Yeah--they are looking for Lloyd's partner in crime. A will LB, one that can cover. Last year, we got killed over the middle on third and long. I think this guy fits the Morgan mold.

At 19, you are right. Move back, grab 2 day-2 players if that is the deal. I might have a small list of players who might fall, but if they are all gone, get on the phone.

I have the same thought--almost identical. However, take a look at Ohio State's Kayden McDonald. I know he is listed as a NT, but the description of his play and his stats tell me that he can play up and down the line--dare I say it--like D. Brown. I think he is a NT, but I also think he could play 3T. This draft is so full of edge players and I see some on Days 2 and 3 that could be steals. WR? We need to be good enough beyond TMac to keep the focus off TMac. We are not there yet--so I see it--

Before I watch--gonna guess: 1. DT/DE 2. Will backer 3. Starting TE 4. FS 5. RT depth 6. C depth 7. CB depth

If they sent the GM to scout Hill, it looks as though we are not going with Wallace as the Will LB

Yes. I was being self-deprecating.

I recall when he was drafted . I did not want him because he was too small. I called that one.

4th is early--5th maybe? It depends on the run of QBs on day 3--there usually is one. However, he could drop lower. I think it is a given that the Panthers like him, so if anyone else does, it could improve his stock. 1 month away--I am taking Friday (April 24) off work. They'll understand.

i was watching this situation---thanks

I am thinking we draft a developmental swing T later than round 1 now. I get the feeling that if we draft a T, and we will, it will be Moton's successor, not Ickey's. A developmental guy maybe? (World, Shelton, etc). It is important that we do not appear to have given up on Ickey and they think it is too early to tell. Drafting a LT is a 4-year commitment.

II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth. We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts. I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year. That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign. We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL? That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs. They need to start getting younger on the OL as well. I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it. RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel. Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency. DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player. Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025. Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2. The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB. We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year. I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade. Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned. Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.

They are broke by 30-33. (nearly 80%) https://finance.yahoo.com/news/charles-barkley-reveals-why-nearly-095700400.html

They should contact you before making any personnel decisions.
