that sucks, according to Google, Cam has 3 wins and 7 kids. no HOF for him. https://www.sportscasting.com/you-wont-believe-how-many-kids-cam-newton-has-fathered/ https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/car/playoffs.htm

"But Dad, I want to play catch with a winner".

If you saw him stand up after that hit, it seems pretty clear that it was a concussion. Poor guy was wobbling.

Trade them Teddy for anybody! make it so...TODAY!

Is this his dad?

Holy Poo!! Sterling Shepard was 23, WTF?!? I call BS on ant critique that says Shepard is better than DJ. In fairness, I do like their write up, it sounds like a top 10 receiver (especially considering that the other 2 receivers on the team had > 100 yards from LOS): "Moore notched 11 receptions that resulted in 30 or more yards this season, just one behind the league leader (D.K. Metcalf). Even with Teddy Bridgewater at quarterback, Moore was still able to tie for fifth in total deep receptions with 12. Seven of those 12 were contested deep grabs, the most in the entire NFL."

Those really hurt!

It should be an interesting preseason.

You can't argue that logic. It's the exact inverse of what Rivera said last year when KB went down. You don't replace the player, you replace the production. I honestly see Ginn's numbers dropping like crazy this season; he's going from #1 receiver (which he was never intended to be) to # 3 (unless Funchess hasn't progressed at all, which is unlikely). We'll likely have several cut receivers in other teams' jerseys this season. How weird is that?

He's also got that whole punt return thing going for him. That helps his chances.

It's hard to find anything not to like about this guy, I just wish he was a little more talented. I'd be very surprised if he weren't the odd man out this year. I wish him a long and prosperous career in the arena league.

OK, I'm in total agreement with Defense with the caveat that Cox may beat out Declaire or Horton. As for offense, there are several battles lining up: Hill vs Garrett (does Norwood or Byrd fight their way onto the roster??) Wegher vs Fozzy Foulcault vs Rigsbee (I know Rigsbee projects as a guard in the NFL, but Ron loves versatility in his back up O-linemen , and frankly Foulcault has shown nothing that would make me believe that he shouldn't have stayed in Canada) Mostly, I'm just happy to be actually talking football, even if it is speculative!

Sounds like a smart kid. Dave said he had a 2nd round grade on him and bradberry, so this should be a nice competition to watch in preseason. Looks like the first point goes to Worley.

He's the draft pick that I'm most excited about. Butler is money in the bank, he never should have been available at 30. The beauty of triple dipping at CB is that certainly 1 of them will work out opposite Bene (even if Sanchez is more of a nickle role, Boykin can slide outside). That leaves Beau! I was big on drafting a TE, first Henry, then Vannett. To get one with so much up side with next to the last pick could be the ultimate steal!

My new tramp stamp

Of course it's not gonna happen, but AJ will most likely be starting on another team next year and is a proven commodity, he did very well while Luke was out last season. I think he'd be worth a 2nd round pick. Maybe not as high as 38, but I was kinda going for wow factor here.

I like you're picks. I've been on the Hunter train from day 1 (I would have taken him at 30). Sterling Shepard and Mackensie Alexander are still out there as well. Come on G-man, make us proud.

Panthers trade AJ Klein to the Jags for their 2nd (38) and 6th (181) round picks. Then grab Ogbah at 38 (screwing the Bucs in the process!). We then trade picks 62 and 168 to the cheifs for pick 59 allowing us to snatch up Derrick Henry, thus screwing the Cheatriots! G-money becomes the first GM to be carried out of a draft on the shoulders of the fans! Mayo turns out to be even better than AJ.

Probably would still have to sweeten the deal with our 4th or 5th rd pick to get top 10 today, but I like the idea . There is still a crap ton of talent out there. The Rams are sitting on 43 and 45 ; not quite top 10, but there will most likely be some players left that had first round grades.

We traded our 2nd (57), 3rd (89) and a 6th (201) to jump up 16 spots and grab Funchess at 41. the chart is only a basic tool, every GM places different value on picks. Basically, # 252 is next to useless, so I could see us only having a fourth or fifth round pick left. but for 2 top 50 picks...it may be worth it.

Is Finnegan and Tillman still around? I know that neither has been signed, but they both still have some game left, and (especially Tillman) have a lot to teach younger guys.

According to the "NFL Draft Value Chart", moving from 62 to 45 would cost us our 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 7th round picks. While I agree that it may be worth it for the right player (Shepard?), that's a lot of eggs in 1 basket. http://walterfootball.com/draftchart.php

I doubt we draft more than 4 players this season, and if we end up with only 3 studs, I'm fine with that. As Igo points out, we will end up cutting good players this season (both Deangelo and Todman had decent runs with the Steelers last season after we cut them). Anyone we bring in needs to be an improvement (within the next couple of seasons) over someone we have, or be a depth player who can make an immediate impact on ST (see Mayo from last draft).

Hard to be upset about any of these picks. Hunter Henry would be my favorite because I think he has the rarest talent in the whole draft; a TE with his skill set only comes along once in a while. I haven't looked at Butler much because I assume he will go before 30, but he'd be a no brainer at 30 (thanks for the film). Ogbah will most likely be the best DE available at 30 and is definitely worth a 1st round pick. Derrick Henry scares me a bit because he has potential to be a miss. He has a high center of gravity and has been used a lot at Bama. I worry about his legs taking too much punishment, but if G-man likes him at 30 who the hell am I to argue? So, that's my preference order if all 4 are on the board at 30: H. Henry, Butler, Ogbah, D. Henry.

Von miller is a punk, but I'm OK with trash talk. He earned the right with his playoff performances. However, I honestly hope we end Aquib Talib's career after that poo he pulled on Philly! I hate that guy.
