The irony is that Carolina has 8 (that's right, 8) 1st round draft picks upcoming. The problem for Carolina is that it can't possibly sign all 8 draft picks due to lack of salary cap space. Of course, one or more GMs will likely bail Carolina out and trade even more/better future picks for current ones, rather than wait and compete with owners for players who will otherwise inevitably have be cut (or have their contracts rejected before signing).

I know. I was intentionally being provocative. Although, y'all that draft ahead of me you can just ignore those two. Thanks!

I have sights on multiple Carolina picks. I have 100m in cap space. (Not a lie.)

See, you're one of those GMs I'm describing. ;-)

I have like 50 open spots on my roster too, and I trust my draft board more than going after castoffs. :)

To me, one of the most satisfying things in this game is grabbing a castoff in the draft and having him end up being a good contributer. On the other hand, one of the biggest let downs is having your 1st round pick bombing on ya. If nothing else, both of these keep us all on our toes.

Well unless a salivating deal comes along, I definitely plan on taking one or both of those 2 with my 1.1 and 1.2/1.3... ;)
