We are too young to add 3 draft picks

We will not be picking rookies up at all three draft picks. This team is already very VERY young. Adding 3 rookies, no matter how good, is silly. We might keep #9 (Gordon, Staus, McDerp) and package the #24 pick/Henderson/Biz to get a proven Veteran.

 

Afflalo is the guy everyone is banking on. We will have to see, but I would hope we get a vet backup PG, SF and C out of free agency/trades.

I agree that we will not have 3 draft picks on the team.

 

Options:

1. Package #24 & 2nd round to move up as much as we can to get "our guy"

* Most we could go up on that package is probably #6

(Odds aren't good because there might not be a lot that separates #9 and #6.)

 

2. Pick a big at #9 and package #24 and Player for Affalo or a player like him.

* Picking big means Gordon

 

3. Stay put at #9 & #24 and Eurostash the 2nd round pick

* What I want. Give me Staus at #9. #24 give me Napier or Payne if either fall.

 

4. Who the hell knows but it's fun to guess!

There's no way anyone is trading us a top 10 to take #24 and a second rounder.

We're taking a scorer at #9. Gordon will be off the board already. The Bobcatsian pick would be McBuckets, but his defense scares the hell out of me and he's going to be way too slow to rebound at an average rate for his height.

Keep an eye out for Rodney Hood, Stauskas, Dougie, even Gary Harris (solid defender, but a reach at that pick).

I'd like to see us trade out of #9 and pick an x-factor type at #24.

I would take Harris over those guys with Stauskas right behind him. I don't think Harris is a reach at all. I see him being similar to Oladipo.

That 45th pick could be valuable. Clifford is on record saying that he won't go into a season without three point guards on the roster.

 

A guy like Jordan Clarkson or Jahii Carson could be there and instead of having to re-sign Pargo we can just pay one of these guys 450,000 a year to be the third string point guard. In comparison, Pargo is making nearly $1.5 mil. So in actuality we could save about $1 mil in cap space doing this.

The only reason I'm hesitant to trade #9 to Orlando is because they could potentially be a juggernaut of a team down the road.

 

PG: Dante Exum (Draft 4th Overall)

SG: Victor Oladipo

SF: James Young (Draft 12th Overall)

PF: Aaron Gordon (Draft 9th Overall)

C: Nikola Vucevic

 

That is a great starting line-up for the future, I don't think I want to help them out like that.

Keep the number 9 pick, we were lucky to get it. For a team thats on the way up we might not get a shot at the top talent for a while. I still want us to draft one more guy that could develop into a allstar player down the road.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
