If you need someone to take on a second team, toss one my way. Panthers are done until like round 5.

Could be a steal. Lots of mocks have him top 10

Which is basically the NFL draft in real life rule

I was gonna take a swing at Willis, but he went at 4, had the chance to trade up to 4, but chose to stand Pat simply because I had 5-6 guys graded out for 6th. Went BPA. I was wanting Hunchison but he went I think 2nd or 3rd.

I’ve got a sync meeting in 4 minutes so maybe. Usually lasts 15-30 minutes. If 5 minutes pass into my clock, use the list I sent

Not at number time. 2013- Fisher 2008- Jake Long 1997- Orlando Pace

Yep Fisher and then before that was Jake Long in 2008 and then you have to go back to like 1991-1992 before another T was taken that high

Fisher I think

Grigson drafted him...

No. I’m simply saying to at least wait until the off season is over to whine that he didn’t do anything. and if you want instant gratification, Brad’s Brass Flamingo may help you with that faster than an NFL game

Actually, they’re not. In fact, very few are. Teams and Agents generally don’t work that way. Sure, sometimes things get leaked, but it’s never a guarantee that EVERYTHING, is leaked

Every single year we go thru it and then find out 6-8 months later or sooner that yeah, we did infact target person XYZ and they chose elsewhere for various reasons. I have to say this every single year. This isn’t madden on Xbox or play box or whatever they’re called, where it’s as simple as throwing money at a player. Ballard himself just said the other day on the Pat show that they had targeted others but it was tough getting a deal in not having the QB issues solved first and admitted they’d missed out on a couple targets for that very reason. Then went on to say that they will keep churning all the way thru the off season to find someone, or even trade for someone. so patience

Who’s to say they haven’t tried?

Yes yes it does

You said Ballard could have used all the capspace and we’d have zero holes to fill. I’m curious how you think that’d be possible and with whom

Do explain how that would be possible

Because based on the title, I thought this thread might be something about our new QB, not another whine thread

Don’t we already have a thread to whine about how Ballard is approaching things? oh wait we do. And at the top of the page too:

Nope, them be the figures according to all reports, Atlanta eats most of it

Oh I know. I think the seat is a bit hot

I disagree slightly with the last part. I think Ballard’s approach is that of the long term investor in the stock market. Build a portfolio that is solid enough to weather the storms, but in the trade off, maybe you don’t see giant gains as quickly. That said, when things go bust, you never bottom out either. Eventually once that portfolio is built, you can take the big swing and be fully set. I think the talent is there, I do not think the leadership in the players nor the coaches we had last season, some of which are still here, others moved on, is where it needs to be. The stuff we all saw, the things Leonard said in that interview speak to this.

Interesting. I have some thoughts on that one I’ll share later Just stop.

And I think I’m good with the vet option. But at a price that it doesn’t hurt the future. IE, no top 2 picks. No stupid amount of cap hits for a vet. Get someone to keep us competitive and role with an upgrade next year.

Do you have a link to that interview? I’d like to hear it
