I'd love the team to take a chance on either of those guys.  I would REALLY love to see Willie Young on the Panthers.  A rotation of Ealy-Johnson-Young-Addison is exciting.

I like this possibility as well. Played for NC State, wants to play for a 4-3 D, cheap, plus we all know that Chicago is our farm team.

Gettles said in the post draft presser that during the draft other teams called him and offered him a current year pick if he would give up a 2017 pick and he said declined because he didn't want to lose any more picks in next years draft (7th round is already gone). With all the potential free agents after this next season, I doubt he would want to give up another draft pick for a yearly rental. That would scream "win now mode" which he said he does not subscribe to.

I completely agree.

He subscribed to it last year with a much older/past his prime Jared.  He also traded a pick TWO years out for Norwood.  He also said he thinks we'll get a comp pick (3rd rounder) next year, but didn't want to count on it.  Perhaps after May 12,  although there's no way to REALLY know, that will be a little closer to certain.  All things to consider.

Investing a day 3 pick (in 2017 OR BEYOND) and relatively little guaranteed money into much needed OT depth would not necessarily mean sacrificing future for present.  At all.  Just an option/tool on the table that can't be discounted.  One can even argue it'd an investment IN the future by helping protect our investments.

Yet there should be equal quality and cheaper depth available without sacrificing a draft pick.

At OT, considering its premium and dearth of talent league wide, I'm just not so sure.  We'll see though.

      If I’m putting myself in a team’s shoes - you’re looking at these prospects and Warren hits most boxes for a TE with a plus on most. So yeah, he’s a great prospect, no doubt, 1st round talent as a TE. But when I look at him through the lens of that PSU offense, they were running so much through him, I’m not so sure it was beneficial to seeing how he translates.  They were getting him open in the flat, running weird trick plays, and designed a lot of ways to find him on delayed seam routes and such. So a lot was structured around getting him the ball in creative ways to advance the ball, in steady sequences, methodically down the field.  Thing is, yeah he’s catching a ton, is big, and can block, but throw him into an NFL offense in a more traditional sense, he’s gonna be stickied by speedy LBs and big nickels. I just wonder how he is in a more isolated fashion— when he’s just a piece of a greater NFL offense getting shadowed by more talented defenders. I think it could still be great but I have question marks when it’s at the TE position. Will he look no different than other very solid TEs or is he this offensive centerpiece at the position that doesn’t come along often (Bowers, Gronk, Kelce, Witten, TG, etc)? I think he brings a ton and could be one of the safer TE prospects, but what I’m unsure about is if you’re really getting this new age Witten type people are crowning him as. Even if that’s the case, is that worth it? If he wasn’t in PSU’s Franklin/Allar offense, would you be seeing the same output?  More questions than anything - I could get on board with it, but it’s hard for me to really project because of how that offense was (which was so frustrating at times).

      Twitter sources, but supposedly the Rams want him. He might actually go Round 1.

      You aren't going to ever get him out of the equation. As he has stated previously, he believes it his right to make the final call on decisions.
