I have had the same thought--even though I want a LT badly. I have stated that it seems the Panthers have addressed the T spot to some degree--$8m guaranteed to Erving on a 2-year deal, re-signed Scott, Daley is available if he is not injured, etc. But we let Curtis Sam walk out of here and have reacted by signing a WR that had half the yards and receptions last year. You have to think we are not done. I think Moore #2 is a WR #4. Maybe the slot is open. TE is also a weapon, and upgrading at TE in this draft requires that you take Pitts if he is there. Suddenly, you have a dangerous person in addition to your dangerous WRs. So here is the plan---get weapons and get more dangerous. Moore is not bad at slot if you have Pitts. If you don't get Pitts, you need one of the big playmakers, and who is the draft's biggest playmaker at slot WR? Waddle. Moore/Anderson/Moore#2/Pitts Moore/Anderson/Waddle/Arnold

This guy thinks Brown is a first rounder I stand corrected---this is the most underrated OT in the draft. Pretty sure that he was not on the Rhule side of the SR bowl--played for the other side. Hoping Rhule would have had full opportunity to get to know him. I am of the mindset--if Moton wants big money, let him go get it. Do not see much of a drop off here and we could save $80m over 4 years in cap room.

I think Jenkins could go top 15, but most have him at late first, early second. If you look at trade value, that is more underrated. You do not have to be unknown to be underrated. Untouchable, I have been spying Brown for some time now. I think he (like Jenkins) has been on the right side, but he has the athleticism to convert. He will go second round and people will be startled. Yes, startled.

There is always that one player that you remember that shows us how stupid we are about the transition from college to pros. Not just us---the GMs and scouts. I mean, they weigh them, interview them, watch hours of film, and they make them run drills, jump high and far, lift weights, take tests, and the success rate for first rounders is about 55%? Why go through that much trouble? Flip a damn coin. Waddle was the slot WR with 2 pretty good WRs on the outside. He can scat, for sure. Here, the situation will be pretty similar. So maybe there is something there. I look at positional value, and a LT is worth far more than a slot WR. So for me, it is a no brainer--I hope he is gone before we pick.

BOLD prediction. What is it you see that speaks to in such a manner that we all cannot hear it?

Which brings us back to Darnold. I agree 100%. Not that Darnold will be successful, but we can probably all agree that he will be more successful.

I sorta agree, but when the season is on the line....That is how kids bust. Herbert was supposed to ride pine and got thrown in too early. He is OK. Watson, Cam, Murray, etc. started week 1. It is a rough way to begin. Three games in preseason and 7 in regular season is not unthinkable.

I am pretty sure our board goes something like: Trevor Wilson Fields Sewell Pitts Waddle Chase Slater

Or you could move back and take Jenkins---I am high on him, not drugs though. Just say no.

Why they signed Cam. But they are not putting the entire season on his shoulders. Lance can develop and could run most of the offense designed for Cam. Nobody is suggesting that Lance start day 1, but Week 6 or 7? Maybe.

It makes no sense to do what they did in free agency and walk into the season with only a ? at QB. They are all in, and think they can contend again with a QB. I am nearly certain that you are right--anywhere from Atlanta-Detroit

If you think about it, securing Darnold was a brilliant move because it cost nothing compared to what being in a situation where we HAD to move up would have cost. We know Darnold will be better--better coaches, better weapons x 10, better OL (in theory). Better defense. So we get a better QB than he was in NY, pretty much guaranteed, a kid who flashes big time arm talent but has some lower body mechanical issues, and we get a 24 year old player. I am not sure we need to bring in a first rounder right now.

Kraft would show up at the draft in nothing but a towel AND all his draft picks and some lotion.

Sshh. On April 28, I am going to Redit and tell everyone that he was once a woman then had surgery to come back for the prom because he already had a date and purchased a dress then started to have another surgery to revert back but forgot what gender he is so he is conflicted.

Yes--2-4 are elite.

Interesting--was waiting to see one that did not reach the top--in my book, there are 4qbs and 3 elite-generational talents---but my emotions put an eighth one in there.

Very underrated then and now. He was better at LG, but you could play him anywhere. Slater reminds me of Wharton to some degree. I am not comparing their talent levels, but their style and versatility...

So were we.

Good point. You don't see that stuff on these tapes. But his technique is solid and that tends to reduce penalties--unless he loses it between his ears.

exactly---draft some bookends. I would not mind trading up to get him at the end of the first round....You know he would be an upgrade to moton and you would get him on a five-year deal---saving you about $20m per year on average over the next 4 years--I think we can trade Moton too, and prolly get a high pick for him in 2022. Slater and Jenkins? Shhhoooooooot yeah.

Some folks are going to be sick in about 2-3 years when these guys they over-analyzed are lighting it up. And others will be trading their picks for a sixth this year and a second and fourth next year.

Nice way of looking at it.

All in on Tackle. Watch the Tevan Jenkins video in the draft thread. I wish he were a LT, and wonder if he will be tried there. Arms shorter than 33"

thanks. Watching it now. We know we are going to get a good player. I was not happy when we drafted Kuechly or CMC. I hated the Beason pick. I was not a Cam supporter for the same reasons they are questioning Fields. So I am going to keep my ego in check because, "If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with." I just made that up.

Nice. Did he give the driver a contract?
