You know, I'm torn on how to do this post, so I'll go with both options. Up first: We've done it! And second: Are you coping well enough? Now on to the rest of the post. We've successfully moved at least some of mrcompletely11's disdain and hatred from to the idea of Warren at #8. Take a bow fellas

That holds true for every draft pick regardless of round

We're going to have to disagree. It's not just draft hype. I didn't watch every Penn St game, but I watched enough to see that Warren is the real deal. Now, that doesn't mean he'll be surefire HOFer not does it mean he'll be a bust. I can't see the future after all.

I said it before but I view Warren as being on a slightly lower level than Bowers. Warren was the Penn State offense this past season while Bowers was a huge piece but had other high profile players helping out.

Shockey without the ego and other issues?

Hadn't been able to post that gif in a while.

I'm fine with taking Warren in the top ten. As I've said before, I think he's one of the few game changers in the top of the draft. That said, I don't think the Panthers will pull the trigger.

Setting records in the worst possible way is a Hornets tradition

Warren is a nasty dude, but I don't know if I'd say he's on the same level as Bowers. He's close though.

Smoke? Since when under Tepper has this team not tipped their hands way ahead of the draft?

Drafting a DE, a tackle, a corner, etc is a fools errand as well. It just doesn't make sense. I mean some of those guys never even get a single yard in a year.

We're just going to disagree on this. Then again, I'm someone that's fine with drafting a center top ten, or any other position except RB, if you think the guy is worth a first round pick, so what do I know?

Warren has improved a lot over his time at PSU and made a massive leap this past season while shouldering the load of their offense. So yeah, he looks to be an elite TE prospect. And that's all you can go by until he starts playing in the NFL. I said what I said. Yeah, mostly because of injuries. But I'm sure that could be said for the majority of picks regardless of position.

Vernon Davis jumps off the list and Kellen Winslow was pretty good. But let's take a look at the other top ten guys. Since I haven't seen most of these guys play because I haven't paid attention to non Panther games in years, I'll look at stats and games played. Pitts? Great rookie year, one injured year, and two iffy years. I'd say he hasn't been worth a top ten pick. Hockenson? Lots of injuries but has gotten better every year until this past season. I'd say worth the pick. Ebron? Injured and never really produced for Detroit. Not worth the pick. Davis? As I said, jumps off the list and more than worth the pick. Winslow? Worth the pick. If you look at the rest, it's a mix like every other position with several guys that will probably end up in the HOF such as Miller, Lewis, and Clark. That's if they're not already in it.

If the dude can be a true #1 option, and I think he can be, then it's not a wasted pick or trying to be a poverty franchise. It's taking a game changer, which the Panthers need.

Love taking the kicker with the last pick. And honestly, the panthers should do that.

NIL and the portal strike again

I think Warren is one of the few first round talents in this draft. This draft seems really light at the top, but good for overall depth. And Lord knows, good depth will be starters on this roster.

I don't and quit watching before Christmas when the make a wish mess hit the news. I just found it funny they lost by over 50.
