Under the Radar 1st Round Panther Pick

So, all this talk has been about Edge and LT because we're having a lot of private visits with several top guys at those positions. 

My question is do you all have a guy you would be happy to get for our 1st round pick that we haven't discussed a lot about?

My UTR pick would be Jerry Tillery. He wont make it to our 2nd round pick. He was extremely productive in college and is very explosive. I remember he wowed me at the combine as well. 

He would be a great 3-4 DE or 4-3 DT to pair with KK on obvious passing downs. 

So,  whose your UTR pick?

Savage has been talked about a lot on day 2 but not at all in the first, and I think he’s in play there and I’d be fine with it (though not my top choice and I dream to get him in the 2nd).

 

Hockenson hasn’t ever really been mentioned with the Panthers but if he’s there, he’s the pick. And while it’s unlikely he’s there, I don’t think it’s impossible.

A name you hear very little of is Clelin Ferrell. Given free agency / pre-draft presser I find it hard to believe that DL/Edge is not the focus with the 1st round selection. Offensive line and Safety also seem like the next area of focus as well.

Tillery is grossly underrated.

My UTR pick is still Garrett Bradbury. Not saying we will pick him since signing a FA starting caliber center, but he could be chosen to play guard with an eye to the future. Smart kid, multi-spot player on the line, something they talked about during the presser.

D-line should be our top priority, followed by Hockenson (if he is there) followed up by O-line -- left tackle, G/C in that order of preference.

Honestly, though, it could be of any position as we could go with BPA and make due elsewhere.

I would have said Ed Oliver til his pro day.

I'm going with the top LBs, White and Bush. I think there's a .05% chance White is there. Bush is a carbon copy and should be there. Plus he could easily be the BPA too. 

Yeah Oliver just blew up since the draft process started. I was always intrigued about what would happen if DEs went early and we ended up getting someone we wouldn't expect. So what could White or Bush bring to the table for the Panthers? What could they do better than Shaq Thompson?

First, your Tillery pick is a great example of an under radar panther pick.

  Honestly wish Oliver never had his pro-day, cause I do not see him falling out of the top ten(minus a gas mask vid). Honestly, my reason for picking White/Bush is Herniay and Ron love LBs and love picking them(just look at the history). There could easily be a run on DL/Edge, QB and OT leaving White overlooked. Another reason is after the top 2, the LB group is very very light on talent. Not going speak about Luke and the unspeakable cause he looks over that, but Shaq is on a one year deal. With all the talk about hybrid 3-4/4-3 people have forgotten LBs. Inside LB in a 3-4 aliment is vastly different than 4-3. Lastly, both are above average in the pass coverage along with being speed demons, so both are 3 down players.  

I personally wouldn't be shocked or pissed about white or bush being the pick

Tillery and Winovich are my two undervalued players that I'm a big fan of. 

Depending on who is there at 16 I would be opposed to trading down and taking Tillery and then using the capital to move up and grab Winovich in the second. 

I think some teams are going to get two good players in the late first, early second range.

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

      If we pay Bryce like a franchise QB we're completely and utterly buttfuged.

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

      By MHS831 · Posted

      In my view, the realistic expectation for this team to compete will start 2027.  At that time, I think we could be looking at the following (this is HIGHLY speculative):   QB:  You know, Bryce.  I am not a fan, but they don't ask me.  But there is reason for hope--and here it is.  Bryce will be entering his prime.  Since we are likely to pay him, there will be changes that I include throughout this exercise--I realistically speculate on what they are going to do with Bryce and then I realistically speculate on what means in terms of the cap and other positions. Bryce HAS IMPROVED.  The idea is that if you give him more weapons and protection, that will continue.  His career:   At this rate, if his growth continues, by 2027 we should expect nearly 30 TDs and about 12 Interceptions and a Rating of about 98.  His completion percentage should settle at 65-66% or so.  If that happens, you can win with it. The following stats demonstrate how the Panthers will be able to afford it (and re-sign Ickey) My guess is they will require about $60m per year. This is why rookies who can play are important.  It also helps us see the blueprint.  You may disagree, but this is the cruel realities of the salary cap. Robert Hunt:  Cut post June 1 and save $19m.  Who do you replace him with?  Ickey. Tershawn Wharton:  Cutting him saves nearly $15m.  We should all hope to see Aaron Hall (UDFA) make the roster and play well.  Regardless, this is a position we would likely have to address in the next draft. Trevin Moehrig:  Cutting Moehrig as the starting SS saves this team $16.5m.   Ransom will be on year 3 of a cheap rookie deal and should be more than ready to take the reins.  their styles are similar.  Furthermore, FS Wheatley (R, 4th round) will be starting. Taylor Moton:  So much depends on his knee, but I have an idea that he can play another 3 years.  extending him could save the team about $5m per year.  Cutting him outright would save the team about $21m. In the most drastic situation, we have to cut Moton and the other three players mentioned.   We would need (in all likelihood) a starting DT and RT.  It is possible that the DE would be addressed, but Wharton's production (so far) could be equaled by a rookie.  Look for a cut free agent and a 2027 draft pick here.  If you cut Moton, you save $21m, and that would be the only big hole to fill.  Having Ickey at RG gives you some depth at T, and Ickey could be the guy.  T could be pick in the 2027 draft (first round), fwiw.  It saves you $21m while costing you $5m, for example. We get younger, creating a core of Freeling, Hecht, and the RT first rounder in 2027) along with Ekownu (second contract in the $15m range, and Lewis, whose contract would be in the $16m range if not extended.)  The OL cuts (Hunt, Moton) would save $40m.  The OL would get younger and still solid with veterans at G.   By cutting Wharton (no brainer if his play stays the same) and Moehrig (good player--but we have Ransom on a rookie contract who would not be that much of a drop off--if any) in addition to Hunt and Moton, we would save over $70m in cap room. We would be able to give Bryce bag  and we would have enough to re-sign Ickey (if the knee is not too risky) to a Guard contract (probably at a discount, coming off that injury).  Furthermore, we could add a RT in the draft (or a RG if Ickey moves to RT) and that would be the only large hole to fill. Correct my logic if you see issues-- On defense, in addition to the aforementioned, Scott ($2m contract) is out, replaced by a 4th round rookie contract. CB Jackson's contract ($7.8m) expires and he is (possibly) replaced by a rookie contract.  At Edge, patrick Jones II's $10m contract expires and he is likely a reserve, and his role is absorbed by Phillips, Scourton, Princely, and possible an UDFA like Isaiah Smith or a 2027 draft pick.   These productive developmental players over the past 2 drafts will pay huge dividends.  On paper, I see the team getting much younger and possibly better while cutting nearly $100m and reallocating that money to get more production.

      If everything played out and that last thing happened, I probably just quit.
