That hype is only on ESPN.

Yeah I do not follow the Ravens or watch ESPN. They were talking about the impass between Lamar and the Ravens and seem to think it is aboutmore guaranteed money more than anything else. Said the main sticking point for the Ravens is the amount he wants with injury concerns they have. .

It's ESPN. I wouldn't put much stock in their projections.

From what was said on the nfl network a few days ago the Ravens are paying more guaranteed money to their players than any team in the league. That doesn't scream cheap to me.

I've been having trouble with the app lately. It's been slow to load attachments embedded in posts on my android. It's also slow to react to to clicking on the quote button and even jumps to the top of the page.

I get the impression that they will trade down if they cannot move up for their 1st choice. My initial guess is if they sign Carr they trade down and go TE and WR. Probably try to get a qb in the 2nd and go defense from there.

I saw that. I'm going be very interested to hear the takes from former players about this class. They have a very different view of these guys than the media blowhards do. Thomas is a Georgia homer and he admits it but he knows an nfl LB when he sees one.

I would love for us to get this guy.

If I'm not mistaken the Panthers are not allowed to contact another teams player while they are under contract. They can contact a team about one of their players but not they player himself.

That's that only spots network I watch. I've had it on all day and I never watch the combine. This year it's must see tv.

You know it's just dawned on me that I had dismissed something that Fitterer said in his interviews earlier about this draft. He said something about moving back if they could not move up for their guy. The more I think about it I'm beginning to think that moving back is plan B. He also stated in another interview that this was going to be the draft that the make a splash or something of that nature. He clarified by saying they were going to look at TE, WR and playmakers as he put it with qb being one them. Given that trading up will empty the bank of what few picks they have this year and probably the first 2 rounds next year that seems a little hard to accomplish. He's mentioned several times about the possibility of taking a qb in the 2nd round and even today he added the possibility of getting one in the 3rd round. So he's thought that through as a possibility and what he could do with the picks he acquires. He's mentioned Hooker more than a few times as a possibility which is worth noting. But today he added Duggans name with Hookers for whatever reason. Having completed all of that tinfoil hat analysis I say to you my Panthers brethren that this offseason is going to be a blast to watch unfold.

I wish we had more picks this year. This draft is loaded at defensive line and LB.

They will love someone else next week. They will fall in love with every 1st round pick out there by the time the draft gets here.

The guy he was walking with was reported to be 6'7" tall. Sounds about right. That would make Young about 5'7" tall from that view.

I have not watched any of his games. Was just curious why I've seen him ranked above AR several times. It's got me really curious to see how the staff rank them. This class is getting more hype than it deserves from the media. I think a most of it is driven by the amount of team that need a franchise qb. But I digress.

There's an amazing amount of silence on every qb except the 4 everyone is blabbing about.

I never liked his officiating but I loved to hear him explain it. He has a unique accent.

What I haven't see I a lot of talk of McKee. I'm surprised with how he is ranked among the class there's not been one mention of him. Duggan was interviewed by us I think. That surprised me as he's not in the top 5 ranks either. It's hard to get a guage on anyone outside the top 4 media darlings.

I do not "follow" anyone. I will let you decide for yourself who to believe. Don't take my word for it.

I have no preference for any of them. I do hope they do not trade multiple picks for any of them. As far as AR goes I base my opinions on the rankings of the pro scouts. From what I've seen he's not among the top 5 qb's in this draft. If we draft him i hope he proves everyone wrong, including me. I feel the same way about any of these prospects. None are a sure thing and all need lots of development. Some more than others. AR is in the more category that will need a lot of development before you will ever see if there's any promise there.

I've not seen him "light up" about any of these guys. I think fans of a certain prospect see what they want to see.

RIP Big Cat.
