anybody got receipts on the board that wanted him here?

I seriously doubt it.  The only close to good things I remember about him on this board was just after he was drafted most people were hoping he would develop which applies to all draft picks. It’s been all downhill since that point.

I know you think you're being funny, but seriously, if we didn't have so many problems on defense that guy would absolutely be a candidate at 8.  He's a really, really good player and would give us a legit WEAPON at TE.  Sanders is great downfield - no doubt - but Warren actually blocks.  He's not a GREAT blocker, but he gives excellent effort.  And as a receiver . . . man, he just makes plays.

I don't see us pulling the trigger, especially with Sanders on the roster and Tremble returning.  But Warren is worthy of a top 10 pick.

Warren is BPA and we are devoid of talent in a lot of places, not just defense. Reaching for need at 8 is a horrible policy. 
 

Draft Warren. Take Skattebo in the 4th. Everyone else can be defensive picks. I want to see Tyler Warren and Cam Skattebo line up to run the Panther Prowl from the 1 yard line, with no one able to stop it, ever.

Wanted Ian here? Not exactly, but some thought he was a steal at the top of the 4th round.  See if this sounds familiar?  Tall, athletic, big build, but a raw prospect that needs to be coached up reach the potential he didn't achieve in college. He was meant to be a Panther...it was written in the stars.  So much so, they couldn't part ways with him until it was absolutely certain he couldn't be anything more than a TE3.

Ian Thomas has a very specific talent and anyone who has worked in the corporate world has seen it: He's an unseen survivor -- that lower end management guy who just goes meeting to meeting, coffee mug in hand, takes some notes, says little and hangs on through re-org after re-org, survives every downsizing and somehow just keeps stays on the payroll. 

Dude certainly hasn't had a Hall of Fame career, but he's hopefully generated a generational changing wealth for his family. Good luck to him in Las Vegas, may he get five more years there.

    • Good game so far.  Solid trench battles, two young well built defenses, and my 2 fave coaches.  Stafford is really damn good.  SEA OL is overperforming.  
    • Okay then. To me that means Russell Wilson was Coryell. Because I see the proposition completely in the Russell Wilson punt/pass put it up for grabs mold. Count on the receiver to catch it or knock it down.    And the reason I thought that was the intent with Legette is the abysmal downfield game from 2023. As in, there was barely any.   I look at it as if… the result of a deep attempt isn’t as important as the opponent understanding they have to defend it. So I was all for some 50/50s. Coryell, Walsh whoever.  I do favor the Coryell approach personally but also very much value versatility, it doesn’t have to be strict. Just make the defense defend the whole field, however you do it. It has to include downfield throws.     
    • Sold, or in the process of being sold. Could be either way. Consider this for a second... Last season, our defensive coordinator steered what many have called the worst defense in NFL history.  Canales would absolutely have been justified in firing him, and no one would have blamed him if he had.  But what did he do? He gave Evero another chance to come back and prove he could be better. Does that tell us something about Canales? I think it does. Now apply that to Bryce 😕
