I hope they’re upset

its a nice bit of medicine for them to swallow

Meh. There are other options, but I’m pretty sure they thought Little would be there.

I told y’all this was gonna happen

Phase one complete...

Panthers did exactly what I told you they’d do, just a different team.

Pats gonna take a Tackle

We need more Moores

I don’t have team specific info but if I had to guess we’re talking about our old friends Marty and Ron here.

I am guessing what is being discussed is trading WFT #39 and 222 for picks 51 and 74. We slide down a bit in the second but get back to back third rounders at 73 and 74. We could then pair those to move back up again or stand pat and get three guys we want.

At this point that is my best guess. There is still a lot of things that have to land just right. Plus it could be another team.

Fwiw it sounds like the plan is to trade back in the second, pick up an extra late 2nd or early third, and look at Little, Mills, a WR or DI with those three picks.

Just heard from a source that the Panthers have made some calls about acquiring an additional second round pick, or an extra early 3, depending on how the chips start falling. Rumor has it that we’d like to double dip for Stanford’s Walker Little and Davis Mills. If one or both don’t work out we’re expected to go OL and WR next.

Top 8 is pretty close to mine. I had New England trading up to 4 for Fields, DeVonta Smith going to Miami (although I agree that Pitts is more likely the pick,) and the Lions staying put and taking Sewell.

I’m pretty sure 1-3 are set in stone at this point.

If they want him that bad they can pay the price

He’s reportedly our highest rated player not named Trevor Lawrence......gonna say we value right end. 

How much legitimacy do you think there is to this?

Think critically.

Aint no hype. Rhule likes Pitts. Always has.

Liking and drafting are different things. I’m also curious about how much say Rhule will even have. It is his job to coach, not assemble the team.

Word is Rhule also liked guys like Whitehead but that didn’t work out so well.

Fitterer gonna Fitt

Can we just fast forward and have the draft tomorrow? Two more weeks is painful. I have 0 clue who we will take and who will be there. Picks 1/2 seem to be set but 3-7 is a complete toss up and one guy (Jones) has a huge impact if he’s taken.

I’m 99% sure Jones is the 9ers guy and have been since they traded up.

I’m also almost 99% sure my picks 1-5 are damned close to how it happens, the only doubt being New England taking Fields or Lance.

Well Pitts isn’t making it past Miami if he’s even there at 6 

And no, Lance isn’t rated higher than Pitts on our board.

if Pitts is there we take him, he's #1 on our board.

Y’all are buying that hype.

You shouldn't think of Pitts as just a TE--a plain one at that--because his skill set is that of a sure-handed WR with a wonderful catch radius due to his outstanding athleticism. 

He is the epitome of a matchup nightmare. And I don't believe we'll pass on him if he's there.

Ask yourself how much we used any TE last year. 
 

Now remind yourself we just signed a capable TE this offseason.

Now picture the amount of holes we still have at other positions that we actually value.

The Pitts/Panthers reports are a hell of a lot of hype/smoke.

That said. I wouldn’t be upset with that pick. I just think it is less likely that he’s there or that we’ll pick him over other positions if he is.

I almost had him going to Miami. That could still happen and we’re not even debating this.

If Pitts is there at 8, you take him. If not, then trade down. 

I really don’t think we’ll value TE that highly but I may be wrong. I think Slater or Lance would both be higher on the Panthers’ board.

1 Jags - Lawrence 

2 Jets - Wilson

3 Niners - Jones

4 Falcons - trade with Pats - Fields

5 Bengals - Chase

6 Dolphins - DeVonta Smith

7 Lions - Sewell

8 Panthers - trade down

Lance, Slater, and Pitts would all be options if we stayed put, but there is more value in trading down at this point.

Bridgewater to Denver for their 2nd this year, a 4th next year, and Nate Hairston.

Teddy to Denver for their 4th, a 2022 2nd, and Nate Hairston

If we could get Stafford talent level we'd be trading up for sure. Dude was a former #1 overall pick who has thrown for over 45k yards and nearly 300 TDs and you're implying that would be settling? LOL!

Not sure where you’re getting that I’m implying that at all.

Stafford was our first target. There are no guarantees that any of these rookies will be on his level. 
 

How many rings does Stanford have, btw?

Ok

I mean if Tepper and the organization have made it known they want a QB and have been in on a few big name QBs mentioned in TRADE talks, what makes anyone think they wont TRADE up in the draft to get a guy? They offered 8 for Stafford, they might consider moving up

The well has dried up imho. None of the rookies are guaranteed to even have the talent level of Stafford. Have we been mentioned seriously talking about anyone other than Watson? I don’t think we have.

1 minute ago, ImaginaryKev said:

You have no idea about that, this is an opinion

Maybe so but we’ll see. Still a lot of desperate teams out there wanting a QB. Don’t see that changing much anytime before the draft.

Might want to pull the stick out of your ass btw. This angry Captain Obvious shtick isn’t a good look.

Omg no to Mac Jones, aim higher

Might be him or nothing in the first round for QB then. Looking more and more like Lance and Fields might be gone by 8 and we ain’t gonna trade up for either of them.

Right now, best case scenarios are one slides, we trade for a known commodity QB during the draft, we roll with someone like Alex Smith or Mariota until the Watson situation shakes out, or another QB becomes available.

Rolling with TB at this point is worst case scenario imho. Time to move on or, at the very least, make him ride the pine until he makes some serious changes and earns it back.
