Mariota to the Falcons

[pantherclaw]

At this point I'd take Pickett over the pussy the browns want to get rid of, and Jimmy. 

[TheWiz]

This signifies to me that Atlanta wants Malik Willis. He's from that area. He's a great leader. Gives you the Vick feel... except with Jesus.

It really seems like our guys were fawning all over Pickett. Oh well.

Avoided Deshaun Watson and moved Matt Ryan to the Colts.

Panthers win. Texans lose.

I don't get the impression the Texans are exactly crying about the pick package they got in return for Watson.

They made a division opponent stronger and kept Watson in the AFC. 3 of their games in 2022. Maybe more if they even think they have a shot at the playoffs.

They have to be perfect with that pick package and find impact players that will at least counter what they did for the Colts and Browns to be considered a win. Browns or Texans are going to end up the big losers. Colts and NFC South are the immediate big winners.

A lesser package and keeping the Browns and Colts down would have meant the Texans could get back on top quicker. Maybe the Texans surprise and land some of the best players in the NFL Draft.

The options are getting thinner by the minute for a FA or trade.  Mayfield or Minshew are about the only ones I would be open to trading for. 

I would like to see the Panthers obtain Minshew if they don't select a QB in the current draft. He should come cheap and would compete with Darnold for the starting position this year.

He would also be a good mentor and  a great backup if the Panthers select a QB in the draft next year.

I'm pretty sure they're okay with how it turned out.

So you're telling me your not applying for Mel Kiper's job.  LOL  Than again you probably could do better than Mel Kiper.

I just have this gut feeling whoever takes Howell is going to have a good QB.  Last year at Carolina he had zero help (as compared to 2020).  It's hard to replace 4 NFL caliber players (2 WR and 2 RB) in one season.  After 2020 many had him as the top prospect going into 2021.  

I'll be interested to see how much his stock rises, if at all, at his Pro Day on 28 March.

I got this off the Carolina page.  Howell working out for his Pro Day.

Id take MHS over Mel.

we could be doing nothing.  Let Darnold tank another year and take our pick of elite qbs in next years draft

This would be the smart move and likely why it won't happen.
