Panthers 1st round big board.

Recommended Posts

Here's my big board. Would love to see other variations if anyone else has one. 

I'm considering these players as good as gone. 

  • 4 QB'S
  • 3 DE'S, Chubb,Davenport,Landry
  • 2 Safties Fitzpatrick, James
  • 2 LB'S, Smith, Edmunds
  • 1 DT, Vea
  • 1 RB, Barkley
  • 1 Guard, Nelson
  • 1 Corner, Ward

Thats 15 down, so heres my top 9 in order of preference  I think will be in consideration at 24, with at least 1 being available. 

  1. Ridley (WR) 
  2. Alexander (CB)
  3. Jackson (CB)
  4. D.J Moore (WR)
  5. Wynn (G/T)
  6. Harrison (S)
  7. Ragnow (G/C)
  8. Hernandez (G)
  9. Daniels (G/C)

Of those 9 we've had a confirmed private visit with each of them outside of Jackson, Wynn and Hernandez. Also noticed we did not have a single visit with any of the 15 listed in the as good as gone list.

    So, according to your board, we should be getting ourselves a really good player at #24. And there was great rejoicing.

 

    Part of me wants one of those top WRs, but man, rookie WRs have a bad habit of taking time to develop. But in this draft, if you want a good one, you have to take him early.

 

    Part of me wants one of those top DBs. But man, you can get quality in the 2nd, and even the 3rd. But yeah, getting one of the top DBs would go a long way to improve our back end.

 

    Part of me wants Hurst. The cat has that look about him.

 

    And there is a part of me. Way down inside. That wants a DE to pair with Hall, and Obada. Not sure where he will come from. But a dude can hope.

I'm trying so hard not to entertain the idea of drafting Ridley at 24.  This thread is not helping.  You just have to imagine the price it would cost to sign a WR like him in FA he will be long gone in the top 15, but people seem to believe there's a chance.

That's because other teams outside of the Cowboys  have bigger needs than WR. The Ravens could stand one, but they also need a right tackle badly, and it's arguably a bigger need than WR.

All that being said, I think the Cowboys may pick Courtland Sutton. The Ravens, Mike McGlinchey.

You never know though.

D.J. Moore may turn out to be the better receiver. Christian "Baby OBJ" Kirk may have something to say as well.

Yep, that is slept on. O-line is terrible, even 2015 the pass blocking was ahead of run blocking, but this is supposed to be a run first team. LOL

Hernandez or Wynn would be excellent, especially if Panthers could trade down later in 1st and still get them.

Wynn is more consistent and  better technically, but weaker with a lesser mean streak than Hernandez. What intrigue me about Wynn is if he could possibly slide over and play LT at a high level consistently. Could he grow into  a  LT  like Kelvin Beachum  who he compares to in size? Maybe or maybe not, but I know he will be an All-pro LG for at least 10 years.

Also, some expect Taylor Moton to train at LG then transition to LT after Kalil is gone. Depends on what the Panthers feel is the right decision.

1 DJ Moore  WR

2 Ridley  WR

3 Hughes CB

4 Kolton Miller, OT

5  Mike McGlinchey, OT

6 Alexander CB

7 Justin Reid, S

8 Hayden Hurst^, TE, South Carolina

9 James Daniels, C

10 Christian Kirk, WR, Texas A&M

The motivation this year is much different than others, here is my top 10 board at #24 but I'm not drafting for my job and a new owner. Hurney needs to have an impact player in the first Rd and the OT are not impact players for this year. That is why the WR or CB are most likely the pick.

    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical. 
    • Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded. 
    • Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
