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.

    • 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.
    • Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly. 
    • Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
