Robby and next year's 4th for a 2nd tonight for Howell? As down on the Panthers as I've been recently that would be an immediate

7th in yardage and 5th in TDs without your All-Pro #1 WR is pretty damn good.

Agree. I could see a team like TB or Minnesota rolling the dice on him. Teams where he absolutely would not need to play right away and could comfortably sit and learn.

Yep.

I've got my eye on Asamoah in the 4th at LB. JoJo Domann is a sleeper I'm watching. He's a former safety who will be a LB in the NFL. What makes me most interested is that he actually plated almost exclusively as a nickel CB this year at Nebraska. H's 6'1" 230. This is a coverage and pass rushing league. LB size with that type of cover skills? Sign me up.

2004 7th in passing yardage 5th in TDs And Smitty broke his leg week one. The guy was pretty damn good before his elbow fell apart.

Jake was basically a more fiery Derek Carr. A borderline top 10 QB who allowed you to compete.

Different era of football and he really only had a handful of years before his elbow fell apart and he was a shadow of himself. He had his best season without Smitty. You can't call him overall trash because his arm fell apart. Same argument applies to Cam.

With the upgrades to the OL I'm onboard. The staff is still a huge concern but that is what it is. Worst case scenario IMO would be trading up for Willis. He's not ready and Rhule would probably try to force him in before he's ready as desperation to save his job set in.

Moving Robby is key IMO. He was terrible last year and if his Twitter feed is any indication held going to become a locker room issue if he isn't already. I'd literally trade him for anything. If someone offered a pick tonight I'd probably take it without even offering a counter. Just send the papers.

Trading Robby for a pick tonight is my goal. Trading Robby for a pick used on Sam Howell is my ideal scenario. Either way, I'm trying to move Robby tonight.

Oh, I think it had a LOT to do with the injury. He was a road grader in Denver. He noticeably lacked playing strength here. He was a different player. Like comparing Cam's arm before the Watt hit and after. It was dramatic. Not just that but he was agile as hell. Look at this. He simply could not physically do that after that hip injury. That was a gigantic hole and a big gain in Denver and it was all because of Paradis. CMC gets hit two yards behind the LOS here if we ask Paradis to attempt to replicate that.

But you have to be able to threaten downfield. If the entire D is squatting on everything because they no you can't attack deep then there's no room to work underneath. There has to be the threat of attacking deep.

I would've preferred to trade down but I'm not upset at the pick. I don't know that Ekwonu will be the best OL out of this draft but I think he was the safest. Worst case scenario, I think he's a damn good guard. No, that's not what you want at #6 but it sure beats a bust of an OT who can't kick inside.

Agreed. All the talk about drafting a QB and downplaying vet options screams that Rhule is no longer the dominant voice in the room.

I just think his physical limitations are going to be too much to overcome. Great small college QB who was fun as hell to watch at that level but I just think the ball is in the air too long at the NFL level.

Paradis was coming off of a serious injury though. That was my big hang up on him.

Then ignore it. Funny how there's never any complaints about fanboys of any other college team. Kinda gets annoying listening to the small handful of you whine about it. Yeah, I'm a UNC fan but am I whining about picking an NCSU OT? Nope. I want good players regardless of where they played in college.

I really don't think we're giving up next year's 1st. I'd be shocked.i honestly think Tepper would veto it.

His ceiling isn't the issue. If you knew you were getting his ceiling I think he's worth a high 2nd given the run on WRs yesterday. The issue is his floor and last anyone saw he was faceplanted on it.

The problem is that he makes Teddy Bridgewater's arm look like Jeff George in comparison. I mean, his arm is college weak. I hope the kid can stick on a roster but his arm is going to be a hugely limiting factor in the NFL. Possibly insurmountable.

It makes sense to me for both sides if the right QB prospect is still available.

I remember Star's reaction. I was so excited for the pick and he looked like he needed a trashcan to puke in.
