tell me about it. i mean can you do that? then i guess you just go BPA the rest of the way. soooo tempting to take advantage of something like that. i mean with those top three picks you're set for a good few years.

Him and Baker I keep forgetting about. Those two and Burton are going to be falling through some cracks and wind up helping out some teams.

boom or bust is how i'm viewing him as well. he will either be absolutely fantastic or just kind of fizzle. for some reason i'm just not 100% convinced on him(maybe 80-85%?). now if he's the guy we take in the 2nd round i'm still going to be stoked, but there's this seed of doubt in my head concerning him. i'd actually feel more comfortable with someone like pearsall. i'm thinking the guys that i feel the most confident in are MHjr, Nabers, Odunze, Thomas, AD Mitchell, Coleman, and Pearsall. I think those guys are the safest bets. The guys i feel really good but not great about are McConkey, Corley, Leggette, Wilson, X Worthy, Baker, Polk, and Burton (not in order, btw) For some reason Troy Franklin, Washington, and Dez Walker just have me a little skittish. Not sure why on any of them. These are all gut checks that i've noticed when i'm doing my mocks. I don't have anything statistically or quantitatively to base this on.

this one started off nicely, but it didn't take long for it to lean towards meh. the trick is knowing where positions you would like to take care of will fall off a cliff. there might be a guy or two you like at a certain spot, but if you are committed to getting the best players possible for a few positions, you have to know what you have available at each, because if you aren't paying attention you'll wind up with a whole pile of blah after your two or three good picks.

looking forward to playing around with this. seems like a good way to burn some time.

It would be a UDFA that hangs out on the practice squad.We won't use a pick on a QB.

Pearsall = safe bet

because all we do is look backward and groan and complain and think that it's only going to look the same going forward.

i would love him on the team, but i would love him even more if we had one of those multi-role guys or some kind of separation specialists drafted. but i also have to think about who we added to the WR room in diontae johnson. could he be enough that we wouldn't need to draft one of those guys and can just draft a big guy like Leggette?

I'd complain, but I'd also still watch.

We don't need stars. The more stars you have, the more money they get. The more money they get, the less you have to spread around. The less you have to spread around, the more top heavy you get. The more top heavy you are, the more likely you are to fall on your face. Build a strong foundation made up of solid players, not stars, but solid players who want to fight glory rather than the big pay day. Good teams are built in the shoulders of a foundation of "average Joe's" who have that fight in them.

i guess it was williams then. it's turning into a blur for me

agreed. he's got some rawness to him, but he's also got a lot of natural talent. he doesn't just fight for the ball, he gets it. and when he has that ball in his hand he's just as tough to bring down. plus, he's got some hustle to him. he's just exciting to watch. he makes it fun and we need that.

if i'm thinking of the right person, he was going to be meeting with the jets today then flying here tonight and visiting with us tomorrow. or maybe that was williams. i don't know.

i was curious to see how they are handling this news over at saints report and saw this. looks like they are coping about as well as we would.

oof

coleman can out muscle just about any DB. if you can't get much in the way of separation, be able to highpoint the ball and/or out muscle the DB. ideally you have someone who can get separation and who physically can get those contested catches. But being able to do either one consistently will help immensely. i'll take either. hopefully we can get one of each in this draft. a route/separation specialist and a big receiver who can get those contested catches. whatever they do, they just have to be reliable and maybe get some YAC.

it's different for every other team because they aren't panthers. and panthers suck at everything they do.

people love to complain about them because they aren't future HoFers.

He's one of a group of maybe 10 I would love to pick up in the 2nd round. I'm not going to hate on it. He's exciting to watch. He could very well be the pick. Abd of course half would hate it. But half would hate every pick just because the panthers made it. Y'all are just that predictable.

He can do both.

The more I watch Darius Robinson the more I like him. He's just plain powerful and disruptive and just fast and athletic enough to make him a lot for Olinemen to handle. Guy goes where he wants and there's not a lot you can do to stop him. Won't be a one trick pony like most edge guys either. Standing up or in 3 point stance, you can put him anywhere at any point and he'll dominate. And Van Pran... Agreed. I hope we can get him but I'm not sure we'll be able to and get the other help we need
