I'll nominate Clarence Clemons of E Street Band fame for his sax solo on 'Born to Run' as 1B to Baker Street 1A. Honorable mention to Joe Walsh guitar solo on 'Hotel California'. There, I have now outed myself as a teenager and young adult in the 70's and 80's...

You talking to me?

At $12M per year, we were paying for dropped balls and a cancer in the locker room and sidelines. Runs crisp routes, sure handed, a red zone magnet and a good locker room presence for younger players; what’s not to like? Some of you will complain when the sun comes up in the morning.

Best WR available at 39 and best TE or Edge in R3. There is a good chance that LaPorta will be available in R3.

Yes, please. I think it would be sufficient to sign just one and then draft one, now that we also have Hurst and Sanders. TMJ, Laviska, Chark or Hardman, and R2 draft pick is not too shabby. I’m excited to see what schemes Reich and company are bringing that may elevate TMJ and Laviska. I may be alone here but I think Laviska is capable of being much more than just a gadget player. I still think Shi is a question mark but maybe the new administration can coach him up and make him serviceable.

No need to besmirch Voldemort’s name and reputation by comparing him to Rhule. That’s just unnecessarily cruel. Be better than that.

I miss the birds…

This. There is also one other (intangible) factor that is not frequently mentioned: leadership. Some people have it within them, others don’t. It is almost impossible to define and measure but, you know it when you truly see it. It is much more than swagger and bravado. If one of these two young men has both processing and leadership traits, pick him.

If you see Fitt smoking a cigarette later, the contract was signed…

Unless we're dangling Chinn, and to fully monetize his trade value, it needs to be with a team looking for Cam Chancellor 2.0 AND has a receiver we like that they are willing to part with. That's a very dependent path...

Let's stipulate that the team is leaning heavily towards Stroud today... but we are not drafting today. We have weeks of process to work through before draft day. At the end of that process, it may still be Stroud... or not. Evaluations can change based on new information that we are not privy to. It makes sense to not be clear publicly about any of the four, as the team may yet reach a different conclusion by draft day.

I feel you. We are at risk to overdraft a WR, just because we ‘must’ have offensive weapons for our new QB1. A FA WR (Chark, please) will be signed and that, along with Hurst, TMJ, Taviska and Sanders will be adequate this year. Draft a project WR in R4 or later, if we must. We’ll get another bite of the apple at WR next year when we have more cap available. There is just too much value at edge and CB this year to not take the BPA at one of those two positions at 39. A good defense can also be a rookie QB’s best friend.

I wouldn’t cheer it but, I would understand it. It makes sense to ‘monetize’ his value to another organization looking for a Cam Chancellor type SS. It’s just business.

Welcome to the Huddle and Panthers Nation…

Can you score HGH on the street corner? Asking for a friend…

If true, sad to see but, the right call on this young man’s part.

You're confused? Take a number...

Counselor, I will stipulate that everything you posted here is admissible to the court. The size issue for Young is a not an insignificant risk to me, making Stroud less of a risk. Not the better QB, just less of an injury risk. "May you live in interesting times."
