Would the Panthers be interested in Greedy Williams?

He's a great player but without a pass rush no CB will succeed in our defense. I'm hoping Ed Oliver falls to us if we get pick 7

 

That’s a defensive tackle. We can’t ignore end any longer if we’re going defensive line. Peppers is 38 and addition is at least 30. Fresh legs needed.

I just said "pass rush", being able to collapse the pocket from the interior would be a godsend from our defense. At 7 we should probably go BPA and ultimately one of the big guys will likely be there at that pick. Outside of Bosa there is no edge I like inside of the top 8.

I think Gary is just as good as Oliver and has the versatility to slide inside and push for the interior same as you would get from Ed Oliver.. whom I love. But after double dipping at dt and butler I just can’t bear another defensive tackle in a super deep defensive tackle class.

We don't need CB with the 1st pick. We have Bradberry, Jackson and Cocktrel. 3 good corners. Get a CB in the 3rd. I agree DE or DT with the 1st pick unless a great OL (especially Tackle) is there. Heck an amazing C to anchor the line would be good to. No matter who, they need to hit a home run.

I think slot was a major weakness.. we don’t know anything about cockrell. If you draft a defensive tackle he right away comes in behind Poe and short sorta of like butler was being star and short. I don’t like the idea of taking  a luxuary defensive tackle when you can get starters right away.

No we need a good corner , we are in the NFC south and have one of the worst secondaries in the NFL . Donte Jackson is solid , cockrell is unknown , bradberry is a decent rotation corner

If we drafted Williams, who would you put in the slot?

Jackson moves to slot in nickel and put greedy on the outside.  Bradberry has one more year left on deal, probably let him walk after next year cuz i dont see him being worth crazy money right now.

Of course

The dude is the mpst hyped and best projected CB to come out of DBU since Patrick Peterson 

And there has been some good ones to come out of there since.  Tre'davious White, Donte Jackson, etc.

CB isnt up there with a issue as youd see DL, OL, etc

But any time a elite CB projected top 5 falls, you grab him.  And lets not forget.  Remember the Norman fallout? This is a contract year for Bradberry coming up.  And id be weary of giving him top #1 CB $$ as inconsistent as he's been.  And if he walks after next season, itll be similar to Norman all over.  In the meantime Donte Jackson could play Nickel. And this draft is Deeep at DL so you would still get a solid player in the 2nd

 

 

But Greedy aint going to fall to us.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
