Crazy draft talk didn’t actually start until January.
Usually that conversation starts in October for us lol

Dan’s about to trade away the roster for 600 draft picks
It’s good to have contingencies and fallback options.
I sent my film in. It’s AI and I’m 50, but who knows.
whatever strategy they did for last years draft, do it again
That’s amazing, this is how you find hidden gems in the later rounds
At least they are taking looks at everybody I guess 🤷🏼♂️
Dan don’t play around, goddamn
When I briefly worked for the Panthers on the business side, I remember a conversation among the coaches about scouting. They were talking about how many players the scouts were expected to evaluate and joking that they must be crazy because it felt impossible to truly assess that many guys.
Every other team: “How did we not have this guy on our board?”
Panthers: “We did…. Because we had all of them”
Let Dan cook.
I think this was from the Jon Gruden Hard Knocks, but the HC was telling all of his assistants that there were 101 guys on the roster and he wanted to keep every single one. It was their job to whittle it down to 53. A lot of these young guys have a lot of upside and have played their last football without knowing it. Cast a wide net and see what we come up with.
We’re bound to get one of them
I am more excited about the UDFA gem of the year than pick 19.
Coker, Fitzgerald, maybe Corey Thornton is a good track record

Ah what a shame.
I was their 601st. Just missed the cut.
MORE
Hopefully we can get at least half of them!
