Had a segment discussing the Panthers draft plans today. Included a filmed interview with Rivera.

Didn't get to see all of it, but caught Rivera saying he felt Dareus was a little better all-around prospect than Fairley. Mike Golic and Merrill Hoge disussed potential picks after.

I believe it'll be rebroadcast tomorrow around Noon (if I read the listings right). Online video might be available at some point, but I haven't found it yet.

Golic is wrong about Fairley, if the pick is a DT it should be Dareus.

Rivera would seem to agree.

Which I find funny, because in the past when they asked John Fox about prospects, it tended to be "well, he's a good player, and so is he, and him too...etc etc" :sosp:

We're still not tipping our hand, mind you, but I think a lot of the overblown "cloak and dagger" stuff may have left with John Fox.

    • I think we have some revisionist around it here because of all the drama around Tepper's involvement. If you pull up any scouting report from the time you'll see the same take. WalterFootball's report sums up the media's thoughts on him well: "Young has everything the NFL is looking for in a quarterback except in terms of weight and height." He was the consensus top QB of his draft and the only real question mark they had about him was whether his body could hold up in the NFL. The infamous Steph Curry comparison the Panthers latched onto came from Albert Breer. The excuses I've heard for him are more anecdotal. Bryce Young's development is the only bullet point most NFL fans have on the Panthers right now. That and the coaching turnover. If you're not actually watching our games it's easy to believe this is just a dysfunctional organization that doesn't know how to unleash this talented Heisman winner.  I've seen media and fans alike run with that narrative way more than criticizing Young outright. Whenever we win there's flocks who use it as proof that the Panthers just need to be patient.  
    • So maybe 1-3 vs playoff teams, going by standings as of today. I guess that is an improvement.  We are just about improved enough to be in purgatory draft wise. It really isn’t so bad in the 1st unless you really want that top QB or maybe edge guy because there are usually plenty of good players at the top but it hurts you some as get deeper in the draft.
