If we can get a 7th for miles, do it

Give him away for free if someone agrees to take the contract

Unless you mean no swap

We got a future 2nd and a 5th this year to trade down from 39, traded that 5th and our remaining one to move up to 46

It's insane how we do things ass backwards 

They should have picked Jackson Powers-Johnson and Brooks and the plan would have made sense. I can’t believe they plan to go into the season with a guard coming off some serious knee injuries converting to center with no backup plan. Classic idiot panthers.

This^ I think the Cowboys wanted him bad.

Screwing over the Cowboys by stealing their coveted player is a bonus.

the Panthers were the first to take a RB.  One that blew his knee out and isn’t even healthy.  And this is a weak RB class. We also happen to be the worst team in the NFL.    

I mean, maybe walking out of this draft claiming you were the first to draft a RB in round 2 isn’t a brag….and we shouldn’t have be demanded to like or are a Debbie Downer.  That’s just not how teams do it 2024

Ok where's our next pick?

Morgan better hope this all pans out or he is just another Fitt 2.0.

My guess is they plan to move one of the new guards to center in that situation.

OK, if you were going to build a system around a young, small QB who got hammered last year, what do you do?  You follow the Saints' model and bring in two stud guards.  You add a first round WR.  You trade for an X WR.  You add the best RB in the draft, one that blocks, catches, and runs.  We may add a TE tomorrow. 

You see, when the Defense is not afraid of your guards, your WRs, your RB, and your TE--they tend to pin their ears back.  That makes playing QB very difficult, something some of the more astute Huddlers have noticed.  Now they have to fear our OL, WR Johnson, WR Thielen, WR Legette, RB Brooks--all pretty elite. The Defense is less likely to pin their ears back.  This is how Payton designs his offenses, and why they call him the QB whisperer.  Yes, we will run the ball and I think we will feature motion, short passes, slants, etc. with a focus on YACs.  The RB was an important piece, and I doubt the RB we needed was going to be there in the fifth.  I hate drafting a RB, but I understand it.

65--gotta be corner, but if Wilson is there, we will take him, imo.

I think the Giants would have taken him and they picked at 47, Devin Singletary is their lead back and Daboll likes to run.

Leggette wasn't my favorite but love the Brooks pick.

Some old heads are stuck in the 3 yards and a cloud of dust days. There’s a reason bad teams are bad and it’s decisions like this
