Mr. Scot

Not so sure of that. I probably wouldn't have made that trade for us, but the Chiefs are a way better team than us right now.

Chad Reuter has us trading down to #20 with the Bears and taking Alijah Vera Tucker. I don't necessarily have a huge problem with Vera-Tucker, but this is the blurb accompanying the pick. Vera-Tucker can battle third-year player Greg Little for the Panthers' left tackle spot, or slide inside to get the best five players on the field in front of Sam Darnold.

I seriously doubt this team is looking at trading up for anybody right now.

Nothing close to what the Falcons would ask for.

Somebody's going to make a bigger deal of that than they should. He added context later to say they like more than one quarterback in the top five, as well as several players at other positions.

Fitterer said there are about 155 players on the full draft board.

Specifics from the presser: Fitterer says the Panthers have talked to at least five teams about trading back.

Fitterer has been doing most of the talking.

Previous Panthers DT Woodrow Hamilton is joining the Titans.

That depends on whether you read just the parts quoted in the OP or the actual article that they came from (which wasn't linked till later in the thread).

When Marty was fired, one of the big reasons cited was that he and Rhule didn't mesh well. I agree his record should have been a factor, but I can't help thinking if it were as big a deal as it should have been, he wouldn't have lasted as long as he did.

From what I've read, I think it's probably true. I also suspect it might be one of the reasons why Marty doesn't work here anymore.

Here's a link to the actual article. Lead up to the Panthers draft (subscription required)

I'm on board.

Fields disclosed this himself.

We haven't picked up DJ Moore's either, but both are expected.

I'm just imagining being a young draft prospect interviewing with an NFL head coach, talking about schemes, my abilities, etc. And then the coach pops up and says, "all right, now we're gonna play rock / paper / scissors"

And something to watch this coming season...

Epilepsy was a big topic of discussion when I was a kid but I haven't heard much about it in recent years.

Analytics will be tracking that.
