panthers way. 

This team last year. Imagine if Luvu stayed and we had drafted a DUDE edge player to pair with Clowney and lucked out on a gem safety, all while Horn stays healthy. The complexion is entirely different with only a few pieces.

Disagree about taking Warren. Warren is one of the few blue chippers at the top of this draft and I'm fine with the pick if they pull the trigger.

agreed. his skillset would really open up a lot of things. really could use him in any position, but as a TE he's what a team needs and wants.

Certified DAWG. Don't pass up on a solid football player just because of their position... that's like passing up on a player because of their school (Ohio State QBs, anyone?).

Would be very happy with the selection. The dude can block, he can catch, he can run folks over.

No, no he is not a blue chip player. No TE has ever made the difference for a team. He would not add a single win to the teams win total. Fixing the defense can add 4 to 5 wins to this teams win total. I will stand by that.

Uh, you forget about those Pats teams that won with just basically Gronkowski? Kelsey? Tony Gonzalez? Antonio Gates? Witten? Olsen? Wesley Walls? All were at the very least difference makers and did add wins to their teams. A lot of those guys were also the #1 option for their teams too instead of some WR.

Agree to disagree.  The Pats won due to Brady not his TE's. Kelsey owes his success to Mahomes as he couldn't do anything otherwise. The rest didn’t help put their teams over the top either. So no, a 1st round TE is not what puts a team in a position to win. Its defense and a run game.

And most recently, I'm pretty sure if you ask Raiders fans about Bowers, they'd say he's a difference maker and was more than worth the pick too.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
