Good lord.  Are we seriously this bad at hiding our cards?

If the are going to overdraft a guy I would prefer they take Golden. He will end up in the top 12 anyway so the reach is miniscule.

Remember how the huddle knew we were drafting Will Grier and even the spot we were taking him a month before the draft? Yes. We're that bad. 

[KaseKlosed]

We will go WR first round

DB Second round 

Trade back up to grab pass rusher. 

 

Our main goal is to fix run defense and secure another weapon for Bryce.

Not to poop on this, but I do not see him as a 3-4 fit. I mean hybrid DL and he's a freak. Freaks are easy to fit, but he's too small for end this year and he's never covered TEs, WRs, or RBs on passing routes so OLB is a long path. 

There's always pure 4-3 guys and pure 3-4 guys. Same for pure zone CBs. I think Williams is gifted and tough, but he's a pure 4-3 guy.

We are gonna suck at drafting in the 1st forever. Sigh.

I'm not saying he's the right pick or the worst pick, I'm just saying he's the pick.

Despite the Huddle being in love with the term, the Panthers don't really do smokescreens. If there's a leak we're interested, Mykel is probably the pick.

Yep

honestly, not sure I want Evero making the pick or influencing the pick either…doubtful that he is here next year and wasn’t he pounding  the table to trade up for DJ (might’ve been Baron, I forget,  but both Baron and DJ are forgettable in any case )

as much as they need an Edge, rd 1 pick, particularly a top 10 pick,  needs to be a starter imho. I don’t care if it’s Warren, just be an immediate contributor that makes the team better

We play poker with mirrored sunglasses on.

Newsflash

We like a lot of players

[Jon Snow]

I have honestly not heard anyone talk about Williams. None of these media draft guys ever mention his name. He only shows up in mocks going to us or NO. Some have him going in the teens. Yet no breakdowns or squat about him.

Tony Pauline, March 13: "I’m told the edge-rushing needy #Panthers are, in fact, very interested in Mykel Williams."

Joe Person, March 19: "I’m told the Panthers have a real interest in Georgia’s Mykel Williams 

 

How much you wanna bet Tony heard it and Joe heard it from Tony?
