Nah, there should be a guy there at #19 we need. One of the edge guys, Conception, one of the CBs and possibly an OT. It would be rotten luck if Styles, Delane, Lomu, Conception and Howell are all gone. If Styles is gone, while not my favorite, Allen certainly will be. They are neck and neck for OLB2.

I like OT Lomu as a prospect if he's still there. He's young and needs bulking and seasoning, definitely a project year 1 and why we need to re-sign Yosh and/or other LT. If Ickey is done or he comes back less than his prior self, we can move him to RT or guard. We got to have a plan in place.

Yes, the top OT is going to be there at #19. Suuuuuure. Styles is getting more buzz now than Reese. I'm not saying that he's getting drafted before Reese, but that these a lot of talk about him. I will say he's probably going before Allen, who will likely be the best OLB remaining at #19. Several mocks have Bailey going to the Saints and Tampa taking Styles, so two of my favorite guys may be going to our arch rivals. Yay!!! Good thing the Falcons don't have one because they would take one of the remaining guys I like.

I wouldn't mock this hire, guys. Dude is decent. He got 'Teppered' in Cleveland. The front office/ownership screwed him over time and time again. He's actually a good coach. Remember, Cleveland was the only team that outbid Tepper for Deshaun Watson. Give him a decent roster and we could be looking at trouble.

Yup and Chambliss is now suing for a 6th year after getting denied. Apparently Ole Miss is paying him $6M to play another year. He's not getting that in the NFL, not a 3rd round rookie contract. No wonder he's adamant about going back. Usually the NCAA backs down in such instances. Duke's Mensah entered the portal at the last moment, one source says Miami is the likely target. The ONLY underclassmen in this entire QB class now are Mendoza and Simpson, both RJRs.

Trade, trade, trade.

A popular mock for Styles is to...........the Cowgirls at #12. Yuck! But, yeah, he'll be there at #19.

He's moving up. Top round2/end round one as of now. If he has a good combine, he'll be a 1st rounder.

Reports were the Falcons interview went well. So this is a sigh of relief.

Top 10 certainly, maybe top 5. I can appreciate what he said. He basically said...paraphrased 'he strives for excellence and prides himself in being completely ready for the next challenge.' He's only a RSO and started about 20 games. He's basically admitting he's not ready for the NFL yet. In reality he was destined to be drafted by the Jets or Browns...so part of the decision may have been strategic.

Outside of Mendoza, crappy year to need a starting QB that isn't a complete project. Ty Simpson is QB2 and he's got plenty of concerns. The 2027 QB draft just got even deeper. If we miss out on this QB jackpot because we are still on the fence about Bryce Young, I just might have to shelve my Panthers fandom permanently. I can't continue to cheer for folks suffering from self-imposed mental retardation beyond that.

Moore stayed. Raiola can redshirt, backup or back out.

Wasted Years: Wasted Time:

I keep telling myself, he's just a placeholder until the '27 QB draft. Then reality sets in and Tepper is still the owner and Dan was part of the front office that drafted him. Behold:

Predictable and inevitable. Now the next strep is either going to make me question my fandom or have hope for the future.

I would love to see the divisional foes face off again in the Championship games.

Not necessarily. He's coming off injury and still has a redshirt in his back pocket. The DE is going back, Matayo U. Yeah, I'm not going to try to spell that last name. They have until tomorrow. Miami and Indiana players have a week after the game to decide.

Hopefully, someone values the experience over the youth. Lomu is very green.

One of these two will probably be available. .

First or second round OT. Re-sign Yosh, BC and a FA.

Who is your bridge QB--uh, I mean, backup for next season then?

No way we keep him on the roster if he's not the long-term starter. He's either the guy or he's gone. I know Bryce is a 'team guy', but asking him to backup as our former #1 pick because we are taking another 1st round QB is well beyond awkward.
