With the 24th pick in the 2018 NFL Nation Mock Draft.....

[panther542]

I like the pick.

Yes its early for a Tight End especially with Ridley is still on the board.

Carolina could get back to the offensive that it had it 2011 when had over 4,000 passing yards.

Hurst can Block & Catch.

Pass will help set up the Run game.

Building like the New England Patriots had with Gronk & Hernandez.

Will Hurst really ever be better than a guy like Ed Dickson? I just don't ever see him being a big time play maker and taking him just to have leverage in  the Greg Olsen negotiations like Newton suggest is just stupid. 

I would hate this pick especially when Hurney talked a lot today about getting a good who makes a big immediate impact with his the first round pick. Can't pass on a guy like Ridley who would be a day one starter

Cmon guys we need help on the outside. Let’s not be like the Eagles and never give our franchise qb legit wr weapons, especially if one is staring at us in the face

Yeah its a joke.  No way it will happen though, so no need to worry.  David Newton is just incompetent

Te in the first would be the same mistake as rb in the top 10 last year, Cb or WR

Anyone know what the 2 lowest paid positions in the league are?

 

Rb and TE. Let’s spend back to back firsts on the least valuable positions in the league. 

I agree somewhat with this argument for TE's, but I completely disagree with this argument for RB's

RB's are one of the lowest paid positions because most of them can't stay healthy and productive enough to get that big contract after their rookie one expires. It's not that they aren't valuable, they are just easily expendable and unreliable overtime.

Also draft related: I've seen this guy's name mentioned here, though I don't think as a first rounder.

Agreed.  The point is valid but it doesn't really hold water.  Just because it's a cheap position doesn't mean you shouldn't select it (i.e. teams would sell their right nut to draft a Leveon, Elliot, Gronk, Olsen, etc.).  And I absolutely despise Hurst with this pick, but luckily it won't happen

More draft stuff, a group of video bits from WBTV's Ashley Stroehlein.

Side Note: I never realized Kroeger played on "Two and a Half Men"

Yep and let's spend them on the most paid positions since we have so much cap. I like your thinking maybe you should be the GM

Thanks I wish I was

Hurst in the First!

I like Hurst but not in the first.  No TE deserves a 1st this year.

Do you even read before you type?

Get the cheap positions via free agency. Draft the expensive ones while they're on a cheap rookie contract while giving high level output.

That's how you manage the cap logically. 

But yes, let's go ahead and waste a rookie contract on a 25 year old low ceiling low floor prospect that's going to cost dirt cheap anyways with a first rounder.

I agree Hurst is an AWFUL pick (and it won't happen).  But I generally don't like discriminating on a pick based on what the position is paid.  Yes, we should've brought in a cheap RB and TE, but I guess the value wasn't there at the price we wanted.

That said, I really hope we draft a CB or Ridley/DJ Moore.  Value at safety won't be there unless James or Fitzpatrick fall.  After drafting a CB or WR, then we can move up to get Reid, or stay and get a Bates
