Ideally? Christensen Brown Paradis Moore Moton Because that will mean 3 rookies EARNED the starting jobs over vets and still have room to grow and build chemistry for the next 3+ years.

Well Gross' measured arm length was one inch longer than Christensen's. I think that, coupled with being a 25 year old rookie, is what made him slide. But he has all of the tools to be a plug and play starter. And he could very well be playing part of his prime on a rookie deal.

If Brady Christensen's arm length was 33", he may have gone in the first round because his tape is so good. I'd say the job is his to lose.

Breakfast is considered to be the most important meal of the day and you have a scheduled Q&A during lunch, can you elaborate on how that might speak to how you value your readers?

This has now become a thread to ask questions of Joe Person in the style of Joe Person. So Joe you're having lunch, can you talk a little bit about that and how this lunch might be different than other lunches you could have had?

What is his SPARQ score?

A couple things are very clear after watching some of the analyses on Darnold. 1 - His improvisational skills and ability to extend a play are great. He is a player that CAN be the difference. Teddy was not that type of player. 2 - His interior offensive line was absolute garbage. Van Roten got destroyed routinely, McGovern could barely handle the guy he was assigned, and Alex Lewis was solid at times but was hurt for a portion of the year. Fant at RT was basically Byron Bell; he would get in the way and if he latched on to you he was good, but he got torched by speed and bend. Becton was the only solid piece on the line. AND his backs? Terrible in pass pro. 3 - Darnold played some damn good defenses last year. Darnold had to play that Bills defense twice, a Belichick defense twice (though shorthanded, they were still coached well), and a Miami defense that proved to be much better than anticipated, twice. And that was just his division. He also played the Colts, the 49ers, the Chargers, and the Seahawks. 4 - He made guys look better than they are. He is owed a nice 'thank you' check from Breshad Perriman for his ability to make him look like a solid number 2 receiver acting as a number 1 for portions of the season out of necessity. Behind his offensive line and with Crowder, his top and only receiver, out for NINE games? Breshad Perriman was the only starting wideout to play 12 games or more. And no running game to speak of. 5 - Darnold can make every pass. He really can. His arm strength is a little overblown, but his touch is vastly understated. He can throw on the run, he can throw between defenders, over defenders, and throw guys open. He is a legit NFL arm. 6 - All of that being said, Sam is a gambler. He perhaps trusts his ability too much at times. I realize he is trying to make something happen, but oftentimes his risk-taking resulted in failure. He has a little bit of Favre and Delhomme in him. He wants to take shots. That can be both exciting and frustrating. He will need to be more controlled to make this offense work. He doesn't have to risk as much now, but that seems to go against his natural instincts. Can he be coached to take calculated risks? We will see. Overall, I think the 2021 Panthers will be much more exciting to watch with Darnold at QB. It may not work out, but it won't be for conservative play.

Burris is more of a SS and a big nickel. We are lacking a true FS with starting potential on the roster. Kenny Robinson fits the profile better than anyone else and he is a huge question mark.

Anyone know why Nixon slipped so far?

Pick coming up for Panthers soon Simi Fehoko WR, Tommy Doyle OT, Daviyon Nixon DT, Dylan Moses LB, Caden Sterns S I expect all of those guys to be in consideration.

32 1/4 inch arms is very worrisome. But he has every other tool to be successful.

Jabril Cox, Ronnie Perkins please

Panthers have moved down with Bears...

Honestly, from 2013 forward? Not bad. And depending on the continued growth of Gross Matos and Chinn, pretty damn good. Not to mention Muhammad, Jenkins, Rucker, Minter, Grant, and even Marshall (he was a solid nickel).

I personally don't like it and wish we would invest more in the offensive line. However, I also don't want them to reach for a player. I do believe in taking the BPA and filling the holes with depth and competition. It's really too bad that Sewell went one pick before us. Reminds me of when Clady went right before us and we went with JStew.

From what I understand, his medicals weren't good. He was talked about as a potential 1st rounder before that.

On paper, we have a championship worthy defense. Which is shocking to say after the amount of turnover we have had in the past 2 years.

If his medicals checked out, I would love to have Landon Dickerson. He is like an Alex Mack and Nick Mangold hybrid. I would also be very happy with Jabril Cox (BEST coverage linebacker by far), Dillon Radunz, or Jeremiah O.K. I'll shrug at a safety. There are guys I like, but none that I am ecstatic over.

And we didn't give up a draft pick or move up to get him like that arrogant ass, Sean Payton did. I truly despise that man.

I actually think that is why they took Payton Turner. We took the guy they coveted and now they want to kill Sam Darnold by bulking their D-line. They took the wrong guy... but the goal was still there.

I don't know who my dislike is stronger towards: The Saints team, Sean "Mouthful of Juicy Fruit" Payton, or Saints fans. It's literally the most difficult version of F, Marry, Kill ever.

If you mean fat, heartless slobs, then yes. No more of those.

What is he saying? Straps?

I think he meant the rumor that we were intrigued by him. I think second on Rhule's wishlist is the player having a passion and attitude for the game and preparation for it. That was Fields' biggest question mark.
