Zay is interesting for me. I live in Greenville, NC and have seen him up close many times. Initially I would have agreed with you, but after hearing what some of the coaches here have said of him (I have a cousin on the staff) the consensus is that Zay was limited by the system, not the other way around. He has been practicing like a pro for the past 2 years. His father and uncle were both pros. He has worked on all the routes and all the finer points of playing WR at the NFL level for 2 years. If he isn't our number 2, there will be a lot of people who know him very well as a player that will be surprised.

Not sure yet on Milano, but the other 3 I'm with you. If we do indeed get 4 solid starters out of this draft it would be a big success compared to recent past.

I just don't see him as a 10 sack guy, but maybe I'm missing something. To me he's an edge setting run stopper and I don't think that is a bad thing.

I expect minimal explosion and burst as a pass rusher but remain hopeful he plays decent against the run.

I was really hoping someone would start a GM related thread. Your contribution here has been fantastic, keep it up!

This 100x over. It is so hard with the giant monkey on our backs, but they've got to see it through.

I live in NC and know a ton of panthers fans. Most of them know nothing about football at all, but the few who do and the ones I trust, think we knocked it out of the park with both of them. They'd honestly prefer McD and Beane to Rivera and Gettleman.

Call me crazy but I never minded the guy. He seemed to bring a reasonably objective perspective most weeks.

Agree, and thank you.

There is nothing that upsets me more than thinking about an innocent little one suffering or sick. It's heartbreaking. Keep fighting little guy. God bless you and your family.

Whatever year it was we signed TO.

I've seen most of his games in person and one thing that is mentioned in this video that I totally agree with, he is very good in tight spaces. He will pick apart a zone and give his QB a window.

Maybe I was just completely over Rex's antics, but put me in the camp that is really happy with McD so far. I'm normally pretty skeptical. I think this guy is going to make us all believers soon.

Probably the guy who made all the draft picks and signed the 2 DBs we've picked up post draft. I'll give you one guess. This is 100% McD's show.

So Tim, have you ever seen the naked pics that Russ is blackmailing Terry and Kim with?

The JL story sounds like mole bait to me.

This was my first thought.

There is a lot to process here, but at the end of the day I'm really just worried about one thing. Did Leroi get fired? Did we lose our source? The rest of this...meh. McD is the sheriff for better or worse.

Is it possible Whaley stays in any capacity just for pro personnel e v a l? Someone in the building has done a pretty good job on that side. Maybe McD's boy from Carolina takes over the college scouting/draft side and Whaley takes a "restructuring" of his duties to focus on the pro side?

Gruden seemed to love him. He called him the most pro-ready QB he's seen since he started QB Camp.

Interesting to me they went Milano and then Peterman. McD must have really liked Milano.

He looks a bit like John DeGeorgio.

Logan Thomas is a project but maybe they've seen something in him they like?

Enlightening. Maybe watch a few of his 399 catches and re-evaluate.
