It does show that "retreads" are not all that bad. It depends who the retread is. If for whatever reason Canales doesn't work out, there will be people writing off any dude with previous HC experience outright, which is stupid.

Eh, it depends if he's any good or not depending on how the conversation is framed around Bryce Young.

So it isn't going to happen with the Sanders 'crew' being Raiders, but all the signs were pointing that way. It's the Raiders saying no thanks, but the the Sanders family definitely was interested.

How did y'all miss Ray? Nearly dead last--131 of 132.

Why doesn't Evero like the prototypical 3-4 NT? You know, the 330+ pounder in the mold of a Sumo wrestler.

I suspect he's put it all together in year 4 to get a new contract.

You see, if the ball is thrown underhanded and hits him in the jersey with lined with velcro and the defender falls down, his YAC potential is through the roof!

A dare say a RB coming off an ACL injury is at higher risk than a LB to re-injure the knee due to cutting, shifting, stutter stepping etc... That bore itself out. I get the shoulder surgeries with Wilson, but he was/is healthy and had dropped to the point where the risk was worth the selection. If he had a clean medical, Wilson would have been a late first rounder.

I've barked up that tree regarding Brooks and Wilson. It's hypocritical to take guys off your board/severely downgraded them due to past injuries (currently healthy) only to draft another player who was actively rehabbing from injury. Our front office is so damn incompetent. I like Morgan, but dude HAS TO do better this time around or he can go hang out with his buddy Scott Fitterer.

But they blocked him from interviewing for the Bears HC vacancy? Oh well, I guess he'll get that interview opportunity after all just days later. Strange how Jerry Jones works.

McMillan and Franklin weren't first rounders. Apples to apples, Ladd looks better. While,yes, he went at the top of second round #34 overall, when we moved up--XL, Coleman and McConkey were the choices and we took XL. The move up wasn't the main problem, the player that was the rawest of the three that we drafted was my gripe.

Armanti Edwards finished up his college eligiblity? Lol! His name immediately popped into my head when you said that. I'm not sure if that was the intended reference, but yeah, pretty spot on.

Only in round one. Hurney nailed about every one of those. His hit rate after day one was ugly.

The Bucs were in the playoffs anyway even if the Falcons won. Their DC was toast for the body of work from the entire season, not just the last game.

So we are still trying to 'fix' the offense while our defense is historically horrid. Spot on for our Panthers. I see what is going on and it's dumb. If Thielen retires, then I kinda get it. On the other hand if we trade for a #1 WR and still can't make the playoffs next year, then it's time to clean house--again. Fug it, i'm over baby steps and moral victories.

Hurney was at least smart enough to take the no-brainers in round 1. After that is when he did his best turd polisher-in-chief gimmick. The BPA philosophy really shouldn't change until day 3. There are few, if any, slam dunks on day 3, so if you think there's real gem out there that needs the extra polishing, THAT'S when you roll the dice on those type of guys. In the first 3 rounds, take the most NFL ready guy on the board that can help your team. That's unless you are so stacked at that position that is doesn't make sense. Very few team are in that scenario, however.

I liked: McConkey, DeJean, Fiske, Frazier, McMillan and Franklin. All three of the WRs had better tape than XL, yet we traded up and took the guy that needed the most development. GM, scouts and coaches can't help themselves when trying to 'mold' underdeveloped players. Take the freaking layup and draft the more polished player!

If he bags it here, that's the reason we'll never be any good. Paying backups starter money is a cap nightmare. Not unless they intend on making him the starting center or cutting/trading Moton and making him the new RT.

Funny enough, Pantherswire listed the ex-Panthers on the playoff teams and the majority of them were on the practice squads. Washington had the only roster where our ex-players were exclusively on the 53-man roster.

No.

It's a package deal with Shedeur. If Deion can't get assurances the Raiders trade up, I don't think he takes the job...assuming it's offered. I don't think Prime will be a great success in the Pros, but probably won't be a total failure either, say above average. Remember, the top three teams need QBs. The best scenario for team Sanders is two of the three QB needy teams go out and get someone in FA. I'm not sure the Titans grab a rookie again, so a veteran is probably in the cards for them. The Browns are in their 'win now' mode and don't have the time to develop a rookie, but you never know. Back when the Raiders were top 3 before a couple of late seasons wins, I thought Sheduer was the most likely spot being 'next door' to his pops in Colorado. I hypothesized that if the Raiders ended up with the #1 overall pick with Sheduer being the guy, Prime would bolt from the Buffs without a second thought. Everyone knew Pierce was a dead man walking, so a HC opening there was quite likely.

Ya don't say? Call Miss Cleo. The only question now is how does Sheduer last to #6?

Nix took everyone by surprise. I was higher on him than most, but a lot of people thought he had a very low ceiling. I'm telling you now, people crapping all over 5th year and Graduate QBs because they are 24 and 25-years old are missing the boat. Conversely, any QB younger than a true junior should come with major red flags--they are too underdeveloped.

Funny, Smith-Wade was the only pick I liked out of our entire class. Things that make you go hmmm...

Beside these QBs, one was shelved the whole year, one only started about half the season and the other a few games. The later two didn't look bad in their limited playing time, all things considered. Nix and Daniels are in the playoffs. Why couldn't we have waited one more dang draft to take our QB? 2026 is one draft away.
