If the Panthers didn't take a RB in the first they could have been starting off the second round with:

RB Joe Mixon
RB Davin Cook
OT Cam Robinson
CB Kevin King
CB Quincy Wilson

And if Mixon and Cook were gone, we could have picked a guy with our late 2nd rounder.

They can probably still (and should honestly) draft Cam Robinson.

Robinson is Oher 2.0. Solid run, iffy pass, way too many penalties. Dude flashes dominance but I can't remember that the last o-linemen that impressed without consistency. I'd rather have Lamp or Morton.

Trading up in the 2nd two consecutive years to draft QBs that belong in the 4-5th seems like A+ plan Macc.

I'm gonna have to see them do this again before I believe it. It makes zero earthly sense.

Well considering they were trotting out Oher 1.0, Oher 2.0 would be an upgrade.

Oher 1.0 was ok for us but has a broken brain, Robinson at the worst can be a RT or a guard, and the Panthers aren't likely to be able to keep both the guards on the roster since both of them are loving amazing. I know it's a poo poo offensive line draft but I wouldn't have thrown my toys outta the pram if we took him at 8. I wouldn't care if we got him in the 2nd. Failing that they still need pass rush and defensive back could be a lot better. I liked the assessment of this DB class when it was said that its very deep, but not exactly elite at the top end. Now the big guns are off the board the panthers can get some good value and depth for safety and CB.

I would be okay with Oher 2.0. We need a RT, because we are rolling the dice on Matt Kahlil at LT. If Robinson develops maybe he moves over to LT in the future, but if not I am okay with drafting a solid run-blocking RT to plug into our heavy run offense.

I like Lamp as a better prospect but he is a guard, and Carolina has a very strong interior. Turner is a Pro Bowl RG and Norwell is fantastic too. Also I think Lamp will be gone before Carolina picks again.

Having recently watched Baltimore draft a CB at the top end, I do not like that assessment. Especially since it seems true.

The Bears bidding against themselves versus a new GM is interesting. I wonder if Lynch parlayed his inexperience and the recent S.F. management woes into a solid swindle, where Chicago were less diligent than normal.

Most sports have unwritten rules about targeting RFAs or being under-handed in trade negotiations. A recent example is a veteran GM in hockey (Holmgren in Philly) offer-sheeting Nashville's star for 14 years and $100+ million, and then (from what I've read) stepping down because many GMs froze him out of future trade discussions.

When I read "bid against themselves" I typically think of Texas paying A-Rod 25%~ more than the next highest reported offer due to desperation and/or flawed info. I don't recall off-hand an example of Team A outright lying to Team B about competing interest from Mystery Team C. Leak rumors through the media or exaggerations of tangible offers, sure, but could a GM get away with whole-cloth inventing an offer from Mystery Team?

John Lynch owns and it'll be funny when the NFL eventually employs spies because the stakes have become so high

Although it's a handshake deal I guess, the Giants probably didn't offer as much

if that tweet was saying the Giants wanted to trade up for Maholmes, Schefter deleted it and also Giants beat writers are saying it's not true

The Giants interviewed Mahomes a few times before the draft and definitely seemed interested, but I highly doubt they were willing to do anything close to what the Chiefs did to get him.

Hey everybody, I know you're tired of this corporate sponsored circle jerk, but guess what? It's not even half done. Hurrah!


What would you like to find in the draft today?
That hidden gem WR short in height, high in grit? That explosive athlete on the d-line that has never seen a football field? The courage to pull the trigger and end whatever horrible compulsion keeps you tuned in? All that and more JAGs than you could shake a stick at are waiting for you in Day 3 of the NFL draft.

I'm looking at Corn Elder, I guess he is a CB which we need, always thought he was a D lineman because of his name, am I a racist?
