Is there anyone out there who is as confused about this draft as I am?

 

Someone brings up Fornette. So you get a bunch of reasons why we won't get him.

 

Adams, Garrett, Ross, Howard? Not going to happen for us?

 

Hence my confusion. I mean, who are we going to get if we don't get one of these guys? Since the end of the season, I have been looking forward to getting a stud at #8. Now, after reading all these mock threads, I am convinced we may not get that stud after all.

 

So...if you don't mind. Could you guys make up my mind already? Are we getting that DE? Or, is Fournette in my future? That Adams character is intriguing, but a SS at #8 just doesn't seem right. Please. For the love of all that is sacred. Put me out of my misery, and tell me who we are getting. Have a heart guys. I can't be asking all that much, can I?

Short answer is it depends on if Jacksonville goes QB or Fournette, I think if Trubisky drops to Jacksonville they will have a tougher choice, but I see him going to the 49'ers 

Adams could end up being a real stud, so yeah SS doesnt make sense, but getting a Elite level player at every level in the Defense wont hurt, Short, Luke/davis and then Adams,

Personally, I think we draft eighth in a draft with five top-tier players that are scheme transcendent and therefore fit any team:

Garrett

Thomas

Hooker

Adams

Lattimore

 

I think the next tier, for the Panthers, are talented players that fit - or could fit - what we do on offense / defense:

OJ Howard

Fournette (can he be as effective from shotgun?)

Corey Davis

Jonathan Allen

John Ross

 

So my guess is one of the top 5 if available, or one of the bottom tier if the top five are gone.  I think it's possible the Panthers would place Howard/Fournette over Adams.

Basically, we should root for QBs to go early.

Year after year with Gman, the huddle usually narrows it down to a couple guys for the first/second pick and it's never who the huddle expects it to be, like ever. It's some pick out of left field. Even more applicable to this draft as there are a lot of great options so this there will be a lot of opinions. G's BPA is always different than huddle opinions. I see S/DE as being the two main positions this draft will be focused on. RB may come in but not before the former. Just my opinion, for all we know he may take a LB or WR.

It depends on who gets picked in the first 7 and also depends on who the team has on their big board which none of us will know, which means we will keep guessing until draft day . 

Food for thought, even the mock drafts by the so called experts are usually wrong  . All it takes is one team making a screwball pick or some laremy tunsil type unpredictable incident to throw all your predictions to the wayside

last time a prospect was talked about as much as Fournette on here it was Star, this year is a strange one because because most on here think Fournette would be the DUH choice, but we dont know if he would make it to us, my mock draft thread earlier was in part an attempt to figure out if that would be possible and if not who it could be.

so basically it comes down to Jax, will they go QB or not, if not they will most certainly go Fournette.  the only other possible kink is Tennessee but that has to do with WR/TE and not Fournette. the only definite that I can figure out is that we will have a shot at a top end DL and that being either Allen or Thomas.

    • We were very banged up going into that Rams game. Our second best player (Horn), our best safety, and both starting ILBs were out. I feel like our defense has really been impressive considering a year ago. If our offense learns how to be balanced like they were against the Rams, we can honestly beat anyone. Those losses to the Saints and 49ers may have been what we needed to figure out that when we depend too much on either running exclusively or passing exclusively that we are no good. That Rams game showed what we can do when we are in sync offensively and it was so much fun to watch. If that offense shows up this week then go ahead and cancel your plans the second weekend in January as you will have a game to watch.
    • and we won a game in the playoffs.....where our leading receiver was Fozzy Whitaker w/ just 39 rec yards.  That feels like a 2025 Panthers type winning setup. 
    • Yep, the board has amnesia to the weekly swings and declarations made.  The same cast of characters has been talked about vastly different repetitively and you only have to go back as far as the game before the last one....and just keep repeating that pattern largely backwards.  I personally feel confident that this team is not bad and it is not good.  And while that is nice to get back to be out of the literal dumpster......I don't view this team as an average team w/ a puncher's chance.  All average teams are of different molds.  We are more the, if a really good team plays bad, you will lose to us variety.  We aren't bad enough where you can get away with a bad day vs us anymore.
