Icege

Words cannot describe the hurt that I felt when I realized we wouldn't be getting him.

To be fair, I'd take Phil Snow over Greg Williams too. fug him.

Tepper is the reason that the staff felt the need to move on from Teddy asap rather than allow the rebuild to take place. To be fair, he was interested in Fields but that meddling resulted in his shitty staff pulling the trigger on Darnold over the rookies to try and compete now (might have been communicated that that was the expectation? idk). Would have much rather the team sacrificed Bridgewater behind this awful OL so that he could be cut after the season and the team retain all of the resources lost. That would have allowed the flexibility to draft Fields or Jones rather than pass due to everything invested in rushing to replace Teddy with Sam.

All of this pls

I will never say no to the Saints being miserable.

ngl he was somebody that I thought we would for sure target as a UDFA due to the Penn State ties and need at the position Might be looking at a Christensen-Jordan-Erving-Miller-Moton line

I KNOW SOMEBODY THAT PLAYS CENTER

Yea, I think Muma goes in the late 3rd but if he slips to the 4th omg pls run that selection up.

Only if he stops injecting himself into conversations about the QB position. Missing $20M + a 6th from this season along with a 2nd, 4th, and $19M from next season all so that Tepper could be appeased. We could've been sitting here freeing up $21M in cap space with Fields or Jones starting after sacrificing Teddy behind this year's OL. But we have an owner that thinks like a Huddler. Now look at us: behind schedule and in even greater disarray than before. You hate to see it.

I vote that any time the team is under .500 that the bot be banned

Tremble's block on that 33yd Cam run was perdy

Oh fug, not the same quad pls

Does anyone know where the Panthers can currently pick at the highest vs. lowest yet? After this week, we likely will be mathematically eliminated from the #1 overall pick. I don't expect the Jags, Texans, nor Jets to really turn things around either. #5 seems to be the goal if trying to look on the bright side of another ass beating.

They played Becton at LT. Moses is their RT and is on a one year deal. Now if they resign him and the Panthers think that Moton can line up at LT...

I don't see Evan Neal getting passed the Jets if they don't retain Morgan Moses. Between Pickett, Willis, Linderbaum, Ekwonu, and Cross we are bound to see an impact player in the first though.

Can I dream that Sam Tecklenburg is so bad that a team offers us a 7th for Pat Elflein?

Between Pickett, Willis, Cross, Linderbaum, Neal, Ekwonu, and Hamilton the team has the potential to at least make this first round selection count. Big fan of the top 3 DEs as well, but hopefully they get taken before Carolina picks so that it ensures they take OL or QB. I wouldn't be mad at Hamilton, tho it would be the least efficient use of the pick imo.

That Buchanon run was incredible. Missouri kicker probably feeling dumb af for the salute now lmao The more I see Charles Cross, the more excited that I am that between him, Linderbaum, and Ekwonu that the team is bound to get an effective starter on the OL if they go that route in the first.

Profound sadness

Refreshing the page usually gets rid of them for me.

100% agree on TE2 being a need, but I'm admittedly not up to speed on this current class. There is a definite need for pass rusher depth as well. Reddick and Haynes are both gone, and Fox can clear up $4M in cap space if somebody trades for him. There are some REALLY good pass rushers in this draft too. OL being as strong as it is this coming draft means we need to at least get a starter + depth that develop into a starter. A 3rd would be great to pick up if Fitterer goes bat poo with day 3 selections again.

Currently, I have Carson Strong mocked to us in the second if we can trade down and still nab Linderbaum :3

