I think Gman values 3 positions higher than any other

QB, DT, and DE, these positions will get favor over all the rest if there is anything close to a tie.  We have QB covered, DT covered temporarily, so DE is the closest thing to a need in our core positions of importance.

If one of the 3 DE's (Lawson, Dodd, Ogbah) are there, they should be the pick.  As far as DT's, Butler or Rankins, would be my pick since we don't have either of our guys locked up for very long.

Outside of the core positions if none are available, I would only want William Jackson III as a first rounder as a CB and maybe a WR from the top 4 WR's.

No OT, G, C TE, S or LB is gonna be worth the pick at 30.  I mean if LB Lee drops, who knows, but I am speaking of the guys who will be available.

So, in order

3 DE's

Butler/Rankins

William Jackson III

One of the 4 WR's

One of those 10 players should be our pick at 30.  

Now, you can still watch the draft even though I have taken out most of the drama :)

Order of importance.

 

DE- because hey we need more pass rushing.

RB- no way Stewart stays healthy all year again and he missed most of the Super Bowl when we needed him due to being hurt.

CB- Where is Josh Norman at?

That would be true for most teams, but I think the Panthers spend money and picks on the Dline knowing that if that part is running on all cylinders, the secondary can be just that, and, if the Oline does its job, many, many RB's can excel.  Just my thoughts

Obviously it is a lot of fun to pretend to be GMan this time of year, but none of us truly know what he is gonna do.  All I am doing is going back to the Giants years for Gman and the ones for the Panthers, coupled with our present situation and just trying to read his tendencies.  Not scientific at all, just for fun 

Also hoping about 4-5 QB's go before us, ensuring we get a gem

55 different players could be first round picks.

First 14 will be(in no order)

Geoff

Wentz

Tunsil

Stanley

Elliot 

Lloyd- rumors of him going 5th overall

Bosa

Rankings

Lynch- top ten due to him being a QB.

Jack

Conklin- rumors of him going in top ten.

Buckner

Ramsey

Hargraves

I believe this as a group, are the best GMs in the history of the NFL. Fewer talented players will fall/slip down the boards.

Second round will be the most exciting.

Four tiers in talent.

1-4

5-14

15-20

21-55

Keanu Neal will be the panthers pick, if he's available ........

Yeah we all have opinions and I am definitely not saying I am right. We shall see more than likely you will end up being right.

I mostly agree with the OP. I just don't think DT should be a high round priority.  Gettleman says our first round player should have an impact, we have two young DTs that aren't getting benched for a long time.  If DT were the pick it would mean Gettleman doesn't believe he's gonna be able to resign Short.  To me it's Dodd, Ogbah, Jackson3, H.Henry, Joseph, or a top 3 or 4 WR.

If all the DE's were gone and there was Butler, Henry, and Joseph left at 30, I just feel like the best value would be Butler and he would be part of our core priority group and would get the nod.  Obviously I could be wrong.  Look back at the Giants when they had all the great DLine and the draft came to them and they pick JPP anyway even though they were thoroughly stacked.  They just place a higher value on DLine

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
