Steph might actually be the best Charlottean native athlete ever. Too many people forget home when they get big. Charlotte is doing well that he stays connected via the Panthers.

Not sure why, but I really liked this moment for Branch. Good on him for coming back today.

Are we getting close to Hooker-in-the-3rd time? If he's not picked by Seattle, barring a trade that sounds like the likely outcome.

Was gonna say the same thing. It had to torture them that we were #1. Couldn't use all the commercials up then.

Oooh TEN... Hooker? Levis?

This is Joey Porter Jr. for PIT. The story writes itself.

Pretty sure Malik was there--and I think by himself for a looooooong time.

I think they'd pick around 7-10 next year. I don't think they got trounced in most of their games this year and they are undoubtedly better. I think HOU goes .500 in their division. If they collect three wins elsewhere (TB, ATL, maybe one more) they're 6-11. IND, TEN, AZ, LAR, GB, CLE will all likely be worse than them, plus 1-2 surprise teams. I think HOU will be picking Marvin Harrison II next year for Stroud with CLE's pick.

Unless someone trades back into the 1st, there'll be plenty of storylines related to Levis and Hooker being picked. Seattle, Minny, maaaaybe NO...if they're drafted by any of those teams the spotlight automatically goes to their current QBs. Might be destabilizing, so not sure they're worth that risk to those teams especially since they'll all be trying to make the playoffs.

If he's not taken at 17 or 19, he's a Day 2 pick...unless someone trades up for him (which I think is more likely).

I figured PIT would be taking him.

Totally agree. What they gave up for Anderson is akin to Tepper throwing money at creating Charlotte FC. Total luxury that makes him looks like a genius if it works, and if it doesn't, no worries since they used some of their excess anyway and won't miss it as much as if they were poorer.

They may not live it down if they don't take him...Georgia player staying local? Might be their only excuse for not taking anyone else.

If there was a more perfect replacement face that you could see saying "Get the f--- off my field"...

Houston had plenty of extra to give. Little actual cost to them. They just cashed in the value they got for trading Watson.

This is the best top of the draft in a long time.

Well ok Seattle. Levis to LV...LeVis to LV...maybe it was in our face the whole time!

Yep, and would be an easy fan hit in Nashville, and could just be hitting his prime (even though it'd be at 30) right when they move into the new stadium.

Let's see what Tennessee does...Stroud, Lawrence, Richardson in the same division. They can't stay put. I think they take Hooker at 11.

I think they have cap room, and I think still at least Cleveland's 1st next year--maybe more. Plus Tunsil is re-signed, so he has his anchor.

Plus Houston still has Cleveland's #1 next year so it was house money.

Wow Houston! Stroud AND Anderson?!?!? Again, it was hard to imagine that a defensive head coach who was a LB from Alabama was going to miss the defensive LB from Alabama!

Thanks, but I kinda cheated. I'm American but moved out here years ago. @Aussie Tank however, is legit "True Blue" Aussie. There's others around though. It did my heart good to someone on a skateboard wearing a Cam jersey in here a while back. The Aussie NFL Fans Facebook group gets a lot of traffic too.

Yep, would book that flight from Australia. Only one layover to Charlotte too--easy.

This is always fun. Mine can't believe the stuff from even the 90s...but I'm sometimes shocked...mine knew what a cassette tape was for, and that blew my mind. Want more hilarity? Try explaining Y2K to a preteen.
