Rivera told Solomon Thomas that he would be the pick if he was there at 8

I don't think this is necessarily a big deal since I'm sure he'll be long gone by 8 anyway, but it gives us a little insight into the Panthers board. That tells me that Thomas is, rightfully, above both McCaffrey and Fournette on our board.

So what's the penalty in the NFL for reneging on your guarantee? What happens when Garrett and Thomas are both there at our pick? Sorry, but this has no weight in what I think we are doing. If Thomas is there, it is because several other 'Tier 1' players are gone (Adams, Fournette), which would make this a no-brainer pick.

Why would there be a penalty? Doubt there was any real "guarantee" anyways.  Teams tell players what they want to hear. Was watching the NFLN 2005 draft program the other day where they went into detail about that year's first round, and the Cowboys said to DE Marcus Spears that they'd take him with their first pick. Well, they didn't. They took DeMarcus Ware, and still got Spears with their next pick.

Then i really hope he's not there at 8.  I know a lot of experts are high on him, but I find him incredibly overhyped.

I think the hype matches his game. He's really fuging good. Consensus top 5 player in this draft, and rightfully so. If teams ahead of us go QB or for need and he falls into our laps, any fan of the team should be ecstatic. Would be like Star falling to us in '13.

Nothing. No penalty. Ask Aaron Rodgers when he received a "guarantee" from the 49ers that he would be the #1 pick.

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      By fanpanther · Posted

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.

      In my dream, we somehow luck into a top 2 pick and someone wants a QB bad and doesn’t want anyone else to jump them. Somehow we’ll probably screw up the picks anyway, but it would be nice to do even partially what Chicago did to us. We’d have to lose out, which is a decent possibility unless Tampa is resting. We need Atlanta to stay within a game because Atlanta beat Tampa twice. The rest of the draft slots are who knows because Jax plays the Raiders and then Tennessee and you never know who will rest starters. I think we are top 7 unless we somehow pull out 2 more wins. The 4 win teams have higher SOS and there is only one 5 win team with the same SOS. If we win 1 of 3, we still should stay in top 7. If we lose out and the Jax games work for us, we can easily be top 3.
