Man, Matt Rhule is looking rough these days. For the last few months he's had the consistent look of never sleeping. 

[Mr. Scot]

Fitterer has been doing most of the talking.

Panthers war room for the draft will be in the 300 level at Bank of America Stadium. They will have 10 people, which means all are fully vaccinated, per NFL policy for this year's draft. Masks will not be required, physical distancing will be relaxed and eating/drinking allowed.

Scott Fitterer says they've talked to at least five teams about moving back and that there will be more calls this week. He says it will depend on how the board falls.

Person makes me cringe with his "Talk about how....." "questions" .  He just wants quotes and doesn't care to ask thoughtful questions.

[Mr. Scot]

Fitterer said there are about 155 players on the full draft board.

In potentially trading back, Scott Fitterer said they don't want to go past a certain point where the talent level drops off one of those top tier guys. In his introductory press conference, Fitterer said that's around 16, 17, 18 or 19.

Scott Fitterer asked if there is a QB among the top players that they feel best fits the team. 

"Yes." 

Followed by laughter between Rhule and Fitterer.

He looks hungover lol.  But I agree, he’s looked increasingly rough as time has gone on.  It’s a hard ass job.

That's a hard working man. He's gonna bring the hardware to CLT before it's all said and done.

Fitterer always sounds so nervous when he’s answering questions when I’ve listened to him.  It’s kind of endearing.  I like our FA period for the most part so keep making those moves, bro.  Public speaking can be intimidating.
