I would try to do a Baker/Sam swap straight even. Cleveland gets rid of a disgruntled Baker and replaces him with Sam who costs just as much but without the drama. Carolina gets Baker who may not be the future but can't really be much worse than Sam. Salaries are a wash. Cleveland has no leverage with Corral as our 3rd round pick. It's basically trading for a shiny new turd, but if we're talking about best chance of winning, it would make some sense for Rhule.

It was a dare. $100 bucks to eat some lutefisk and boiled cabbage.

Non issue for me. Much rather a few punches be thrown than the way a lot of it gets dealt with now.

I have always had an issue with Rhule's ego. Every coach had to deal with Covid. Rhule was no exception. Rhule's biggest issues, IMO, is that he always thinks he is the smartest guy in the room despite evidence to the contrary and his willingness to double down on his ability to see things that people with much more experience cant see. He has made glaring mistakes that the armchair coaches from the Huddle got right early on in the season. TB, Darnold, the trade and his 5th year, Elfein and Irving in day 1 FA, Chinn to FS, Brady, his OL choices, play calling, lack of adjustments even after firing Brady, calling himself Jay-z, 1000%, being told to hire NFL caliber staff or else and the list goes on. I don't see those type of decisions just going away through some type of magical awakening. I have faith the Fitts and Morgan can take this team to new levels. I'm don't believe Rhule is the guy to complete that equation for success. Nothing I've seen in his actions the past 2 years makes me think he's capable of that kind of growth in the past 2 months.

Alex Lindstrom to Dallas. Was one of my hopefuls as a UDFA.

I'm really curious to see who we go after as UDFA. I think there could be some unexpected IOL talent available that we really should pursue, especially at C.

Wouldn't mind Thayer Munford here.

Would like to see Rasheed Walker if he lasts that long. Big guy that can play tackle but would translate to guard in the NFL. He handles bull rushers well. LG would be solved, BC to swing tackle, Irving to the unemployment line.

Agreed. His footwork is exceptional.

If it is the latter, I'll be glad we didn't pass on the opportunity

Has a coach ever been fired during the draft?

That wasn't as crazy a pick, and actually made some sense if you look at how much Dallas continually invests in their oline. I thought JJ could have easily been the pick to replace Gregory, but protecting Dak made sense

I wouldn't either. He may start BC at LT and put IE inside at guard for a couple of games. Or we could end up trading him for a handful of magic beans.

Well the Pats ruined the millions of dollars predict the 1st round contest. Cole Strange has to be the most head scratching pick from day 1.

If Irving ends up starting at LT this season, I don't think Rhule makes it to the parking lot unscathed.

I expect them to trade up to our pick in the 2nd to take a WR there.

Irving at home right now.

I can't believe it. Love this pick.

Yessssssss

Please don't fug this up. Please don't fug this up...

All I can think is please don't fug this up

Kerry Collins. Yeah, yeah, I know. But it was our first draft and I'd been waiting for football in Carolina a long time.

No. Rounds 1 and 2 are considered day 1 to mid season starters for LT. Interior linemen usually can be found up to rd 4 for rookie starters. There are exceptions of course. I think a reasonable expectation would be he should be seeing the field regularly this year, and he should have been last year.

There is no such thing as a 5 year plan in the NFL. NFL stand for not for long. If you can make it on a 3 year plan with the way contracts and players move in this league, you've accomplished something.
