Panthers will pick 8th


stirs

Recommended Posts

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.

    • Every team does it's homework. More so than any fan.  Brooks, had he not been injured, would have been a first round talent.  I have zero problems with the team (Dan Morgan and company) drafting Brooks in the 2nd.  He is a fantastic talent.  As far as risk, this is the NFL.  Any and every player is exposed to the same brutality that the NFL is.  Despite Brooks latest setback, it doesn't cost the team much.  Our running back room is stacked.  Could they have drafted someone else? Sure. No promise that someone else would have made an impact last year.  Or this year.   When it's your job to do what Dan does, I pray you get it all right. Lord knows that there isn't a single GM that gets it all right.   
    • Dang, we might not be able to create the same magic from last year!
    • If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.
