Some of the best news you will see all day

This is glorious and almost but not entirely offsets my angst over our inactivity at WR so far.

anybody got receipts on the board that wanted him here?

I seriously doubt it.  The only close to good things I remember about him on this board was just after he was drafted most people were hoping he would develop which applies to all draft picks. It’s been all downhill since that point.

I know you think you're being funny, but seriously, if we didn't have so many problems on defense that guy would absolutely be a candidate at 8.  He's a really, really good player and would give us a legit WEAPON at TE.  Sanders is great downfield - no doubt - but Warren actually blocks.  He's not a GREAT blocker, but he gives excellent effort.  And as a receiver . . . man, he just makes plays.

I don't see us pulling the trigger, especially with Sanders on the roster and Tremble returning.  But Warren is worthy of a top 10 pick.

Warren is BPA and we are devoid of talent in a lot of places, not just defense. Reaching for need at 8 is a horrible policy. 
 

Draft Warren. Take Skattebo in the 4th. Everyone else can be defensive picks. I want to see Tyler Warren and Cam Skattebo line up to run the Panther Prowl from the 1 yard line, with no one able to stop it, ever.

If you draft Warren then you get one of the best receivers in the draft. Two problems addressed with one pick.

Wanted Ian here? Not exactly, but some thought he was a steal at the top of the 4th round.  See if this sounds familiar?  Tall, athletic, big build, but a raw prospect that needs to be coached up reach the potential he didn't achieve in college. He was meant to be a Panther...it was written in the stars.  So much so, they couldn't part ways with him until it was absolutely certain he couldn't be anything more than a TE3.

As TE#3?? 
 

Yeah no.

Strictly the Raiders blocking TE, to take the wear and tear off of their top two studs.

Ian Thomas has a very specific talent and anyone who has worked in the corporate world has seen it: He's an unseen survivor -- that lower end management guy who just goes meeting to meeting, coffee mug in hand, takes some notes, says little and hangs on through re-org after re-org, survives every downsizing and somehow just keeps stays on the payroll. 

Dude certainly hasn't had a Hall of Fame career, but he's hopefully generated a generational changing wealth for his family. Good luck to him in Las Vegas, may he get five more years there.
