I dont know bc I like to many prospects at 14.

If I really have to think about it, I'll have to say:

-Lane Johnson; yea I know, but Id hate to take an OT when we have so many needs elsewhere unless we were to part way with Gross

-Kawaan Short

-Sylvester Williams

You seriously have Lane Johnson on your "do not want" list? A talent like that guy is something you don't pass up in the middle of the first round.

Sheldon Richardson, Desmond Trufant. Both are severely, severely overrated.

Please explain how Desmond Trufant is severely overrated lol.

He is the only corner in this draft that plays his man instead of the ball.

I would be oppose to it if we keep Gross. People just wont admit that Bell is going to be the starting RT for the next couple of years, unless something happen.

Franchise OTs come through the Draft every single year. Not a single year where you're going to find a draft class without franchise OTs. Next year may even be better or just as good (Matthews, Lewan, etc). We're not going to die this year by not taking Lane Johnson. Especially, when Gross is eating our cap and we have severe needs at other positions I'd pass on an OT in the 1st.

Are you that opposed to taking a guard in the first, too?

Nope, I would highly consider a Guard (Warmack/Cooper) at 14. WHy? bc thats a need as of right now.

OT isnt. Its bad but we can live through 2013 with and aging Gross and Bell. 2014, I'll be chanting a Matthews, Lewan, etc bc then it'll be a huge need. I cant see Gross as a Panthers in 2014.

If we can sign Boothe or someone else, Id then cross RG off the draft needs but right now I would consider it.

Trufant is allergic to contact. Incredible instincts for where the play is going, but doesnt finish plays like he should. Add that to the fact that he isnt even the best cover corner in the draft and his stock should be no higher than late 1st round.

You know who that sounds like? Chris gamble.

I don't care if he doesn't like contact, that can be worked on. And he's a corner so big fuggin deal.

Trufant has some of the best ball skills in the draft for a DB and he's the only corner that plays his man instead of the ball. Not to mention he has the speed to stick with any receiver.

Because he isn't the #1 rated corner means that he won't go until the end of the first? Are you fugging kidding me? Do you ever watch the draft? Do you remember stephon Gilmore last season?

Have fun sucking off Trufant until the draft. Oh and learn to read. I didn't say it was because he wasn't the #1 rated corner, I said it was because he doesn't play tough or tackle, and also isn't the best cover corner of the draft (which would allow him some lee-way in the physicality department).

He has the best ball skills? Are you kidding me? Maybe the best at diagnosing a play, but he actually is subpar in locating and disrupting the ball when it's in the air. I have said it before, he is a poor man's Antonio Cromartie with worse hands. He could be very good, but I just don't see the effort needed to be worth the 14th pick.

Sucking off a player because I think he's worth a top 15 pick like tons of other scouts? Trufant's best attributes an potential out weigh his contact issues. He is definitely one of the better cover corners and has been playing at a high level since he was a true freshman.

Where are you getting your info from?

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
