Lea and Cox give reasons for going defense in the first.

Not with that injury history. If true,

Him and Warren lining up wildcat and other odd formations could really throw defenses for a loop depending on how creative Canales is.

You've done a lot more than I have. At this point I just watch the college games and give the Panthers games a go before getting ticked off with them and changing the channel or doing something else. That's if I watch the Panthers at all. But I do like Warren and think he's probably the only guy talked about in the top 10-15, I'd like to see the Panther draft. But that's been discussed before. I liked what I saw of Skatteboo in the season and wouldn't mind him being drafted by the Panthers in the 4th or later. As for the others,

You forgot punter, long snapper, and kicker

Seems UNC wants to do everything possible to make the tourney now after nearly throwing away the season. They've had a nice win streak going against lesser teams.

And the same can be said for every player on every team. This old positional draft value BS needs to stop, except for maybe RB. And that's my exception to the rule. Even then, if a team feels player x is the best option for them, draft him and don't worry about what anyone thinks about it.

And most recently, I'm pretty sure if you ask Raiders fans about Bowers, they'd say he's a difference maker and was more than worth the pick too.

Uh, you forget about those Pats teams that won with just basically Gronkowski? Kelsey? Tony Gonzalez? Antonio Gates? Witten? Olsen? Wesley Walls? All were at the very least difference makers and did add wins to their teams. A lot of those guys were also the #1 option for their teams too instead of some WR.

Disagree about taking Warren. Warren is one of the few blue chippers at the top of this draft and I'm fine with the pick if they pull the trigger.

Dan already signed away his career when he agreed to be "GM" for Tepper.

And Young when he was drafted.

We played that game last week. You can go back in the post history and read the answer if you want to.

Thomas wasn't a first round pick. He was a fourth, so stop shifting goalposts. And since those charts are what's out there to go by, you ok with just drafting centers, tackles, and guards in the first? Are you also alright with never drafting another first round WR(especially in the top ten), no matter who they are(Harrison jr for example), since they hit even less than TEs do? Speaking of Harrison Jr, he didn't even put up 900 yards last season, so he couldn't have been worth his draft status by your logic.

Just what the chart says, hit rates by position for the first round. It's for 2013-2017 and I got it from here, but if that doesn't work for you, I have another. This chart shows the hit rate of 2000-2019. And it came from here, here, and here.

Oh, since it's just stats and hit rate you care about. According to this, nobody should take any position but centers and RBs in the first round.

Don't care. Dude proved he could carry an offense this past season and that's about all you can ask for from a college prospect.

I hope so on both counts. I like Warren as a prospect better than any of the others that have been listed as top 10 guys.

This team hasn't done any sort of smokecreen under Tepper. Under Tepper where there has been smoke, there's been fire.
