Highlighting potential targets that have been either rumored or often mocked for us.

Going off those visits one would think they are interested in Johnson or McMillan if they are there at 8. If those 2 or gone then maybe Walker if they cannot trade down a couple of spots.

Hope it's Walker, but if Graham drops i couldn't see us passing up on him

[LinvilleGorge]

Graham, T-Mac, Walker, Warren, or trade down.

My list as well.  Graham would be amazing but I bet he’s gone.

Looking like the Panthers get will get a player that is both a need and BPA; sitting pretty at 8.

That’s crazy because Cam Ward is elite. He must smell bad or something. At worst he’s #4 on this list. It ain’t adding up for me.

Tet McMillan come on down

Apparently not. Not sure how he smells but he is far from elite and that is not an isolated opinion. Just based on what little film I've seen on him he needs a lot of work, I mean A LOT. He's not a sure thing.

At first I was vehemently against t Mac. But seeing the insane prices wr have been going for if they believe Bryce is the guy and if t mac is the #1 wr they have on the board then get him so we have a #1 wr on a rookie contract as they're now a  30-40 mill a year position

I mean, really hard to disagree with you now.

it makes sense when you are in nickel most of the time and you can’t trust if Horn will be healthy
