Something good is cooking here in Carolina

Alright you draft nerds, if the rams first offer had the panthers at +2 what would that trade look like moving down 18 spots?

Excellent production, well done Panthers.com

It couldn't be their 2nd, cause panthers already had it. 

It had to be 26th, 3rd rounder plus next years 1st 3rd. With a couple more picks in the middle rounds. Looking back, Peace Jr wasn't a bad pick as much as I hate the falcons. Just next years draft has a QB surplus and if penx busts, you have made a era worth mistake.....

If there's one team to not care about overpaying, its the rams. Well.... the jags just traded away too much as well. ATL too....

Seems like Ez, JTT, & Scourton were targets. Unsure how they stacked but they had a 1st round grade on Nic. Good stuff. 

And they were targeting Princely for a while - Dan wanted him badly.

Really good stuff

May be nothing but was a little surprised to see Canales lack of interest/excitement when Morgan asked him about drafting Horn.

You mean not showing excitement about a 6th rd pick? Lol

I wonder if the value in theory of those picks next year go up in value simply because of the qb influx that will be in the draft? I just hope this isnt another burns situation.

Nice video.

Ol’ Tepp is still very much involved.

doesn't sound like he's making the decisions, though. sounds like he's letting them make the decisions and they are just asking if he's on board with it all. i think he trusts them to get the job done. probably isn't easy for him to let go, but he might just be learning.

agreed. As mentioned elsewhere, not unusual for (any team's) owner to be in the draft room.

But comparing the hands-on draft style of Jerry Jones vs (what appeared to be) a more observant/less-involved Tepper this year... it seems very much like Dan was running the show and making the player decisions with his football mgmt team

Also his wife wasn't in the room from what I could tell

Tillis telling Tepper that meandering socks story was priceless— he’s got that Will Forte energy

My rough place for Scourton (based on a compilation of several prospect rankings) was late first, so I did not research him much.  I nearly forgot about him.  His college production his final year was not elite--but that seems to be the system.  I noticed that (at Tex AM) he had outside contain a lot, and was not rushing the QB--that means the CBs were probably in man coverage.  So I think he could be good in this system.  Princely?  I had him going in the middle of the second round; he was my hope once we took TMac.  Most of the mocks I saw had him going in the 40-48 range.  When we traded up, I had forgotten about Scourton (or did not know that much about him) and I thought we would draft Princely.  I was actually a bit disappointed because I think Princely will be a very good Edge.  I would not be surprised to see both statistically challenge the first round Edge players.
