Seem to have got to our game. Keep it going!

Couple hits tonight

I am too. You have to consider how a player would make others around him better. A S, for example, could make the back 4-5 secondary players better. An Inside LB makes the front 7 better. A WR would make Bryce and TMac better. (I like Caden Curry too, as well as Crownover) I have mocked your first two picks more than once. I like OTs converted to C like Parker from Duke because they could play OT in a pinch. However, the C wealth in this draft is sick.

I am aware. We are 1 injury away from Kenny Pickett too--does that mean we should draft Simpson? So you are saying that the Panthers should draft an OT and that is the only course of action a responsible GM would take? You are not wrong, CSX, but to me, timing, other needs, the Ickey situation, etc. make it more complicated than you are making it.

I'm warming up the the idea of a WR in the first round. It's a toss up there between WR and DT. I'm trade back all day if possible. I like Shelton or Crownover even if we need to go a round early. 2nd round is a prime spot for a LB if it is Hill, Rodriguez, or Golday. CB is a sneaky need. There are a bunch of nickel guys, but I'd rather hit on a tall boundary corner. My perfect draft hit on sticktothemodel:

Ignoring the Smitty chatter, I do like Skyler Bell for us. It’s a really interesting WR crop. Lots of variety this year.

Not going to play is a huge dose of wishful thinking. He could start every game due to injury. We are one injury away from Stone Cold Forsythe being a starter and one season away from needing a true starter if not two. Why draft Aaron Rodgers? Why draft Mahhomes? Because you have to think and see beyond the end of your nose

At 330 he is in everyone's vicinity

There's a great guard in our vicinity Vega Ioane.

Hornets have clinched a winning record

I’ve already given up getting the 5th or 6th seed

No you didn’t. But whatever.

Somehow the East is so much improved as of late. They are beating GOOD West teams.

Sad thing is everyone else is winning atm tonight

18 wins by 20+ points this season

Tough 4 games to close out. Did what we was supposed to do against Indy. The fellas need to close out this season strong

You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1. I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter. So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate. QBs are a great example. Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith. Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there? Wharton (280lbs)? So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover? A deep free safety? A quality center? A playmaking TE? A DT to replace Robinson? A wide receiver to balance the secondary? Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right. Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.

Put Huey P Newton on the helmet. With his AK.

We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea

I'm a 4-3 guy. I just dont see this team switching to a 4-3. Refuse to lie to myself.

Only Panthers fans think you have to draft a WR in the first or it's a bust guaranteed. Zero expectations for our talent evaluators to actually find gems later in the draft. What do these people actually do here? What do we pay them for?

Who would Dave and Dan leave in Charge of Practice and the Browns Coach doesn't even know the team lol

Yeah he tries to be too descriptive and makes a mess of it and gets behind.

Sion James is the leading scorer at halftime with 13 points.
