Craziest Draft Ever

Based on some of the articles I have read over the past couple of days. I have a very strong feeling that a team is going to trade up into the top 5 and pick a QB.   This is going to start a domino effect on the other QBs.

Don't be shocked if Trubisky and Watson are gone before we pick.   This will benefit us greatly as we will have more to choose from.

Thoughts?

Had this discussion with my co-workers who are football guys as well.  This could be one of most unpredictable drafts I can recall.  Usually by this time theirs the clear #1 overall pick starting negotiating contract with the team picking first.  I think Garrett is the first pick but with all he rumors of top teams picking all wanting out of then top 10 or others trying to trade into the top 10. I've recently come to peace with I can't expect any certain scenario this year because no way of knowing what happens with the first seven picks.

It has been a head scratcher for sure. In some ways even more difficult than predicting the 30th pick as weird as that is. 

That's a very good way to put it. Normally the top ten is not to bad to predict and the last ten are pretty difficult. This time, they are all difficult.

I have said it for a while  that atleast 2 QBs will be gone in top 10 , this will push talent down for Panthers to move backup again after picking at 8.

Some form of RB/TR or RB/RB combo 

Panthers like quality > quantity 

I agree with you that QBs will go in the top 10. Not sure many because of trade rooms. However, what usually happens and happened last year. "This is the worst crop of QBs in years" some analysis says and last year I agreed.  What usually happens, team does play off that they will pass on a QB or "oh they aren't that good" amen QBs go way earlier than most expect.  

Prediction: atleast 2 QBs go in top 10.

If there is an early run on QBs, might it be worth it to trade down with a qb needing team like Cleveland or Buffalo and still get a player we want?

The only thing about dropping down is expecting that player to be there 4 picks later only to have another team jump up and take him. 

I hope we sit pat with our selections and take 4 of the top 100 and be happy.   I am betting we will be excited with our picks.

Christmas in April....

      The Cavalry is Coming

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction

      Better than a fragile starter, though
