Man, I thought for sure this would be like the situation last year where the Rams picked Janoris Jenkins just before our pick in the second round, and the Jets felt this year what we felt last year by the Rams jumping in front of them taking Tavon Austin. The Rams are just evil bastards that live to pick the same player the the team behind them is targeting.

I'm still surprised this guy just landed to us and Gettleman not panicking giving up a fifth or sixth round pick to move up to get him. Two days after the fact, I am still in disbelief we got just who we wanted wihout giving up anything especially since there were no first round running backs or quarterbacks for teams to focus their attention on.

I Felt it was 9 that Star would be gone and our fanbased would be pissed.

With that said thank goodness the Bucs made that trade to the jets with #13 and them taking Richardson instead of Star.

I thought the Jets would take him.

I counted on Oakland doing something stupid.

I'm still giddy that he fell to us. If not for that misdiagnosis he would have been a top 5 guy for sure.

I think the Olinemen run had more to do with him falling than the misdiagnosis.

This was a seriously great year to draft olinemen, and all those weaker teams had serious needs to address there.

Definitely. The Oline run, "DJ HAYDEN", TAVON, and Sheldon Richardson helped Star and Floyd fall.

Every year is a great year to draft an Olineman. People acts like Oline is a rare position. Franchise OTs comes every single year. Next year draft is just as packed as this year in OLINE.

A ten, I thought he was gone, Jets were on the clock and I just dreadfully anticipated them drafting him, then the Commissioner said "Sheldon Richardson" I laughed my ass off, and yelled "STARRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"

Heh I was almost the exact same way. I was chanting "Please take Patterson please take Patterson please take Patterson" then when they took Richardson I let out a loud "WOOOOOOO!" and started laughing.

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
