I'm not gonna go that far.

Hate to say it, but this is looking like another one of those years where we'll win just enough games to put us out of position to draft players we could really use 😞

Honestly, I'm not so bad with that. Let the other bottom feeders clear the chum a bit for us. Might keep us from taking the sucker's bait that seems to await the top of the draft order. 

Picking around 12-15 might bring things into better and more realistic focuses.

I was shocked we beat the Packers. I thought we might lose out from 4-4. Probably gonna go per usual. We're gonna lose a poo ton of games and be looking at a pretty sweet draft spot in December if we can just close the deal but then we'll win a game or two to even fug that up.

I hope we draft around 6th or 7th, and trade back to late in the 1st and accumulate some more picks. We need a few starters and lots of depth.

I don't want to go in with any plan to trade down. If the right guy is there and the trade offers aren't great take him. I'm always for keeping options open. I never liked Gettleman's shtick of running the pick to the podium immediately either. If the phone is ringing and there's time on the clock listening to the offer is free and you're only limiting your options by not hearing it.

If you buy into the theory that teams can and will load up to stop the run, and that Young is unable to take advantage, you will be delighted to know that other than the Falcons, every opponent we face for the rest of the season is currently in the top half of the league for lowest yards allowed per carry.

Three teams are currently in the top 10 of that list, Saints at 9, Rams at 6, and Seahawks at 3.

It sure looks like Young will have to be a significant factor down the stretch, and that running Rico over and over and over is not going to be the winning play.

It blows my mind that it took nine games for an opponent to figure this out.

Said the same. So did Mike Kaye.

I was expecting that approach from day one, and I know I'm not alone in that thought.

But somehow the eagles will draft a pro bowler. Maybe its not where we pick but who's making the picks?

It is, but it's still nice to be up a little higher when you have needs.

(no, I don't believe in tanking) 

Wasn't a fan of Cole Spencer. Now that he's gone I'm hoping Morgan and Tilis make some changes to our draft leadership.

This front office could be gifted the first ten picks in the draft and still would get it wrong. 

We've got a QB who can't stretch the field, so we drafted a WR who only stretches the field.  Stupidity. Instead of me (and a few others) screaming for Tyler Warren, who would've helped our inept QB in so many ways, including lining up at QB for gimmick plays that Bryce can't execute.

Until we completely overhaul the front office, it won't matter where we draft.  Good players in bad systems become bad players.   

The 25 draft honestly isn't looking bad. 

Said above I wasn't a fan of our previous scouting director. Don't know that I'm looking for a complete overhaul, but I would like to see some changes.

I will forever be permanently scarred by the Fitterer "Turn a 1st into 9 7ths!" draft. 

Just fuging get a good player if they are available, if the board says most of your guys are off it, trade down to a REASONABLE area with APPROPRIATE compensation to avoid overdrafting someone.

      Absolutely. Despite the turnovers and the terrible slips we only gave up 17. If the offense could have mustered a single productive drive after the start of the game ...

      I think Tepper (and owners in general) have  more influence on team personnel than most of us realize. Remember how Brenton "Sunshine" Berson was a roster lock when JR owned the team?  Frank Reich didn't want to draft Bryce, Tepper did. I remember him saying in an off-season meeting that the team wouldn't have to break the bank on WR's because of BY's processing ability and his ability to distribute the a ball to like a point guard to the skill position guys. Frank quickly realized it was almost hopeless situation. And, why are we running a 3-4 defense? We ran a 4-3 for almost two decades. One year after Tepper takes over, we went to a 3-4 and continue to do so despite never drafting the appropriate personnel to run it after Rivera was fired. Owners have a lot of say on what happens on that field. Look how Al Davis tried to ruin Marcus Allen's career essentially benching him during his prime years. Canales got this job because Tepper wanted someone who could "fix" Bryce; and Canales was overly eager to get his first coaching job and felt up to the task. No top coaching prospect was going to want to come to Carolina with our track record since Tepper bought the team and having their destiny tied to Bryce as his QB. A top GM candidate from outside the organization would feel the same way. In theory, it was too early to cut bait with him after only one season Dan and Dave knew one another and both wanted to be "the guy" in charge as coach and GM. Carolina provided the ideal opportunity. On the surface this hire, if successful, could validate Tepper's decision to give a fool's ransom for Bryce and he could fill the GM spot with a body but still have someone in power that he was familiar with. In all honesty, it we had a good QB and a capable back-up on the roster I doubt we'd be having this conversation because we'd probably be one of the top teams in the NFC.

      Just reeks of bullshit. Good college QB but when you were watching him as an NFL prospect the physical limitations and playing style concerns were very obvious. Teams across the league almost certainly evaluated him as a backup QB prospect and the last thing you want out of a backup QB is a distraction. Strip away the media hype job, add in all the reports that Shedeur essentially completely blew off the pre-draft process and turned teams off essentially cementing what many already thought and nothing about his draft plummet was surprising. Watch the Browns draft room as the pick was announced. It's very obvious that wasn't their pick. The owner stepped on and said get me that press attention. Why would that have happened if there was a directive from the league not to draft him? It just doesn't pass the bullshit litmus test.
