Way to find something to complain about during what’s looking like a successful draft. Cheers

That's why it came to me. A good draft is not expected from people who do dumb poo like last year. Glad you could set me straight, scrow.

I know. Just grinds my gears. 

Seems like nfl GMs should quit trying to "outthink" everyone. Right now looks like an absolute lost pick. Could have a rookie starting center or middle linebacker instead of a dude with a bum fuging leg collecting a check.....and doing fuging nothing 

Any Middle LBers left?

6'3" 280 sounds like a super awkward size.

But odds say you will swap a future starter for nothing more than an average backup. In playing the what if game I favor playing the odds. If my war chest was full I may challenge conventional wisdom now and then. Where they are in their rebuild they cannot afford to waste future assets on 1 player.

Good point to a......point. I could trade back and monopolize every 6th round pick in the draft to get more shots at the target. I understand that's an absurd extreme, the take home is there is a marginal analysis that has to be done every year for where that MB=MC. It's a moving target both for the population (talent and how that talent fits with respective teams' systems). 

Double post.

I'm not sure what happened there (CRA checks the modern day politician's playbook).  Oh, my account must of been hacked.  Hacked I tell you! 

None the less, my overall average of predicting what the Panthers will do.....remains unfazed.  I'm wrong 90% of the time about what this front office will do in a draft.  I nailed XL last year so I am due for a drought of about a decade lol. 

 

Take note folks, this is how you respond. Humor. Well said and I have done at least worse if not far worse on predictions.

yeah, this draft is going to suck.  Morgan and his folks are going to overprioritize defense.  Reach for their dudes early.  

I wouldn't be shocked if there first 5 rounds are 4 defensive players and a running back that doesn't actually make sense (hate their top 30 fixation there and who they looked at)  or some poo like that. 

Going into this draft, it's almost like we forgot we got the 30th ranked passing game in the NFL.   And our featured player, contemplated retirement, wasn't healthy and is going to be worse. 

Lol

Definitely Higgins for sure. I always looked at him as basically the poor man's T-Mac in this draft.

At WR, he was the guy i wanted since I assumed we'd go DE/OLB in the first.

so use another pick on a wr this draft?

 

Hey dude, 

We actually do need another slot guy, since Theilen is gone after this year.

Newsflash: There is no fixing this team this year. Yall running around acting like we can shore up the defense and be a fringe playoff team. Lol.....at you.

Link to the full mock

Panthers' selections:

• 1.8 - Jalon Walker, LB/EDGE, Georgia
• 2.57 - TJ Sanders, DT, South Carolina
• 3.74 - Jack Bech, WR, TCU
• 4.111 - Billy Bowman Jr, S, Oklahoma
• 4.114 - Dorian Strong, CB, Virginia Tech
• 5.140 - Demetrius Knight Jr, LB, South Carolina
• 5.146 - Caleb Rogers, G, Texas Tech
• 5.163 - Jarquez Hunter, RB, Auburn
• 7.230 - Maxen Hook, S, Toledo

Don't love the first three, but the back half is strong, imo. 

If we get Jarquez with that pick, it will be an absolute steal. 

It's Walker, if he's there at 8. He's heating up and I wouldn't be shocked to see him gone by that point.

Fun to see the crazy range of wants in this thread - makes for such a Wild West offseason of opinions

Agree. Its a combo of needs (what position can we say, "nah we good") and then after the first 5 guys, a big clump of talent---preceived by scouting services.

Assuming this is the way the draft goes and we can't trade down, who do we take at this point? 

You go Warren or McMillian or the Marshall DE. I think it's too early for Emmanwori, but he's a freakish numbers guy and we need safety help. 

Great poo.

This is the wild posts I come here for. Now who the hell you think you are, the green bay GM?!?!?

You are A)asking a completely moronic question and B)you were already discussing this in another thread

 

Simply googling his name and reading about him would give you a legit answer

If you don't like it, fug off . Acting like you're personally harmed from a thread. Go cry elsewhere. 

I'll take my chances with the guy from BC. Smart kid with freak measurables AND work ethic?

Either Johnson (cb) or walker (olb/de). The need and the draft value is right for both. A pass catcher should be considered as well. If we hit big on a WR/TR, then the corp is set for four years. The old PFF guys have showed how important pass catching is in the modern NFL. Sets everything else up. 

If Higgins is there at 57, you have to take a shot. Perfect DK Metcalf type prospect.
