could be Radunz--but I doubt it. I would not mind seeing Creed Humphrey and Cosmi---shy smith was great for Rhule in SR bowl, so maybe...

I am sensing Cosmi.

Loving all of them.

This is going nicely for us...so far.

done your homework Bubba! They are also better pass protectors that run blockers.

we are going to take forsythe or Spencer, or maybe even Ball, OTs etc. People will be mad, but I would get it.

Folks, 2 thirds can get you 2 second rounders.

we go their 51st or so, their third and sixth They get our fifth. I am OK with it, the way it is playing out. We are going after the UCF S and a T.

this is jenkins

oh well---we see the OT crop dropping?

we traded with bears

Looking like it will happen--if they dont trade Did you hear them earlier mention that the Panthers tried to trade up? Jenkins or Moehrig? Popcorn

Not trying to derail a productive thread, but BENJAMIN!!!!

OK so they had Horn the #1 CB on their board. A shut down, press, man-coverage CB who is as good in Zone as he is on an island. Last year, teams completed 71% of their passes against us outside the numbers. The team did not get off the field on 3rd down HALF of the times. We were ranked 31 of 32. Colleges had a 30% completion rate against Horn--think about that. There are no CB1s available in free agency. There are no CB1s available after picks 1-20. He was the #1 player on their board at #8 for that reason. What part of picking that player means "scared" to you? I seriously doubt a second QB or Slater would have been able to cover Thomas, Jones, or Evans. I seriously doubt they would see the field much if the defense can't get off the field. It was the ONLY move they should have made--and yes, they wanted Fields and Slater--Tepper wanted Fields badly---what argument do you think they used to convince the owner to sit back and let them take Horn? The one I just provided.

If we move back, Mond, Trask, Mills, etc.?

I think you have to have a permit. It is $35.

Because I sense tension and see myself as the Huddle ray of sunshine, I wanted to introduce some Tackles that may be unloved or misunderstood. I like them all, and I think they have the tools, fixable problems, and the experience to start soon in the NFL. I include some IOL that I like too. And if I am right, you will all ignore it and claim that you already knew this: Best offensive lineman available if we trade back or sit at 39: 2nd Creed Humphrey C (MHS choice for Center) 2nd/3rd round Wyatt Davis G (plug and play starter—love him as a G) 3rd round: Stone Forsythe LT (my sleeper pick—good pass protector, bad run blocker—fixable- MHS CHOICE) 3rd round: Spencer Brown Swing T (Long arms, ability to play LT-MHS CHOICE) 3RD/4TH Josh Ball, LT (35” arms, very underrated. Was impressive at SR bowl. MHS CHOICE)

I hope we trade back. I see a few gems at the top, but I see a plateau after that. Plug and play.

Jackson at nickel? The nickel is basically a substitute for the OLB on passing downs, but they have to mix it up on occassion. I prefer a S who can move, like Hartsfield. "In summary, the nickelback must be able to tackle, take on offensive linemen, read routes, move laterally, cover quick receivers, cover elite receivers, cover in short areas, cover deep and rush the passer. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2657993-next-big-thing-the-rise-of-nickelbacks-the-nfls-most-versatile-perfomers It requires a special athlete, and Jackson (unless someone can convince me) does not fit that mold. A versatile performer---Hartsfield seems made for the position. I see where Chinn could do it, but I do not want him there much.

Here is what people (me included, because I too am a people) forget--the draft is for 4 years, not next year. If it takes a player a season to develop, you scheme around the weakness and fill it with 1-year vets until that player is ready. Jordan Gross did not start at LT his first season--he played RT for a while. I think we are going to find a LT, but maybe not an opening day LT.

Yes--Travelle Wharton round 3, Ryan Kalil Round 2, Moton round 2--we could have a solid OL after day 1--and since today's draft is deep at OT (despite what some say, I see 3-4 who can start very soon) we will be OK.

I hear Rhule loves Grant. Might want to get to know him:

As rather unpopular as this pick seems to have been, it is perhaps the pick that will improve the Panthers more than Slater would have. And if Darnold balls, the Fields pick just becomes a player we trade to another team for the same value in 2-3 years. It takes a while for things to come into focus, for you to see their rationale, but CB is a trainwreck, and we had no CB1. That is worse than not having a WR1. I wonder how this might impact how we use Chinn, our S, and I am very happy Jackson will not be allowed to get near a 6-5 #1 WR again.

Snow I seriously see us taking a safety in round 2. and there is an edge, DT or two, etc. there. Remember, Seattle's "Leigon of Boom?" Is that where we are headed? And i have to admit, our current S situation bothers me a bit. Another thought from my slightly-active brain--we could go Center (IOL) here--there is better value there than at T. Ultimately? I think we trade back.

I think we had that coming into the draft.
