Lets just say that we didnt trade up in this senario. In a somewhat surprising move, the Ravens pick up Courtland Sutton instead of Ridley . Most of the picks in front of us are crazy trade ups for  QBs, Darnold, Rosen , Allen, Mayfield , Jackson , and Rudolph all go before us , and other teams picking up the prime defensive talent pushes alot of top offensive prospects down to us. 

So imagine we are sitting at 24 with say almost all the WRS ( Ridley, Moore, Kirk ) , all the RBs not named Barkley , and no TEs have been drafted.  Would you be okay with drafting one of those 3 , a RB, or a TE?  

I think Id be perfect. Use our first pick for offense and go defense for most of the rest of the draft . For example , players available in the most recent sim I did : 

Offense : 

  • DJ Moore , Calvin Ridley, Christian Kirk, 
  • Darrius Guice, Ronald Jones, Sony Michel
  • Gesicki, Andrews, Goedert, Hurst
  • Connor William, Billy Price, Will Hernandez

Defense: 

  • Marcus Davenport, Josh Sweat , Sam Hubbard
  • Josh Jackson , Carlton Davis, Mike Huges
  • Ronnie Harrison, Jessie Bates , Marcus Allen

I think in a situation like this, the offensive talent is tipping the scales massively. I dont see any defensive players worthy of R1 besides maybe Davenport, and I'm leery of the DEs in this draft not named Bradley Chubb. I'd select Ridley here. 

In this senario I would take Ridley. What would you do? Would you feel comfortable with offense pick in general? Or would you reach for defense b/c our secondary is so bad? Im thinking we could also massively gut some team trying to trade up for Ridley or Moore in this senario.

as long as Rivera is our coach, our best chance at winning it all is to have a stellar year on defense.  I trust Cam and Norv can keep the offense afloat this season.  I would love to see us put together a secondary to compliment the front seven for once.  I would take the best DB available.

Yeah I'm saying Moore all the way, just looks like the kind of receiver we are missing...have CMC and it's not like Cap has been given enough reps to know what we have in him...can take a rb I just wouldn't do it before round 3..tight end..if the receivers/secondary we like are gone I'd be ok with it...it's not like we haven't lost games because Dickson had a tendency (obviously couple exceptions) to not catch wide open touchdowns/first downs

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
