This is why I'm on the Jihaad Campbell train. High ceiling AND high floor, he's a football junky with all the measureables to keep going up from there. If you watch his tape against LSU, and 1st round tackle Will Campbell, showcases what he can become I feel.

Wonder if James Bradberry, since he was released from the Eagles, would wanna make a return back to Carolina on a cap-friendly deal. Either as a corner, or being 32, transitioning into what some older corners do, and go to free safety. Would provide great depth.

I think based on the signings, finding good rotational guys at edge and dline, that they're more confident in that rotation than they are in the backfield, since they only signed a safety and resigned Mike Jack, who was a good place holder. So at least with the 1st pick, I think they're leaning towards a corner like Will Johnson, or a safety to pair with Moerhig like Malaki Starks or Nick Emmanouri to roundout the defense. Since this draft is so deep with edge and NT help, im sure they're thinking that they can find one in the later rounds that can be part of that rotation. Just a theory.

Our base is a 3-4

Frankie Luvu was one of those 'rejects', and look at him now thriving. First with us, now with the Commanders. But it just goes to show theres diamonds in the rough out there that we could take a bargain shot at.

6'5 335 lbs, 27yo 4th rounder for the Cardinals, played on the Jets last year. Been mostly a rotational guy, but could be another Luvu-type discovery from the Jets that could blossom here. Guy was a multi-sport coming out of college, played football AND rugby at 335 pounds. Running full speed in a game like that with THAT size? That's an incredible feat. He's a low risk traits vs production kinda guy with all the measureables you'd want in a NT, and that 335 is mostly muscle! He looks lean for his size. Very athletic, but raw. Not a lot of highlights so had to go back to college: Also, he has a Panthers connection because he trains in the offseason with a cousin of his: Star Lotulelei I think he's the perfect opportunity to give a shot to a young guy with a prove-it deal, and if he can make a turnaround here, then it'll just make us even stronger.

He's a pro bowl guard, too. So if Mays beats him out, then we got a good vet that can cover all 3 middle oline positions. For one year, i'd take that.

At least when Mays was in he wasn't getting pushed back constantly into Bryce like our last big signing at center, Bradley Bozeman. Mays held his own and I think he earned the chance to compete for the starting spot fulltime.

The league said the same thing about Sam Darnold. Sometimes it's the right fit. He hasn't needed to step in because Brady and Mayfield were reliable and didn't miss games. Just saying, could be an option.

Didn't say he was the best choice, just said the familiarity could play a part in bringing him here. He was actually good in college and was in the running for the Heisman in 2020 https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/kyle-trask-1.html

"This is disgusting," said state Rep. Mandie Landry, D-New Orleans. "As a New Orleans resident, taxpayer and Catholic, it doesn't make any sense to me why the Saints would go to these lengths to protect grown men who raped children. All of them should have been just as horrified at the allegations." So... when do they sell the team?

We can't afford him. My bet would be on him getting traded to the Commanders. They have the cap room and they were one W away from being in the Superbowl.

If we don't bring him back, I'd keep an eye on Kyle Trask, the longtime backup from the Bucs who'll be a free agent this year. Familiarity with Canales, while also being the backup for the GOAT to impart that wisdom he learned would be valuable for Young.

This is the same poo they spouted when we hired Thomas Brown. "Oh man, you guys really dealt us a blow taking Brown away. He was so instrumental to our offense!" blahblahblah. If he's so great, how come they haven't brought him back? I don't trust any praise the Rams have towards their coaches going other places. Plus he's super young, what's he gonna teach and command respect from vets like Clowney? I'm underwhelmed.

Agreed, and I think that really comes with alignment of vision for the team too. It's been spoken ad nausium, but when we tried last year to blank check the best coaches available at their position, regardless of their relationship or fit philosophy-wise with Reich, and it was a train wreck. Not defending Reich, but I bet if he got to pick his coaches, it might have worked out better cuz you can't keep changing things mid-season and expect the team to be on board, especially with all the infighting and rats in the room sneaking off to Tepper. One voice, one vision where everyone is on the same page, even when we were down 1-7, they never gave up, and kept pounding the drum of Canales vision, and they eventually turned to page. Here's hoping we keep this momentum into next season, I'm feeling glass half-full on it.
