To me the Minnesota Vikings pose the biggest threat to take him at #3.

#3 Minnesota - Claiborne/Blackmon (reports they aren't impressed with Kalil) Their pass d was ranked one of the worst. Overpaid Carlson a TE. Need more weapons.

#4 Browns - Kalil They have Joe Hayden but have a need for a #2. Good draft for CBs though.

#5 Bucs - Trent Richardson I could also see them trading back to stock pile. Maybe Cincy wants to move up and grab Richardson. Bucs have Talib, Wright, Barber (hes been invited back)

#6 Rams - Blackmon if he's there...or Reiff. signed Finnegan to a huge contract

#7 Jaguars - Coples/Ingram Maroons when it comes to drafting. My fear is they are a possible trade up partner to snag a Claiborne

#8 Miami - I now see them takIing A) Tannehill if available or B) Malcom Floyd

The browns have Joe Thomas, a 5 time pro-bowl

Lt I don't see them drafting Kalil (who is to undersized to be a rt at the moment)

With Kansas City signing Peyton Hillis, I think Cleveland is a lock to take Richardson. Then you've got Tampa taking Blackmon at 5 as the BPA and also since they signed Wright. St. Louis at 6 won't need him as they signed Finnegan so they'll probably take Reiff or maybe a DE. Given Flynn goes to Seattle or Cleveland, Miami will for sure take Tannehill at 8.

Even if all of this plays out as predicted though, I still don't see Claiborne slipping past the Jags at 7.

Idk why people think its going to be some crazy thing if Claiborne falls to us. CB and QBs fall more often then any other position. Also there a lot of parity in this draft class at CB. Teams are going to look for value in later rounds, maybe even us although I would not agree with that.

The Jags resigned Rashean Mathis, so you never know.

Claiborne is closely becoming a panther each day now. Tampa got Eric Wright, Barber is coming back. Their other FA moves are WR and G. With that, they are priming themselves for Trent Richardson.

Give me some Mo!

Bucs would be foolish to let barber influence anything they do in the draft. He's got one foot out of the NFL already and last i checked teams need 2 corners. I imagine as soon as he falls out of the top 5 some cb hungry team trades up to snag him from falling to us.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.

      Center/Interior Line at 19

      IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.

      Not unexpected: Panthers raise season ticket prices

      By toldozer · Posted

      Season tickets aren't affordable anymore definitely when they've been so bad for 8 years before last season. When I started going my seats were front row uppers for like 38 bucks. Those seats are 100 dollars now. Teams make their money from tv, if I was an owner my goal would be to break even on tickets and concessions.
