Panthers will pick 8th

I think the Panthers win tomorrow.  I also previously attached a scenario which the Panthers win the last two and still pick 11-involved are everything from likely scenarios such as Buffalo winning out as they're favored to do, to the Bears beating the Redskins which increases the Bucs SOS over us just enough if we both finish 8-8.

I truthfully believe the best of all scenarios is winning tomorrow and losing the last game-the Falcons miss the playoffs, and we still get our top 10, maybe even top 8, pick.  Philly over a Cowboys team that's clinched and San Diego over the Browns then Chiefs in the last game ever in San Diego are very possible.

Bradberry and Worley are playing well and improving. But, if we are picking in the mid 11-18 a cornerback could possibly be the pick. We still need a nickel badly. 

Cam Robinson is questionable both on and off the field but he's another option. 

Barnett, Cook, Ramczyk, Ross and Davis are the other options depending on their stock now till combine.

Barnett is so insanely above those others from a position premium and talent/value perspective it's not even funny.

Ramczyk is at least mildly intriguing based on the obvious need at OT and Wisconsin's ability to produce them.  But he's likely going to have hip surgery and miss the combine.  That, combined with limited reps against top competition and the need to add more strength, and he hardly sounds like a 1st rounder to me, as much as even I'd like to warm up to the idea.

Ramczyk has not declared yet and will have surgery right after their bowl game or the combine, if he declares, which will keep him sidelined for a minimum of 4 months.

Think he will be a second rounder

That's why I said Corner could be the pick. Teez, Sidney, Quincy, Lattimore, Humphrey, King, etc. are all very intriguing prospects.

We are back up to 9th at the moment and pulling hard for Cincy, who, with a win, will put us at 8th

Then there is one week to go

Cincy should win against a scrub no name backup QB.  The Chargers should win in the last game ever in San Diego after the embarrassment today.  #7.  Fingers crossed.

Any word on whether Mike McGlinchey has decided if he's going to return to Notre Dame? I know Charlie Campbell from Walterfootball.com said in his recent mock that his sources at N.D. expect McGlinchey to go pro. If he does, he'd be a great pick for us, IMO. He's got legitimate franchise left tackle potential.

My only concern is that, if he does declare, he could shoot up draft boards and be gone before we pick.

Everything I saw in Oct and November said he was coming back to school.  Maybe insiders know better.

Is he a bit smallish?

The fact that he's even so wishy washy about coming out after so many years in the program, struggled so much after switching from RT, and struggled so much with penalties as he is supposedly a high strung personality, are all major red flags as a first rounder.  Zero chance he's our top 10 pick.  Maybe if we trade back multiple times and/or use our 2nd round pick.  But if THAT'S GMan's answer to our OT problem then everyone better show up at BOA demanding Berry AND JPP.  I'd honestly feel MUCH better with Remmers out of the gate until he'd be ready, a scenario that I hate since we must come out guns blazing next year.

Seemed like the Bengals and Chargers were playing for their pick with 3 missed FGs to win or tie/win. I'd like to say we were as well, but I think we just played like crap.

Irks me even more since Barnett is so often mocked to the Bengals.

Truthfully, a great case can be made, right now, that we will pick 9 regardless of whether we win or lose next week when you look at the slate of games.

      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.
