O ne of BBR’s advantages is the freedom to try things traditional outlets would need multiple meetings just to decide when they would have another round of meetings.We’re going to throw lots of stuff at the wall. Some of it will stick, some of it won’t.Case in point — the NCAA Tournament-style bracket we’re unveiling this morning. Or more specifically — the one we wanted to unveil this morning.
We’ll spare you the details of why it won’t play as nicely as we wanted on the site. Long story, short — if you want to check out our Panthers First Round Options Bracket, you have to go to this link, sign up and fill it out there: challonge.com/panthersdraftbracket.Essentially, we set up a bracket with 32 players who could be around, and who the Panthers could be interested in, if they stay at No. 28 Thursday night. So there’s no Clowney or quarterbacks, but there’s regions full of receivers, offensive lineman, defensive backs and others.If we can make the bracket embeddable with the ability to fill out predictions on our site, we’ll do so, but for now, the link above could be fun to mess around with for a few minutes.
