I just want my team to go after a quarterback, please, for the love of god, just draft a dang quarterback!
"F them picks!" -- Les Snead. Seriously though, I hope the Rams can find a few mid rounders to help the team replace some of the folks who walked
James DiGiacomo
I don’t even know where to begin with the Pats.
This draft might be pretty boring actually
DD, do you think that this and all subsequent questions you have pertaining to the upcoming NFL season should be moved to the pinned thread at top? ....j/k

Potentially boring, hopefully team-cha going (in a good way).
From a Pats draft standpoint I'm kind of torn on this upcoming draft. I'm really hoping to see BB draft a talented wideout on day 1 or 2 but at the same time Bill's history drafting WRs(outside of Edelman/Branch) has been pretty awful. With NE holding the 21st pick I'd honestly prefer to see them trade back a couple times if possible to end up in the 33-38 range while adding some more picks in rounds 2-4.
This team isn't just a few players away from contending so I'd rather see Bill take as many shots as possible to add depth throughout their roster. Keep turning over their roster then next offseason they should be able to spend some serious cap space.

Whatever he does this draft, I just want to have another successful draft. I feel as though last year's was. Probably too early to cement that in stone. We need to start drafting more players that stick around and contribute.
I think his last couple drafts have been pretty good with Mac,Barmore & Stevenson last year and Dugger,Uche & Onwenu the season before. IMO, three starting level type players in one draft is pretty good. Like I said above,we're not a few players away from contending so I'd rather just see BB accumulate some extra picks to try to hit on.

Thank you for the concern, but I'm probably going to reserve that thread for taking out my frustrations - Chef Emeril, and most importantly, my smashed dreams.
Being a Panthers fan is a nightmare, it's a sick joke. Let's take a stroll down memory lane shall we....
The Bills might hit on one or two choices. Hard to find NFL starters drafting in the 30’s with a roster that’s pretty much set. Hopefully a few special teamers and a sleeper.
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
You're right. Last two have been better. If I remember correctly 2019 was not. I think I'm general his drafting has not been great. We've had to make up for it looking for free agents at a bargain. Belichick isn't one to give guys a second contract needlessly. But we've had a lot of higher picks who don't deserve on. Just my opinion. But last two years much better. Last year was great.
The draft is here, and I'm so mad right now that I can't see straight. Our owner, David Tepper, seems to think that Sam Darnold is still the answer at quarterback, he's talking about he wants us to be patient and that Rome wasn't built in a day, that's what he said.
"I just want to say one thing. I do think we have a very good quarterback in Sam Darnold, just as an aside," Tepper said Wednesday when asked about the team's options to improve the position in the draft or free agency. Tepper requested some understanding and patience as he attempts to lead the Panthers back to contention, telling reporters, "Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither is this team."
I don't want David Tepper to be involved in personnel decisions, stay out of my life!
...
Don't worry. He's probably just trying to throw a smokescreen. 🙃
Panthers will draft or trade for a QB. The Carolina Panthers trade all 7 draft choice for Johnny Manziel, errr Baker Mayfield
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
We drafted an offensive lineman, big dude, I like his size, of course it isn't going to do any good without a decent quarterback!
I can't believe the Steelers drafted Kenny Pickett, he played for Pitt in college and now he gets to stay in Pittsburgh.
Patriots use a 1st rounder for a guard rated 91. Pretty strange

You must love this @2dueces 😂 . We deserve it. Rub it in
Ha! Buffalo drafted a CB to stop the Chiefs passing attack but it looks like they're ;13 seconds too late.

The Jets appeared to have a great night after landing a guy at 26 who was projected as high as #4 on top of their other two picks made but they're still the Jets so we'll see how that goes. I'm gonna have to learn what the hell a Sauce Gardner is by the time the season starts.

I have shirts like that.
Yes, but do you own a bad sign T-shirt? I think not!

I don't know much about him. Wasn't following this year's college and pre-draft too much. Are Detroit fans happy?
I really believe they are. He is a tremendous talent and is a real beast. The lions did go

Guy may turn out to be a 10 time All Pro. I just thought it was pretty early for him. I guess Bill doesn’t live by the best player available theory.
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
Yeah they got wore out from scoring touchdowns on the Patriots. A little more conditioning and they would have put up 54
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
So, the Panthers selected Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral to be our quarterback? I was reading up on him, he's 6'1", and our head coach Matt Rhule said "he's got the quickest release for a quarterback that we've seen in some time." I'm not sure how I feel about this.
....
Is he projected to start for you guys right away?
@doubledragon looks like he needs to pull his knee pads down and possibly wear more eye black. what else do you know about him?
I'm not sure what Matt Rhule is going to do, if he's going to start him or not. He was pretty decent in college, and he can run with the ball pretty good. He looks pretty small to me, to be honest, I don't think he's the answer at quarterback for us, time will tell but I'm not too confident about our chances.
Of course, some people seem to think Matt Corral should have been a 1st round pick, and that he will turn out to be the best quarterback in the draft, a steal for the Panthers. Here was a comment on Twitter about him:
Matt Corral was my favorite QB
So many RPOs. Super quick eyes and release.
Very few 3-7 step drops. Like 88 passes in total. Concerning. But when allowed to be aggressive, he was very intriguing.
Tough athlete, even near the goal line.

A little more conditioning and they might have been able to play a full 60mins instead of 59:47 against KC.

Hmm, I was thinking, out drafting Matt Corral is going to make Sam Darnold extremely jealous and mad, only one man can be our quarterback, so this needs to be settled, like men, on pay-per-view!
You're looking at this all wrong, with a name like Corral you need to think outside of the box.

Still tired from whipping the Patriots. They’ll save enough next to win the Super Bowl while Bill selects more mediocre guards. Maybe the Patriots will have the #1 overall next year and draft a punter.
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
Ha joke's on you, Bill would take that #1 pick and keep trading back until he could draft an entire special teams unit in picks.

Yes, I like the sound of that, and the winner will face Cam Newton in a drowned underwater match, in an ocean of Cam's choosing!
If Cam is involved then you gotta up the ante.
On a sidenote, what moron came up with the idea of an underwater Hotel room LOL?

Holy crap, that is insane, I've never seen an underwater hotel before. I wouldn't sleep a wink with those sharks circling around! The same idiot probably invented the ice hotels.
I wonder where this thread would have gone if the correct interpretation of corral had been
used. I'm guessing O.K. corral, pic of Wyatt Earp, cat meme, Cam Newton dressed in girl clothes, Ice hotel.
So pretty much the same destination. All roads lead to the Ice hotel.
For you rams fans...........but to tell you the truth, I don't remember his name ever being mentioned during a Browns game last season.

A heck of a thread old chap, a heck of a thread. I offer this gift to show my appreciation!
Let's top this bizarre, yet entertaining, thread off with a cherry on top, enjoy this video, and god bless!
Oh, the Atlanta Falcons drafted Desmond Ridder to be their new quarterback and he sounds quite determined.
