Growing Sense that we take Mykel/Shemar, No matter who's available

Nick Emmanwori wants to join his old college teammates on the Carolina Panthers

"Always, man. X [Xavier Legette] and Jaycee [Horn] was my guys. Talk to them almost every other week, every month. The Panthers, man, they have a huge impact on us out here. They just got Rico Dowdle, so they've got a real Gamecock squad over there. And hopefully, they come and pick me up too. That'd be cool."

Well, Jon, like my mother-in-law used to say, "What you don't see will make a whole 'nother world."

There's some wisdom in that. One thing about it, there's just about zero chance that only three guys in this draft actually are "blue chip players." We just have to actually identify which ones (may be zero chance of that as well).

Yep. While the popular narrative is that there's few elite talents and a big logjam of similarly ranked prospects behind them, the reality will play out a lot differently. It always does. There will be highly drafted busts and there will be some prospects who were overlooked a bit who end up shining in the NFL. Every draft would look a LOT different if it could be redone a year, five years, ten years later. The consistently good teams consistently beat the odds on the draft. Every team is going to have some busts but you have to consistently year after year add quality talent and depth to your roster through the draft. The hard salary cap necessitates it. The draft is by far your best opportunity to add talent at a value.

Who are the 3 to you because by my count your leaving out at least 2 more.

The panthers would fall in love with the least talented bulldog d-lineman in years smh

Carter, Hunter and maybe Jeanty. The rest are personal preference/need among a group of about 20 other guys on day 1.

Id be hugely disappointed in both of these picks. Sick of the "I'm smarter than the market" types that land one out of 10 longshots and crow about how they "got it right" one time. Quit fuging forecasting, you are terrible at it a$$holes.
