Eric Edholm of NFL.com, one of the most respected minds in the business, said last week he would be all for the Panthers using six or seven of their nine draft picks on the defensive side of the ball.

1. A reason why some are down on this draft class overall is that only four-to-six players fit the mold of a consensus "blue chip" prospect.

1. If you were Titans GM Mike Borgonzi, would you stay put and take Miami QB Cam Ward, or would you trade down with either the Browns at 2 or with the Giants at 3, which would net you additional premium draft picks both this year and next year and assure you either Travis Hunter or Abdul Carter? 2.

Do you think Omarion Hampton is a special talent worthy of a top-20 selection? 3. If you were the GM of a team that needed ANY kind of RB, and you were forced to choose between Treveyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins, who would be your pick and why? 4. Do you believe Kaleb Johnson...

1. Is the way the Commanders utilize Frankie Luvu the best way to get the most out of Jalon Walker? 2. Can Jihaad Campbell be a Micah Parsons-type weapon* for an NFL defense, and do you think he's worth a top-15 pick or higher? 3.
