Howard to Panthers at #8

Yeah that makes sense. We're probably going offense in the 1st, and we need a guy who can replace Greg when his time comes. Wouldn't be shocked if it's Howard.

I don't think they'd be drafting Howard to replace Olsen. Olsen has a lot of years left in the tank. Howard allows us to run a 2 TE set as our base offense, which means he could contribute as both a blocker and a pass-catcher.

Yeah we're going to use him right away, but eventually he would replace Olsen.

He has the ability to potentially fill several needs at once and long term. I think gentleman sees the value in that type of player and would take that into consideration. This draft is fairly weak at Oline, so he may be as much help as any guy we could get in the draft to help in that regard.

Exactly. Our biggest needs are WR and OT, but since there aren't any players in those positions worth taking at #8, Howard is someone who could help out both roles.

    • Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack
    • Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.
    • Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
