"won't be there" realistically


AU-panther

Recommended Posts

So we all joke about the "won't be there" comments this time of year but I wanted to get an idea of who people think we can really cross of the list.  With all the talk of Sweat maybe moving in the top 10 that means somebody else is moving down.

We pick 16th.  I am pretty confident at least 2 QBs go before us, hoping 3 do, teams can get stupid with QBs.  I think we all agree Nick Bosa and Quinnen Williams will go top 5.  That leaves at most 11 more players to be off the board.

Who are you convinced will be one or more of those 11, and therefore "wont be there" for us.

My early list:  Josh Allen, Rashan Gary, and Devin White

If I'm really concerned about picking a DE the question becomes, will Sweat and Ferrell be one of the other 8 that goes before 16?

So to all of you "draft experts"  who would you bet money on not being there?

Respectfully cannot understand this reasoning.  I don't want my team to lose any game, period.  Especially against that team.  I don't care if it moved us back to 33rd.

I would rather my teams lose one game in a meaningless season than to have less talent in the future and subsequently lose more games in the future.

Wouldnt be in this spot, if we would have lost wk 17, as we should have.

Kyle Allen has worked his whole life for an opportunity and he finally got his one chance to go out and prove himself. Same goes for other unproven Panthers (CAP, Gaulden, Haynes). Do you really expect them to lose on purpose?

If this is the thought process AFTER the game, I get it.  Or at least I can not react/post about it. 

Competitors don't play to lose.  Ever.

I am in the middle.  I see both sides, and get it.  I fully expect every Panther player on the field to go out there and try their hardest to win the game.

I just wish our 3rd string wasn't better than the Saints 3rd string for that one game.  I wish the Saints were still playing for home field, so they couldn't slack off.

Who won’t be there:

Bosa, Williams, Allen, White, Oliver, Gary, Simmons, Jonah or J Taylor  whoever is top tackle, Ferrell, Burns or Polite(highest rated),

Thats 10.  I think Haskins and Lock will also go.  

There are 3 Top 15 cbs. But I don’t see them all going before 16.  

Bottom line.  It may be close for sweat. But just remember, he rose recently Bc of senior bowl.  I am hoping for the combine to move some others up.  Hoping for a John Ross to come out of the combine due to speed or other intangibles.

    • I consider last year Bryce's rookie year.....and I expect some regression/D adjustment in his second season in Canales' O.  Film is film.   So yeah, I agree....he won't be the dude that opened up the year week 1 or closed the door week 17.  We will get some dude in between it all most likely.  Which IMO puts us in a really awkward no man's land with Bryce.   
    • The question is which Bryce shows up game 1. Do we get week 2 (2024) Bryce, or week 18 (2024) Bryce?  I will say that his progression after the benching last year was amazing. He literally got better every game - sans Dallas. Like every week he did something we hadn't seen him do before. And it wasn't luck, toss it up for grabs plays like Penix did against Carolina. Penix was just throwing the ball as hard as he could in the direction of a receiver and hoping they'd make a play for him. What we saw from Bryce was different. Decision making, reading defenses, recognizing blitzes and where they were coming from, knowing his hot, avoiding pressure and manipulating the pocket, throwing with anticipation, taking shots downfield, and running the ball surprisingly well. Stats don't always tell the story. Did he miss some throws that he should have made - sure did. But the clutch gene is strong with this one. One score game and Carolina has the ball with 2 minutes on the clock - I'm confident he'll give them a chance to win more than he doesn't. 
    • I really like David Moore. He's a reliable WR. Smart, doesn't drop the ball and he's where he's supposed to be. Now, he ain't gonna route up a DB. He ain't gonna 50/50 ball a DB. He ain't gonna run by a DB either. But he runs a good enough route and catches the ball - definitely an NFL average WR. Every team could use a David Moore. Now if this receiving group can force Dan and Dave to let him go, then this team has come a long way since 2023. A LONG way. But I will say that Horn's speed is a big deal. They don't really have another guy with speed and quickness to blow the top off the defense and make guys miss in space after the catch, though he is still a rookie and hasn't done it in the NFL. If he and Renfrow push Moore out, then we might actually have something gents. Plus I see Renfrow as Thielen's replacement in 2026. I just don't think Coker is the reliable, move the chains guy like Thielen. Could be wrong.
