LOL

After all the poo I've taken on here the last year with discussion about him, you're damn right I'm going to cook up a freaking storm right now.

Despite all the words I've said since the pick was made, I'm still at a loss of words to accurately describe my feelings, it's still very surreal to me that T-Mac is a Panther, I feel like the NFL might still be able to step in and take him away from me, I mean us (LOLOL), somehow.

Some of y'all seemingly hate to see other people happy. It's weird.

You know when I won't be happy about this pick?

When it completely ruins my fantasy draft this year, hahahahaha.

We do an auction draft and while I have the most historical success in our league (same group of guys for about 15 years now), my one flaw is that I have a real hard time not overpaying for the guys I have a soft spot for and our league has gotten good at getting me to over bid on them to get them.

I'm so screwed this year, I'm going to have to put a very hard cap on my budget for T-Mac and not allow myself to bid a dollar over it.  I've already made the determination that he's going to be the first player I nominate this year so I can get it out of the way early and don't sit on budget waiting for him only to over pay or not get him in the end.

looking for reasons to like the pick....our QB and both WRs can get the extra extension year if we so choose.  That's important.  Now after Bryce gets his deal (which should not be a record setting one) we may have to choose which WR to extend, but we have 4 years of a cheap trio at expensive positions.  good to have that core together for that many years.

Not that this pick needed a cherry on top for me, but just saw that not only is T-Mac the first player the Panthers have ever drafted from Arizona, we were the only team in the NFL that Arizona had never had a player drafted by before.

So the Panthers take their first Wildcat and Arizona now has had a player taken by all 32 teams.

Cherry.

@tukafan21 I'm happy for ya man. Drafting Julius Peppers is what originally made me a Panthers fan. When your college team isn't a traditional powerhouse you're not going to produce a ton of top shelf draft talent so it's even more exciting when your NFL team drafts one.

I’m an Auburn fan so I’ve been lucky with Cam and DB as early 1st rounders.

And now we take Lathan Ransom who is from... Tucson

We just picked up an entire new cities worth of fans in the last few days.

Let's go Tucson Panthers!!!!
