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.

anybody got receipts on the board that wanted him here?

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.

      BREAKING: Panthers adding to coaching staff

      By strato · Posted

      A guy with limited assets as you propose may be (or is) the case, needs to surround himself with the best people he can find. Forget the ego and bring in some talent. Anyone always should do that anyway, it is more important for some.  Just speculating but say he goes two more years and is still getting owned, will he see it or be in denial? If he knows he is limited he can adapt. If he doesn’t, well not so good.    If he is short in the X/O department he can keep his culture with good help.

      I don't disagree with you and didn't in my original post. I said that at this moment, before the draft, before any kind of free agency and with literally no one on that bench beside him, Bryce is the starting QB. Doesn't matter earned, owed, promised or pinky-sworn. Right now, it's his job.  But, going back to the original statement that you'd replied to, yeah, it gets old to hear the same takes even in light of new information. Stephen Wright used to have a joke about how he drove across the country but only had one cassette tape to listen to the whole way, but he couldn't remember what it was. We're kind of at this stage.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By t96 · Posted

      More lukewarm than hot but struggle out of the gate and it would become pretty damn hot is my guess. That said, he really should get a chance to handpick a QB before getting let go.
