A bit of Panthers relevance to this weekend's games.

Need a little incentive to watch this weekend's games? Still feeling scorned by Dollar Dave?

 

Keep this in mind as a potential point of interest:

Watch very closely to see who ends up with the 25th overall pick in the draft.

After looking at the draft value trade chart, our 2nd round pick and our first 3rd round pick yield enough points to move into that selection, and with how the draft looks this year, I feel its very possible we explore it.

 

Will a team bite on a 2nd and 3rd for their 1st? I wouldn't think so. But the chart gets a lot praise each year, so its worth mentioning if youre still bitter like me.

If by some miracle the Patriots lose they're always game to move back.  In the more likely scenario of the Texans, I would think that would be an attractive deal to them if we felt the need to move in front of the Seahawks for Ramczyk or Falcons for Charlton.

Remember however, the trade value chart is not set in stone, and can fluctuate good and bad due to team needs, need to accumulate additional picks, and other factors (teams at the top of the 2nd still needing a QB?), and 1st round picks given the 5th year option, etc.

Seattle being bumped down an extra spot is nice too.

 

Houston is an interesting team here. Their biggest need is absolutely QB and you can't often expect to find a QB at 25, (though that could change in an odd class) They could use some help on the OL as well.

This is definitely possible I think. You're not giving up much and to move up and select a better player with the 5th year option attached is only good, and there's always some moronic team willing to give it up because theyve overthought the whole process.

    • Yeah but at least that QB would be not short.  I keep going back to the fact other than Wilson no other short QB has ever won a Super Bowl. The success rate of short QBs is very, very low. Like count on one hand low.  Yeah some people would include Brees too but I don’t consider a 6 foot tall QB short, imo. 
    • I just rewatched all the highlights from after Bryce being benched. The Bryce hate needs to calm down a little bit. He showed a ton of potential the back half of the year. Same with Legette. They both made great plays when it mattered and a few mistakes when it counted. If we didn’t have a historically awful defense last year we could have ended even a bit better. Going into a brand new season we should be optimistic at least before game one. 2015 no one expected to go anywhere and the team steam rolled the league. I’m not saying that will happen, but hopefully we made strides to improve on the end of last year. Bryce put both Super Bowl teams in a battle last year and if we had a better D we could have taken them both. So at least look forward to the season and not past the season until it at least begins. 
    • I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
