And teams have been wrong a lot. Russell Wilson went in the 3rd round. Aaron Rodgers was drafted 24th when he almost went number 1, the examples keep going. Pre draft grades are important but don't determine the final product.

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/ranking-every-teams-2022-nfl-draft-class-panthers-cardinals-eagles-crush-it-bucs-bills-raise-questions/amp/ Interesting read. Another positive review of Panthers' draft class.

I'm glad they made the attempt to go up to the 2nd, but I'm sure what they were giving up was ugly. So ultimately, the choice to reconsider, be patient, and give up less for who could have been the targeted QB all along, worked out in the immediate and long term interest of the team. Great job by them.

Lots of good players still available.

We traded 2 5ths for a 4th and a 6th

So smart. Corral was the best QB in this draft. I'm stunned he fell this far. I'm guessing size, injury, or character contributed. No matter what, this kid can sling it. I'm so fuging thrilled

Corral may end up being the best QB in this class as long as he isn't Ryan Leaf character wise.

Well I would have traded up for Nakobe Dean. So surprised he fell to round 3

Lol at all of the people vying for him at 6. He will be lucky to have an Antwaan Randle El (provided he would switch positions) or a Seneca Wallace type of career

Mayock should have had sense enough to stay in the booth then if he knew that was going to be the power dynamic. The only thing he had shown to be capable of is scouting. Taking Clelin Ferrell over Josh Allen, Devin White, or Rashan Gary? EVERYONE knew Ferrell wasn't worth 1st rounder, much less a top 5 pick. Embarrassing.

Yeah so much for the "draft guru" title for Mayock.

So they spent what amounts to 3 first round picks and a 2nd round pick for the 5th ranked receiver and 4th ranked tackle in a thin class. Cool.

fug Willis. He is no better than Tyrod Taylor

You shouldn't be shocked about Willis. Media hype is a helluva thing. Johnson has questions about whether he is a designated pass rusher or a starter.

Easily Luke Kuechly. I have never been more excited about a player selection

Where are they drafting him? That matters. At 6 I will rage. In the 2nd? Ehh.

Not saying this is what I would do, but this is my prediction. Trade down into 11-15 area. Draft Trevor Penning.

Panthers have zero chance of moving up. No team will want to move down until the Panthers anyway.

If rumors are true, the draft starts with pick 6. 1. Jaguars - Travon Walker 2. Lions - Kayvon Thibodeaux 3. Texans - Derek Stingley 4. Jets - Icky Ekwonu 5. Giants - Aidan Hutchinson 6. Panthers Best Available: Sauce Gardner Evan Neal Garrett Wilson Charles Cross Kyle Hamilton Drake London Someone is going to want to jump up to our spot for Sauce Gardner (ahead of Giants, Seahawks, or Jets) or Garrett Wilson/Drake London (Giants, Jets, Redskins, Falcons, Vikings). The Panthers should have people calling to move up. Especially from Jets, Texans, Seahawks, and Eagles (They have multiple firsts and more flexibility to trade away picks). I see a trade down. It will be too tempting for Fitterer to reject.

Trade back with Green Bay or Kansas City. Pick up the 2 1sts this year and a 1st next year. BPA all the way through. We aren't contending for the Super Bowl this year, we know that, so just continue to build the roster the right way and acquire more assets.

He had Justin Herbert ranked as his 8TH QB in the 2020 NFL draft. Tua was number 1. So, I don't trust his judgement at all.

Still have my fingers crossed for Minshew

At this point, we could probably get Mayfield for peanuts. And the Browns will have to eat some of his pay. He still has some upside, I'd go with him. Garoppolo has better character, but he is topped out as a pro. He is a career backup that can win in a pinch, but he isn't a franchise guy. Couple that with him coming off a serious injury and I don't think that the risk is worth it.

Honestly, I wouldn't be stunned with us taking Walker, Thibodeaux, or Garrett Wilson (we really liked Jaylen Waddle last year)

The Saints need a QB, a WR, and a LT. If they think they can get 2 of those in the first round without moving up, I think they want both picks in this draft. They believe they arent going to be in position for a QB in next year's draft and their guy is going to slide to them. At worst they will have to maybe jump up a few spots with one of the 1st rounders, but I think they actually do want more picks this year and aren't looking for one top tier guy.
