It would be nice to constantly swoop in and grab slipping talent to add to a loaded roster. We can dream...

We aren't going to give up a 1st next year. Maybe a 2 or a 3, but Morgan values 1st rounders too much. We can jump up to 32 and not give up a 1st next year.

What? No. McMillian is Drake London

We need to try to move up. Jihaad Campbell, Donovan Ezieruaku, or Will Johnson (medical depending)

So Browns and Rams are drafting a QB next year, clearly. Both now have the ammunition to go get whomever they want.

Panthers on the clock...

That would be a good draft in my mind

I think we want to trade back, pick up another 2nd or 3rd and walk out of days 1 and two with something like: - Mykel Williams or Walter Nolen - Aireontae Ersery - Jaylin Noel - Safety.

Agreed. I think there is something to the rumor of Moton wanting to retire. We will see.

Yeah this seems like another attempt to get some other teams interested in trading up.

Yeah it's starting to look like Mason Graham is a Panther imo. Which would be pretty amazing considering he was once looked at as going top 3.

Sounds like a question for the ladies to settle, amiright?!

Also Joe Person:

Over Mason Graham is surprising.

To me, this says we have a specific target in the 2nd and we want more ammunition to go get him.

So... if I'm reading the tea leaves here it sounds like: - If we stay at 8 then it is Mason Graham or Mykel Williams (in that order) - If we trade down in the 1st it would be Mykel Williams, Walter Nolen, or Donovon Ezeiruaku (in that order) Makes sense, I guess. DL or Edge in the 1st is the focus.

Sounds more like the pats want the Panthers to panic and try to move up to four to get Jalon Walker so that they can move back and still get their offensive tackle at 8. I don't buy it.

Where are you hearing that from? I'd be happy about that, at the right price

So Jalon Walker is just a smokescreen? Or...

It's not

You keep saying that. What makes you so sure?

If true, I think this speaks to the fact that we really have missed Thomas Davis and Luke Kuechly as the vocal leaders on defense. Jalon does everything the right way. He works hard, he plays hard, and he rallies his guys and communicates well.

From what I am seeing these are the locks for teams drafting in the top 10: 1. Ten - Cam Ward 2. Cle - Abdul Carter or Travis Hunter (it will be one of the two, so this close enough to a "lock") 4. NE - Will Campbell (it has been leaked that people in the building are claiming him as "our guy") 5. Jac - Mason Graham 7. Jets - Armand Membou (they want Graham, but he won't be there. Next guy on the board is Membou) The real wild cards are the Giants and the Raiders. No one seems to know exactly what they want to do. I think if Hunter is there for NY they take him, but Carter is not a "need" for them, and they might entertain trades down, but anyone that wants to jump up to 3 would want a QB and that might be too rich for the return for most teams. Would someone trade up for Carter or Hunter? Maybe. But it would need to be a team on the verge of winning a championship to make that move seem logical. The Raiders could go any direction. They need help on both sides of the ball. They won't go QB because of the trade for Geno. With Pete Carroll at the helm, the logical thought is defensive back. Could Starks or Emmanwori go this high? Does Carroll like Will Johnson enough to pick him? Is Jeanty their guy? I think the Panthers spot at 8 has become very attractive. It isn't top 5, so it won't cost as much to trade up into it, and it is right above the Saints, who could be in the QB market, and the Bears, which have been heavily linked to Jeanty. I think if Jeanty is on the board at 8, Jerry Jones won't be able to help himself and will call us. Morgan will likely take the trade, add picks, and still get one of his top guys.

We are returning the same starting OL for the first time in like 10 years, and our offense has struggled to do anything well ever since Cam's shoulder went to poo, but yeah lets trade our most consistent offensive lineman.
