I'm not so sure about that. We just didn't get an offer we liked / apparently loved Horn. Two of the highly coveted QBs were there at our pick.

I genuinely think he's fantastic.

What happens with Fields is irrelevant. What happens with the Panthers will determine whether Rhule and Fitterer are 'gone'.

For the record, NFL teams don't release their Draft boards... ever. I watched a Ravens 'behind-the-scenes' video with their GM today and they were still blurring out laptop screens with their 2020 Draft boards on a year later. So I seriously doubt someone has told this person that Fields was QB #2 for them.

Literally zero chance that's true. Or there's a Grand Canyon sized gap between their evaluation of Lawrence and Fields. You don't pass up a CB, no matter how good he is, if you think there's a franchise QB at your pick.

I honestly don't give a fug about all that. As I've constantly said, the Draft is about loading up on talent. FA is about filling holes on your roster. My nightmare is taking say a good OT / QB cos you NEED one when there's an All-Pro CB / OG sat there at your pick. I'm absolutely giving Rhule the benefit of the doubt here - the 2020 Draft was the best we've had since Seifert was here. I'll dive into the tape tomorrow morning (I've never seen him play).

Considering he crushed the Draft last year, I'm ok with that.

Three dodgy DE picks towards the end of the 1st round there (and obviously one bonafide HoFer going to Buffalo) - two of them going to our division rivals. Looks great for us at the top of the 2nd round.

Took a DE who had 0 sacks last year...

The Pat McAfee Draft Spectacular has been amazing. He's been fading since about pick 16.

Nah, Phillips is a fantastic player. Leatherwood struggles against speed, so that's going to be fun.

Jesus so many Alabama players in the first round.

He played in the NBA.

NVM it's 3am.

Welcome to the ignore list.

Wooooooooow. Shanny you're either a genius or you're fired in two years.

It MUST be a PR move. 15 mins of the entire NFL world talking about you.

You'll find out in half an hour.

Midnight? Luxury - it's 1:20am here.

He answers to the owners and he makes them a lot of money. He's great at his job.

Of course Rhule just rocked up to that Panthers Lounge thing Kristen Balboni is running with Thomas Davis and Jonathan Stewart. Dude gets it.

Kid turned up for Olsen and Davis' retirement ceremony. He gets it.

It's one of the ballsiest evaluations I've ever seen if they've traded three first round picks for Lance. Good luck to them.

I love how for some the narrative is "if a QB falls we MUST take him" and others have pivoted to hand-wringing about "Sewell won't be there because 6 teams are going to trade in-front of us for him". It's beautiful.

My US geography must be rusty, cos I was certain Denver wasn't on the West Coast.
