Tet McMillan: "I don't want to hear nothing"

[SOJA]

everything I keep hearing from reliable draft people is that the NFL is way lower on TMAC (think late teens and twenties) than fans are. 

I'm not saying that's correct but I really don't think the Panthers are considering him at 8 yall

Honestly, it may be the perfect time to trade back. For me, the draft is ALWAYS about value. This draft reportedly seems to have a deeper spread of starters possibly through the mid to even late second round, but there is a decided drop-off somewhere between picks 5 to 8 in regards to top-shelf guys. That being said, depending upon this deaft's dynamics, trading down would likely be advantageous if you can score at least another second rounder. Tet isn't before the drop by most accounts (but Tyler Warren is).

Trading back should have always been the play. The elite pool is tiny and the "very good to good" pool is very large. Get as many top 90 picks as possible.

Hard to really say I think until the QB situations are figured out

That is the question Ive been figuring out to answer for weeks. 

My first answer was - I believe the LT run would start at 8. A team that wants the top OLmen, Panthers would be the team to dealt with. There's like 3 OLmen that could be draft here. Banks, Campbell, membou. 

Ashton Jeanty is the other. If he falls to 8th, it could force some team to jump up for.

Sanders could fall until 8 and QB always bring a steep price. 

That's five names.

Those are all good ones.  The top TE Tyler Warren, Tet or Golden, Will Johnson, and Dart are all possibilities too.   If we pick at 8, I hope it is Graham or Johnson. We can get the edge help later.

People need to get out of here with that Marty Hurney 1st round draft pick success crap.  It was only by sheer and utter complete luck he didn't trade Cam Newton for Jimmy Clausen.

 

 

yeah so this myth pops up from time to time but hurney was always unwilling to trade a future 1 to move up for clausen and it’s why the trade didn’t happen.

you can definitely criticize him repeatedly taking softball evaluation positions in the 1st but the clausen thing is misinformation

You're probably right but I like this story better.  

But I'll give him his due.  He built a few good teams but we will never consistent.  Could have been a lot better but it could have been a lot worse.

I don't think there's anything short of four picks on days one and two that are going to lead us to skip on Mason Graham if he falls to us.

It's sad that we miss the general incompetence of Hurney 1.0. 

Thanks Tepper. Thanks.

IDK, Charlie Campbell keeps saying his sources tell him that the draftniks are higher on Graham than the scouts and teams are. He is claiming middle of the first round.
