It's pretty predictable after a while. I know how to time it to get guys I want while changing a little direction now and then.

Yep. Throw as many as we can out there and see what/who works

3rd round, run to the podium with the card Pick 39....maybe, depends on if we got a stud WR before. Pick 33....

I'll just keep saying it... Legette ≠ Mingo Mingo never had a year like Legette had last year. I think what was seen from Mingo his last year in college is probably a good indicator of his ceiling in the pros. i feel the same is true for Legette his last year. I know that's not usually a reliable indicator, but what Legette was able to do once the opportunity for him finally presented itself and the number of ways he was used and has been used really shows what he is capable of and it's a lot more than Mingo. I'm not giving up on Mingo, but i don't believe he will ever have the success that Legette will have wherever he goes.

he's a tough sell for me. the only thing he does incredibly well (compared to the other guys we are looking at) is run fast and a lot of the reason he does is because he's only about 80lbs dripping wet. seriously he's 5'11 and weights 165 lbs. of course he's going to be fast. i don't know that he gets more separation than some of the others and he definitely isn't going to be able to muscle down the contested catches. straight line speed is good, but not sure if it's the best fit for the QB we've got. Just some other WRs that i think bring more to the table. that said, if he's the pick...

my thoughts. if, for example, the pats miss out on a first round QB and they come knocking you'd better listen.

i think it all depends on who we really want and where we think they are on other interested party's board. if we think there's a clump of WRs we would be good with in the early-mid 40s, then if the price is nice then go right ahead. either one that makes one of our later picks early or just gives us another one without having to drop any pick more than 10 spots. just the way that i've been looking at it all. one thing i would really like to see move up earlier is that pick 240. i really hate that one. just talking about in the mocks i've been doing. it's a royal pain. if we cna bundle that one and move up to a <150 pick i'd be happy. other than that i don't want to lose any picks. either shuffle them around to give later ones better position or add picks. it's all a big gamble, though. you play it wrong and you wind up on the wrong side of a run you wish you had been in on. one thing to consider that i haven't really messed around much with is trading for picks next year. I don't want to lose any picks this year, but if we can turn that pick 39 into a 4-50 pick this year and a first next year do you take it? What if the 33 gives you a first and second next year, but you have to take a early third this year for it as well and your first pick in the draft is 39? so many scenarios to contemplate and not outright disregard. it's going to be fun but can also be tough to watch.

i saw in one of my mocks a day or two Thomas, Jr and i got to thinking about him and he seemed as much of a project as some other ones we have talked about as well. Thinking about some of the other options we've will likely have available...i don't know. it would be hard to choose him above them. I think i've just been attracted to the realistic options we've had that it seems those top few are just in another draft altogether because i don't even notice them. It wasn't that long ago that Keon Coleman was talked about as one of the top 5 but now he's apparently an option for us as well. the whole thing has been nuts.

i voted mcconkey, but my feelings change fairly often. there's so many of these guys that i really dig. One of my favorites that you don't have on the list is Jermaine Burton but I'm also starting to pay attention to Malik Washington more. I think these two and several others on your list would be good second WR taken options. If we go Ladd then maybe pick up Leggette (if available) or Burton. If Leggette is our first choice then either try to pick up Pearsall or come back later and get Malik Washington. These are the directions my mind takes when I'm thinking about them. And then, if possible, come back late and get Ainais Smith as a third WR who does all the dirty work.

i was thinking about doing something like this for a WR duo i'd/we'd like to see but i couldn't figure out how to do it correctly. Wouldn't necessarily be the two favorite. It would be two that complement each other. glad you did this, though. will be interesting to see what others are thinking.

I wouldn't necessarily stop watching it, just understand that what they say about the panthers might be uninformed and come with a certain narrative that they've attached themselves to. But this is also true with a lot of other teams out there. What we see about other teams might not be right, either. One thing that you will notice is that sometimes you will have people who are hard up for attention who will try to jump on whatever narrative is being spun at the time and see if they can ride whatever wave is going there. Often these chumps will be a few days or a week late to the party hoping for some residual wake from those waves in case someone still cares about that one thing. last week i think it was merriman or some other clown that was trying to jump on some little wake about us. it's all just noise to push aside.

the national media has teams and players it loves and then it has some that it loves to pile on. that's one thing to consider when you are looking at the national panther narrative being spun and why we shouldn't care what they say. none of it should be taken very seriously.

it's nothing that serious. it was someone who has been banned many times before that i noticed when i was cleaning out the spammers and their mess.

i saw the first. loved it. i saw the second...decided that one was enough.

i was already sold on him. great hire.

They're scared of hope

Being realistic is no fun. I want to have fun with this team while I can.

We aren't bound by our history because those who are responsible for our history are not making the decisions. And no, I don't consider Morgan guilty for Fitts mistakes.

And good riddance to everyone we lost. I bet Dan Morgan was pissed at the culture we had become which is why he stayed and is why he chose Canales. We needed someone who can change the culture and identity. We didn't need the best stats guy. We needed the best guy to affect the culture. Canales was the best choice.

Two of the supposed big acquisitions we made last year, him and that overrated RB we bought from Philly, were shown up by chumps we already had on the roster. Good riddance. Don't blame that weak poo on anyone else.

Dammit

Speaking of this loaded WR class, if we don't come away with at least two WRs I would call it not just missed opportunities, but a fail.