1. Tyler Linderbaum, C, Iowa It's that time of year again where fans divide themselves into two camps: LT or QB? I'd like to propose a 3rd camp: Center. LT is commonly screamed for as the 2nd most important position on a team due to protecting the QB's blindside, but the league's best pass rushers aren't coming from just the blindside. They're coming from all angles! I recall reading an article years and years ago that did a deep dive into which position was statistically the most devastating to a team and QB was shockingly #2. Losing a center was the biggest impact to a team's playoff chances, according to the data. Am I proposing that the center is the most important position on the field? Absolutely not. Am I proposing that drafting the best offensive lineman is more beneficial to the Panthers than drafting the 2nd best tackle after the Jets inevitably scoop Evan Neal to replace Morgan Moses after his 1-yr deal expires? Yes, I most certainly am. Tyler Linderbaum is THE #1 OL prospect this year, and he's got the type of background you want in an interior lineman: a former heavyweight wrestler (so he's great with hand fighting and leverage), former defensive lineman (so he's got that built in nastiness), Academic All-Big Ten (so he's a hard study), and more. He's also a leader, being one of seven sophomores named to the 2020 Iowa Leadership Group and also majoring in enterprise leadership. This dude is a beast, and having him and Chrisensen on rookie deals together will help with offsetting Taylor Moton's escalating cost. 4. Chad Muma, LB, Wyoming I'm just going to let the good folks that handler Wyoming's website do the talking for me on this one regarding his 2020 season that followed up his break out 2019 year: "Chad Muma ranked No. 2 in the Mountain West and No. 6 in the nation in tackles averaging 11.8 tackles per game. Muma also ranked No. 8 in the MW and No. 41 in the nation in tackles for loss, averaging 1.3 TFLs per game, with 8.0 total tackles for loss on the season. He also averaged 5.5 solo tackles per game to rank No. 4 in the Mountain West and No. 20 in the country. The junior led Wyoming in tackles (72), tackles for loss (8.0), sacks (3.0) and solo tackles (39). Other statistical categories he ranked among Mountain West leaders this season are: No. 8 in fumbles recovered (1) and No. 14 in sacks (0.50 per game / 3.0 total sacks). Muma recorded five double-figure tackles games in the six games he played during the season, including: a career best 17 at Colorado State, 14 at Nevada, 13 vs. Boise State, 10 at UNLV and 10 at New Mexico. At Nevada, Muma had 14 tackles, including 10 solo tackles, 1.0 TFL and 1 forced fumble. Versus Hawai'i, he was credited with 7 tackles, 1 fumble recovery and 1 pass breakup. At Colorado State, he recorded a career high 17 tackles, including 1.5 TFLs. At UNLV, Muma had career highs of 3.5 TFLs for 26 yards and 3.0 sacks for 25 yards to go with 10 total tackles. Against New Mexico, the junior made 10 tackles, including 2.0 TFLs, and he concluded the season with 13 tackles vs. Boise State." 5. Obinna Eze, OT, TCU An absolute mammoth of a human being, Obinna Eze stands in at 6'8" while weighing in at 315 lbs. He transferred to TCU to replace the Panthers' own Brady Christensen a LT after being a multi-year starter at Memphis. Eze is a little bit inexperienced with the game of football, having only had two years of HS (1yr of varsity) football due to Tennessee eligibility rules regarding international transfers (his family is from Nigeria). He's got the meme-able measurables that Matt Rhule has barked about, though his height and experience do show with his pad level from time to time. He's physical in the run game and those long arms allow him to reach out and grab rushers before they can get momentum to bull rush him. 5. Matt Araiza, P, San Diego State THE PUNT GOD. GO ON TWITTER AND LOOK THIS MAN UP RIGHT NOW. 6. Chase Lucas, CB, Arizona State A versatile corner that can play inside or outside that is also an efficient tackler, Lucas would be solid depth for an already talented position group. He was a US Army All-American High School RB before converting to CB in college. Those RB ball skills show up once he secures the ball and he becomes a threat to score, so there might be some potential as a returner as well. He's got great instincts and also shows good route recognition, so he'll be able to contribute early on in zone coverage. I expected him to take a bigger step forward as a player this season since he was returning as a graduate student, but there wasn't much of a difference production wise. 7. Reed Blankenship, S, Middle Tennessee Reed Blankenship is an incredible athlete. He runs the 40 in the 4.50s, posted a 38" vertical, and a 10' broad jump. When he was in high school, he showed incredible versatility by rushing for over 3k yds, passing for over 1k yds, and receiving for over 1k yds. There was significant time missed in 2019 due to a broken leg, but he showed no signs of slowing down following the recovery. He's shown the ability to cover over the top as well as line up at the nickel to cover or blitz. The kid is also a two year captain and is a core special teamer for MTSU. He could realistically compete for a roster or practice squad spot, work his way on to special teams, and potentially even be able to rotate in on the defense as early as his second year. Going to probably pushing out a bunch of different mocks until the draft, so I'll just update this thread as I finalize them. :3

Being able to trade back and still acquire one of the top OL prospects + gamble on a QB in the 2nd would be incredible. Or grab the #1 QB but still grab OL in the 2nd. Either way would be awesome, but I'm concerned about nobody wanting to trade up plus these assclowns picking another CB
