In short, no...it would absolutely be a first in NFL history.

Reports are Watson wasn't satisfied with his morning poop in Houston today. I wasn't sure which of the 12+ threads I should put this in, but I guess this will do.

Who says the Panthers are unlucky? Dodged a slow rolling dumpster fire right there.

Go Pack and Bills! I will be rooting for Panthers North in the Super Bowl. Even without the ties to Carolina, if Tampa and Saints both have a lone ring in their miserable, pathetic existence, the Bills fan base is well overdue for one too.

Gantt...eh, more like Gnat...he's one iota above horse dung and David Newton. Not great company. Voth was the best of the bunch.

I'd be happy with this one too. Got all the positions I wanted, but some of these guys I haven't looked into a whole lot, YET. I drafted them off name recognition around some positive tidbits of news I've read.

I know it looks bleak for us people, but only a couple things have to break the Panthers way to get QB#4 (who I think will be Fields, FYI). Miami is unlikely to deal Tua this year and regardless of the ACL tear, the Bengals are sticking with Burrow. That takes two teams out of the fold leaving 5. Only two other teams have to take a non-QB. Very likely. It takes two to tango and what are the chances that all 3 teams ahead of us with disgruntled starting QBs are able to deal them? Throw Deshaun in the mix and you have 4. Highly unlikely. So that means one or more teams are sticking with their current guy and will attempt to patch things up. Super risky to draft a prospect and bench your current franchise QB or draft a guy to sit behind a butt-hurt starter. Drama ripe for serious organizational dysfunction. At most, 2 guys get dealt. Most organizations see this thing playing out badly for League moving forward and want no part of it. Butt-hurt QBs around the League demanding to be traded every year...not a good look. I think a lot of the hot temperatures will cool off, meaning some teams ahead of us will stay put with their current guy. The result being the Panthers will likely get QB #4.

Okay, so we know Trevor is going #1 to the Jags. So that leaves Wilson, Fields and Lance as the remaining top 10 QBs. Let's break down #2-#7: -#2 Jets- Darnold staying or going? Depends on which day and which source. -#3 Dolphins- Tua should be solid, but rumors are Miami may be open to shopping him already. -#4 Falcons- Ryan is on the downside of his career and this is a loaded QB draft. May take one just on that fact alone. -#5 Bengals- Drafted Burrow. Should be the ONLY team ahead of us not even considering a QB. HOWEVER, he did tear his ACL, so......... -#6 Eagles- Wentz was Deshaun, before Deshaun stole his diva drama thunder. So is he staying or is he leaving? -#7 Lions- Stafford wants out, that's clear. You can say the Lions are moving on, but Stafford was the one that initiated the breakup. AND -#8 Panthers- YES, we need a QB but will not take Mac Jones here. Move back several spots and take him OR move WAY back and take Trask. Roll your eyes people, yes, Trask will not only be a 1st round pick, but a top 20. As an avid draft guy (not a self-proclaimed guru mind you) you don't get key positional runs this early without a domino effect. If, and this is a big IF, the big 4 are gone in the first 6 or 7 pick, Jones and Trask will end up getting a much bigger pay day as a result because teams will get incredibly nervous. That said, until at least 3 teams settle on what they are going to do with their current starting QBs (Jets, Eagles and Lions) it is impossible to even mock the top 10, let alone the first round. The ramifications are too profound.

If the big 4 are gone, I would. Trust me, Lance will leapfrog Fields as QB #3 before the draft. Fields runs too hot and cold. Remember, going into this season it was Trevor, closely followed by Fields and a distant third was Lance. Wilson pulled a Joe Burrow-type season (was really on nobody's radar last year) and has overtaken Fields, while Lance creeps up many big boards. Actually, Daniel Jerimiah currently has us drafting Fields at #8 as QB #4 because he has Lance going to the Falcons. *Note: A shoe will be thrown at the TV if the dirty birds draft my preferred QB! Of the 4, I think Fields has the lowest ceiling. He either has to figure out (or be taught) how to keep motivated or whatever it is that makes scratch your head because he obviously has some top-notch talent, but you only see it in patches.

Here's one I'd be VERY, VERY happy with:

Kudos, what did you have to do to bribe Zod?

Trust me, I noticed it too.

The 2nd round gems: Samuel on offense and Chinn on defense.

Solid. I would be happy with that draft. My only critique would be Sermon was a luxury pick...a nice luxury pick, but needed some more help on defense (CB and/or LB).

If Fitts is as smart of a GM as they say he is, he's gonna hard pass on Watson. I mean 2 firsts and a trade maybe, but 3 firsts just to get a foot in the door? Nah....

I'm not sure how many of June 1 designations you get (it's either 1 or 2) but KK should definitely be one, if the only one.

Designate him a June 1st cut and wish him well.

Mine too.

He went to college in NC, but grew up in Alabama.

Yep, he took a middling Colts team to the playoffs on his back, not in spite of his play. It's sad he didn't get out of San Diego sooner.

Here's a good one. Yes I took two centers, Lindstrum moves to guard, but we have our backup center built in. That's how your double dip folks!

Apparently OTC says we are getting a Daryl Williams comp pick now...again. They have flipped back and forth so many times on this. Wouldn't shock me if they retract it again. The Vernon Butler comp pick in the 5th seems solid though.

We traded a conditional 7th round pick to the Bills for OT Millhouse? or something a couple years ago. The dude played a handful of snaps at LT and we ended up cutting him, IIRC.

Totally agree, but the franchise will outlast the player. So the Texans can be as stubborn as Deshaun wants to be. Yes, they have to eat his cap, but it's not like they are going to close up shop if he decides to hold out.

Dude, you know my mocks last year were legit. Now, It may have been a one-year wonder and Hurney may not have been the driving force behind all of the picks, but I was freaking ELATED with last year's draft.
