Crystal balls are overrated. As far as "regardless of the year he has..."

Yeah, it's not like we just invested in arguably a top 10 Edge with top five upside or a top 5 off-ball LB in the game or anything. Not to mention two day two picks, one with a first round grade last draft...

I mean, I could call people retards for obviously thinking that this process begins and ends with Bryce, like he's a guarantee to be the Panthers starter in 2027, much less our forever QB, as has been suggested by some.

Great! You're above gossip.

Well well well, here's a little something different than ad nauseum debates over the first round draft pick. Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini were holding hands and hugging--they say innocently--at some resort in Arizona. On its face, it could be innocent enough, but I still don't know that every husband or wife would be down for similar unnecessary touching in any type of setting, much less what's considered a romantic getaway. Some people probably don't see it as a problem, but couldn't be me. The Athletic is even doing an investigation of its reporter, who apparently has been accused of a questionable relationship before in 2015, though the Commanders' GM's wife later apologized saying that her remarks were unfounded (according to Google AI). If there is some fire to the smoke, Russini definitely got the downgrade. Vrabel? The sly devil.

That whole debacle with X pre draft was a teaching moment. They kept things close to the vest last year.

The Panthers should draft BPA, period!

First, apologies @MHS831, I know you began this about tackles, and it was good. But... Frank, your post is just another Bryce sucks post. You obviously believe, like your buddy, that if we draft a WR it's all about evaluating Bryce Young or coddling Bryce Young. In short, it would be about improving the damned team. If anything, if Bryce is as destined to fail (or is already a failure right now... irredeemable), then another playmaker at WR would just seal the envelope and send him on his way. In my world, that's a good thing. If some of you think that Bryce is a lame duck, then why wouldn't you want to set the offense up for the next QB to come in and be dropped into the offense to have success? Or, maybe you think it's all a moot point anyway because Tepper sucks, Dan Morgan sucks, Canales sucks, Ejiro sucks, Brandt Tilis sucks---everybidy sucks! If that's the case, then why does anyone care who or what we draft? Obviously some of you have all the answers and can run a gotdamn franchise better than the FO does now.

Honestly, you don't listen to a word I've said either. A board, WHERE THE BPA comes from, IS GOING TO HAVE POSITIONAL VALUE BUILT IN! Damn, man!

And BPA is not even something magical, but y'all do y'all.

It is not; I don't care how many times you say it. You obviously don't believe a word that Dan Morgan says. But if it makes you comfortable to believe it's a myth, then believe on!

And, for the record, I would love to get Monroe Freeling. He's a fellow Bulldog, teachable and will be an excellent choice in my opinion.

No, I have been consistent. Take the BPA. You don't reach down over a position to take a lower graded player out of a sense of need, or some decidedly arbitrary notion that you can't draft a position three times in a row. That's why I have debated WR. Don't reach down! That reeks of desperation which doesn't lead to the desired results. No one knows how the draft will fall, so all we have to deal with is "ifs." I've consistently said that you follow your board. It's that simple. If your BPA is OT, take him. If it's safety, take him. If it's LB, take him. If it's EDGE, take him. If it's WR, take him. It's that simple.

Because maybe, just maybe, a WR is the BPA. I know, it's simple, but it's a long-standing philosophy. The first round has several solid options. If there is a run on tackles (which there probably will be at the top), then you have to pivot.
