Originally, I was all about staying at 9, taking a WR, and then hoping Hooker fell to us in the 2nd round.

Looks like he'll go somewhere in the first round though, if you can look past his knee and age, I think he's a great prospect, and his age concerns me more than the knee, ACL's aren't as big of a deal these days, but being 4 years older than most rookies is a lot for a QB.

Aren’t you one of the people not wanting Young because of he could get hurt but liked a 26 year old prospect coming off a torn ACL? I know draft capital is miles apart but come on

Yeah, it just didn't get reported I think partly because it didn't fit the media narrative that this was a race between Young and Stroud and the Panthers were sending out very mixed messages. What we were hearing and what the Panthers were showing was very different. There's still a few interesting things that have been mentioned that wasn't reported as well, but not quite as newsworthy.

For example the meeting with a certain TE that I and many others want didn't exactly go well. And apparently there's another member to the brain trust walking around the halls of Mint St. That no one has mentioned. 

Jim Caldwell?  He definitely is involved with these decisions

To add to that, I still don't think this is a front office and coaching staff pick. 

You “Tepper is meddling” people to chill. If Tepper meddles as you think then we would have traded up for Herbert, drafted Fields, not traded for Darnold. 
All that happened because Tepper let the football people do what they wanted. 
I think the same applies here. Tepper for sure has someone he wants but he will default to the football minds. 
TLDR: Tepper has and never did meddle. But considering some of the decisions Rhule and co made. Maybe he should have.

Torn ACL's don't really scare me much anymore, not with today's surgical technology, they're far from the concern they were even just 10 years ago.  I'm much less concerned about Hooker having constant knee problems due to the ACL than I am about Young's frame holding up over a long career.

He's also 25, which yes, I don't like that at all for drafting a QB, but if we were able to get him in the 2nd round while keeping the rest of the capital, I'd have liked that situation more than everything we gave up to draft a QB that scares the living hell out of me in regards to being able to stay healthy.

Well we know Adrian Wilson is on board now as well as the special forces guy whose name I've forgotten. Haven't seen anybody really mention either of them much.

Mind you, the offseason tends to be when changes like that get made but sometimes they're not announced until after the draft.

I honestly can't recall hearing too many news items of that sort this year though (other than the ones mentioned). Typically Neil Stratton reports on those things and I haven't seen much out of him this year.

It's one that hasn't been mentioned at all, but I'm not sure why.

You heard a name or is it just "somebody" right now?

As to why, might not be official yet.

I know I've personally been hoping they'd somehow steal Lake Dawson from the Bills or maybe Trent Kirchner from the Seahawks.

Hell, Jon Robinson is still a "free agent" if I remember correctly. And of course there's always Kevin Colbert 😆

      The other draft picks have turned out pretty well. Brooks will too.

      Updated 2025 draft order

      I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.
