We need to take a chance....

This draft, there's no clear-cut #1 choice. That much is evident. so if we can't trade down, we need to take a risk. We need to do something to help this team, something to ensure our success for years to come. So....who to pick? Easy....

That kicker from Nebraska :D of course this thread is a joke, i'm just bored...

no u dont take a chance at #1, You take the best player in the draft, thats what the #1 spot is for. Patrick Peterson is the best player in the draft. You take him #1 or trade down and then take him. But you dont leave draft day without the best player in the draft.

Sam Bradford wasn't the best player in the draft...rarely the number 1 pick is. The number one pick is for changing a franchises future. Good (Bradford), Bad (russel) or you could go the BPA route like Houston did and select a guy like Mario Williams and not change your franchise at all.

But as many said, this is probably one of the worst years to have the #1 overall pick. I favor trading back and at least picking up a first next year (although that in itself may be a bad idea depending on the next CBA). I'm just not sold on anyone at #1

      Who is going to take a shot at Malik Willis

      By cranky · Posted

      So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk.

      Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.
