Staying put vs trading up

I know a lot of people feel like we gave up too much to move up in the second so I decided to look at what was drafted after our original spot in the 2nd, pick 57.

Wide Receiver:

Tyler Lockett 3(69)

Jaelen Strong 3(70)

Chris Conley 3(76)

Sammie Coates 3(87)

OT

Robert Havenstein 2(57)

Ty Sambrailo 2(59)

Jamon Brown 3(72)

Chaz Green 3(91)

I'm not usually a huge fan of moving up, especially an expensive move like yesterday. I thought we might move up in the later rounds with our extra picks but giving up a 3rd surprised me.

After seeing how the board was falling and what was left the decision is more understandable.

Some years the board falls in your favor and in others it does not.

I love it that we moved up. I was so sick of just doing the boring and conservative thing and just "staying put" people have to understand that we have a pretty stacked roster already and honestly we just don't have a lot of needs. In other words we are a team that has enough of talent already we can afford to lose a couple picks to move up. We aren't a team like the talent starved Browns or Jags that need every single draft pick we can get.

I'm glad Gettleman showed he had a pulse and made a splash. I just could not stomach another defensive player, oh and guess what, even AFTER that trade we still had 7 picks in this draft. Darin Gannt, he's about the most cynical and negative person on the Panthers as you can get and even he liked the trade and the player we got.

We were never going to be able to absorb nine rookies onto this roster. Unless you are rebuilding from scratch you use your picks to do what DG just did.

I still don't buy that. It's not like we have world beaters at every position.

I think we have too many needs to trade up again. Addressing OT and RB is a must, and I would love to see a SS, CB, DT, WR or DE. I know we can't fix all these spots in 1 draft but I think we just have too many needs to have less than 7 overall picks.

I'm loving our picks, now for at least one OT

 

yea in Gettleman i trust, but i am hoping the BPA gods throw us a bone here and let us draft a serviceable OT project today.

only Gettleman doesnt draft according to need... especially not the perceived needs we fans think our team has

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
