I was just coming here to say that if he keeps falling we need to get back in here to get him. I was good with him being the pick at 39, love getting Mingo, but if we could get both, yes please!

That’s my expectation, but probably will only get us into the 70’s though I’m guessing.

He’s significantly bigger than DJ is though

I wouldn't even give him the chance to say not to Bryce, particularly after that post yesterday. Tepper should have texted him last night telling him he needs to pick a new number as they gave #9 to Bryce.

Yea, CB is a position of need for the Steelers, he's the best non QB or TE on the board right now and they don't need either of those. Porter makes sense to them before you even factor in his dad into the equation. Just knowing how that organization operates, there is no way they're passing up on drafting Porter Jr, it's the most Steelers type of pick ever.

Yea I'd prefer Mayer, I was hoping we would trade back in at the end of the round there to get him. But I'm figuring someone will take him before we come around, which is why I was talking about Washington there more. Pass rusher may be a bigger need than TE, but I think high level pass catchers is a bigger need than pass rusher right now, need to get Young weapons, and there aren't any WRs I like as much as either TE at this point. And I think you can find effective rookie pass rushers later in the draft easier than you can find impact TE's and I think both of those guys fit with what we need right now to both protect Young and give him more weapons. Just don't take an OL, I know Fitterer has talked about that as a need, but we have a starting OL in place, really don't want an OL in the 2nd with our other needs.

Take his number from him and give it to Bryce for free If anyone will give us something for him 5th round or higher, take it, if not, have fun being our 3rd stringer this year, but you're not keeping Bryce's number and we're not just cutting you cause you're a cry baby.

These guys I'd love it if Mayer falls to us, but I am very much on board with Washington, especially with knowing how important protecting Young will be. He's massive and almost a OT as is, I think he could be great to have as an in-line TE who can help with protection as well. After those two I'd like BJ, wouldn't be against Downs either but would prefer either TE over him.

Torn ACL's don't really scare me much anymore, not with today's surgical technology, they're far from the concern they were even just 10 years ago. I'm much less concerned about Hooker having constant knee problems due to the ACL than I am about Young's frame holding up over a long career. He's also 25, which yes, I don't like that at all for drafting a QB, but if we were able to get him in the 2nd round while keeping the rest of the capital, I'd have liked that situation more than everything we gave up to draft a QB that scares the living hell out of me in regards to being able to stay healthy.

Hopefully Horn still changes to #0, I think that would look really cool on a CB and he has the swagger to pull it off.

I'm sure high school football players do/would if they sold player models (no idea if they do) But the Cam shoes that UA did were just regular trainer type shoes, not cleats, I could see them doing something like that for Young if he blows up, make a Jordan trainer for him.

Not with Dalton and Corral here, even if we trade Corral it wouldn't make sense with Dalton as the backup. Once Dalton leaves in a year or two, that's when you draft a QB in the 3rd or 4th round (especially since I'm in the camp that thinks Young will be injury prone, so yes, we do need a project QB on the roster in the near future to protect ourselves).

I'd say it makes a lot of sense with Jordan owning the Hornets in town, but isn't he selling them? Either way, this is pretty cool, if he can stay healthy and be a top QB, maybe we'll get another Panther QB with a signature shoe out there (I'll be wearing my CN1's when I head over to watch the draft with friends tonight).

Originally, I was all about staying at 9, taking a WR, and then hoping Hooker fell to us in the 2nd round. Looks like he'll go somewhere in the first round though, if you can look past his knee and age, I think he's a great prospect, and his age concerns me more than the knee, ACL's aren't as big of a deal these days, but being 4 years older than most rookies is a lot for a QB.

My guess is with the first pick, the card is probably given to the league well beforehand and they know to let the TV crews talk for a while and announce it "late in the clock" But if not, then they should wait the entire time so that we get as much Panthers discussion/exposure as possible.

This At this point they've likely told him already but asked him to keep it to just family so that he can maybe sleep better and enjoy tomorrow as opposed to being stressed all day.

Way worse I think AR will end up the best QB in the draft, so I'm hoping he goes out to the AFC, Raiders, Colts, Texans, Titans all work for me. Please no Lions either though, I'm from Michigan and don't want to have to deal with that scenario of us taking Young and then AR being a stud for my all friends' team.

I can't see it happening, would be shocked to see him get past both Detroit and the Raiders without one of them either taking him, or trading back for more picks to someone who wants him. I can't imagine a scenario where the Titans don't trade into the Top 10 to take a QB, then plus the Colts make 3 QB's taken, of which I'd be surprised if Stroud is not one of them. My concern is less about Stroud still being there at 9 as much as am I that AR will be there still. I think AR will end up as the best QB in this draft (and if not him, Stroud, I think they'll end up 1-2 in some order), but fully understand that he's also the biggest risk of the 4. But if he's still there at 9 and we could have had him while keeping the rest of our picks and DJ, that's when I'll be really angry about the trade.

I can’t tell if this is a post in support of or mocking me for starting this thread LOL Myself and a few friends had been eagerly waiting for this mock draft to drop, we still joke about his fantasy football preview last year, we have a fun text chain going on about it today.

oohhh, let me try Sir Cameron Newton: Leader of Men, Lover of Puppies...Esquire

I have this discussion with my friend all the time, who really is Nick Adams? We go back and forth on if he's just a crazy Trumper or if he's just a straight parody account. I argue that he was a big Trumper who realized playing into it can get him more clicks, some of it is too wild to be "real" But you get gems like this tweeted out back-to-back, it's actually a funny account to read through I think regardless of what side your politics fall on.
