So when Morgan said he was only interested in players with a lot of production in college, do you think that did not exclude Mykel? 

I guess the term "production" is somewhat ambiguous.

As far as I know they've only met with him one time. I suppose that doesn't matter that much in the end as they've kept things close to the vest so far. Maybe the production thing has some weight, maybe it's just talk. 

The truth is they would much rather trade down and get more ammo to move up in the 2nd round. Who they are targeting is anyone's guess.

If you go by last years 30 visits they will probably take about 4 of those guys in the draft. Whether that's by design or just plain luck I'll let you decide. Last year the 1st pick couldn't keep his mouth shut before the draft but this year, so far, it's been silence.

Is it wrong of me to have actually found that entertaining 

not at all. i've been listening to these guys for a while. they, well the sax player, does stuff with some other band called Lucky Chops (another horn band just with more people and better song writing). there's some video of that guy on stage in front of some big orchestra that is a good bit of fun to watch.

i wouldn’t get any hopes up for Warren, doesn’t seem like he’s in the cards for us even if available.

Methinks it’s Graham, the Bulldogs or a trade down.

I don't think Warren makes it passed the Jets, myself.

And that's if he makes it passed the Jags. 😮

i was listening to Rich Eisens this morning and he said the 6 most taxing words in the NFL are "the Jets are on the clock" lol as rough as it can be to be a panthers fan, i can't imagine being a fan of the jets for decades, especially on daft day.

Yeah, that silence is by design. As such, I won't be surprised if we get a surprise. If #11 is gone, I don't know who the hell we'll take.

    • excellent points and insights.  I agree on Tepper.  I guess I worry that his questions and comments might influence the thinking of his employees, that his presence in the room might add pressure to an already stressful situation, but after watching it again, it does not appear to be like that.  Morgan was in charge.  Canales mentioned needing a center, but beyond that, he was there to serve as a consultant, more or less, if asked.  I suppose my point was this--everyone knew their roles, I did not see egos--I saw empowerment.  As for Morgan--I saw a leader that listened to others, made wise decisions, and never lost control.  I was VERY IMPRESSED with Dan Morgan. 
    • Pretty good summation, although I would caution just a bit that there might be a little of over-enhanced expectations. I do agree with the assessment on BPA. It was exceedingly clear they had a specific shopping list. Early on when there was some discussion about the tackles available, Morgan was asked if he was willing to give up a 5th to get Freeling, if it came to that. I think the only way it wasn't a left tackle with that 1st pick is if none that were valued as a 1st were still available.
    • a) That they made it a point in the room to point at the paper and say, "hope the camera got that" suggests we really did target the players we wanted and got them. While there is a ton of editing happening to cut out conversations not related to the players we picked, there didn't seem to be a lot of panic about who/what was going on b) Tepper appreciates the analytics. Now that he has a few years to see how the front office team works together to do the analysis, it still looks like he's hands-off (he's learned his lesson??). He seemed less vocal than in previous years' Blueprints (at least, in the edit).  I wouldn't expect Canales to be overly vocal in the draft room - he's likely already made his opinions known behind the scenes about certain players. Draft day is Morgan and Tilis and Eager's day. Loved seeing their interactions/conversations  c) that's all Eager. There's a great piece somewhere about the analytics engine he built floating around somewhere (maybe it was just after the draft?), and how he's constantly tweaking it with info about the players and input from the coaching staff.  That the post-draft press - for the most part - all seem to be overly positive about the draft actions we had compared to other teams makes it seem like we've gotten the ship moving in the right direction. Whether it translates to on-field results, well, that's a different topic for hundreds of other threads
