Stay at 8 and take who is there. Keep. Our pics in the 2nd and take who is there because it still will be great talent when we pick

Correct.

This draft is loaded with talent at least through round 3. Take the best available at each pick and we will come out with 3 or 4 really good players.

Trade 4th round picks on down all you want. But not any of our first 4.

Actually, I'd think about trading down if the price is right. I'd try to pick up another two and a three. I'd grab Howard later in the first, and hope that Budda Baker or Melifonwu, Bolles, Takk McKinley, Charles Harris, Zay Jones, Tanoh Kpassagnon, or someone would be available in the second and third rounds. My RB would be Jamaal Williams. And if I wanted to just for the helluva it, I'd pick up Perine or Chris Godwin at some point.

Just think what Getty could do with a first three twos and two threes in this draft.

But, yeah, I'd think about trading back up to draft Howard or Davis, or possibly Bolles or Ramzczyk.

There are good players into the 5th round this year.  We are not one player away and the age on our DL and uncertainty on the OL and WR makes me want to use every selection we have.  Depending on the player, I might package the 2 second rounders and move up, but that's it. We need to come out of this draft with 5 or more contributors over the next couple of years.

Not so sure I'd definitely trade both 2nd rounders for Howard. If we could give 40 and our comp pick in the 3rd instead then maybe I'd be more inclined. Would, though, give up both 2nds for a top DE that drops much further than expected, which I think is very possible.

Or for Ramczyk, who I really like his upside, mean streak and technically sound play. Would give us a very solid OT situation going forward without relying on Oher to be healthy and if he is would just be an added bonus and we'd have incredible depth there.

    • Yep, even if you put aside any discussion about what you think about him as a player or how good he'll be, the one thing that is a 100% certainty is that he's going to make some plays that just drop your jaw and question how he did what we just saw. This is interesting as it was something I'd never even thought/heard of until he was walking on stage after we took him.  One of the analysts on NFL Network brought it up saying something like, "I don't agree with this idea, but I know a lot of college coaches tell the star WRs to purposefully take plays off when they know it's not coming to them" It was interesting because the way he said it, almost sounded like he's heard that it was something the Arizona coaches would tell T-Mac to do.  Which on a team like ours last year, actually makes a ton of sense, because we had NOBODY else who the defense had to worry about.  So instead of taking him off the field to give him a breather, just throw him out there on the far side of the field as a dummy to keep the defense's attention and then run a play in the other direction. You're right, he isn't "as quick" as Evans, because he's quicker.  Sure, Evans does use his body better than T-Mac does, but T-Mac is a better athlete with more wiggle to his game and better at making a defender miss whereas Evans is just more likely to run through you. And your edit here is basically just an add on to my above comment, as personally, I've used the AJ Green comp for him ever since his first game for us at Arizona, it was always who I saw in his game.  He has that fluidity that Green had to him, and at their size it stands out. Actually saw another comp last night that I hadn't seen before, and while I'll admit it's been YEARS since I've seen any film of him, my immediate reaction was, "oh wow, that might be a real solid comp for style of play" And that was of Plaxico Burress. I'd like to see T-Mac have a better overall career than Plax had (especially off the field), but from what I remember about his game, the comp for body/style of play actually seems pretty solid
    • Dan signed up shortly before he opened the pizza place, kind of did a little promotion on here to get panther fans to stop by. Several huddlers reported back to say they met Dan at the restaurant, and that he would hang out and talk football and that the food was good. (I thought it was average and kinda overpriced, he wasn’t there when I went). Since his interactions were going positively, he would post from time to time on topics and give a bit of his insight. Problem is it that was around 2009, the year after Jake melted down with the 6 TO game in the playoffs, and basically started the season with similar performances. Everyone was livid that Jake got an extension that offseason and the consensus of the fans was that it was time to see what Matt Moore had. Dan in one of the threads (and in an Interview on 610) said that what he had heard from the team is that Moore was struggling with the playbook and that why he wasn’t starting. People got mad about that and started saying things like oh that’s your concussions talking…and unsurprisingly he left (but without any sort of announcement, he just stopped posting). He probably wasn’t here for more than a month or two tops, the restaurant closed that following offseason.   Dragging the pizza joint didn’t really happen to my recollection until it was announced that he was the new GM and a few of the crazies (OP of this thread among them) equated his restaurant not succeeding to not being fit to be in charge of football operations. You know, typical huddle stuff.
