I suspect the Panthers are desperately trying to trade up right now

I agree on the small school OL thing, and if Risner is there, I'd rather have him. He can play anywhere on the line.

I would have no problem with Risner if we go OL at #47. I just don't want Little amd I'll hope I'm wrong if we pick him. I'll REALLY hope I'm wrong if we trade up to draft him.

We have 3 picks in the 3rd. Give up one and maybe next years 2nd for a quality OT like cody ford and get a safety. I think we are good enough at CB with bradberry and jackson. May need depth there though.

3?

If I were the Panthers, I would declare Moton as the LT.  All of this indecision creates chaos.  I am tired of this "lets see who sticks" approach to OL. I am tired of RR explaining the concept of competition to us as if it was his original idea and they do not know what they have until one rises to the top. We get that--it is what you say when you have no friggin plan.  Evaluate talent and bring in people who can get the job done.  Williams was a day 3 pick,  our LG was undrafted from the PS, our LT was a street free agent because our $55m act of desperation got hurt--What is the plan? Cam is recovering from surgery for the second year in  a row and RR is practicing his draft day idioms?

You all laugh at what Atlanta did in the draft yesterday, but they now have an OL with 5 first rounders.  Ryan is not getting dirty.

GMs seem to be wising up to the value of draft picks based on the trades so far. Seems like teams are getting a lot less than what they have in the past, with a lot of 3rd and 4th rounders being dealt for big move ups in the first.  

Past the first 2 rounds, it's such a crapshoot in identifying who is going to succeed at the next level. You want to give yourself as many opportunities to find a gem. Plus veteran salaries for even borderline probowl level talent are skyrocketing while picks in the midrounds are close to/below veteran minimum. 

All this to say if we give up more than a 5th, I will be pissed regardless of the target, particularly given the way the draft has played out so far. 

And final point, can anyone think of a time Hurney traded up for a player and it really worked out? I feel like the outcomes span from colossal, set-your-franchise-back-years level mistake to a push at best.

The Carolina Panthers are likely trying like heck to trade up right now. If Burns was no longer on the board last night or if Hurney was able to trade back and acquire a few picks, I suspect Greg Little was a first round possibility. The fact that he is still available in round 2 and the Panthers desperately need a natural left tackle, well, it doesn't take much to realize that Hurney has likely been on the phone all day wheeling and dealing.

No they would’ve just taken Dillard if Burns was gone

Good to see you come around. Moton is the best LT we have and the best one we can get. Risner, Ford and probably Taylor could compete with Williams and make the other be LG.

The only laughing at Atlanta is that they used 14, 45 and 76 to get a G they could have had in the 20s (get another 3rd) and a T they likely could have gotten at 45 or using their 4th to move up. They could have had the same 2 and had two 3rds instead of those 2 and no 3rds. They also signed 2 FA guards who with the guarantees they own almost $23M over the next two years. Basically they drafted a starter and have paid the FA Gs as much as we paid Matt Kalil (helps put it into perspective in here). 

I never came around---again, I said they refuse to show any signs that Moton is the LT and if they thought he was going to be the LT of 2019, they should have started him there in 2018----that is still the case, which is why we are riding the fence on LT now--I don't think they know.  I explained that there is a difference between what we think and what they seem willing to do, based on the facts.  Standing behind that very simple concept.

I'd have taken two solid linemen from this draft and wouldn't mind a trade up for a tackle, hopefully keep one of our thirds and grab a safety with that. Then whatever we have left grab the best defensive players available and maybe a late round rb. 

Likely going to be Jalin Moore. Will go ahead and throw that out there.

I just gotta believe we only trade up for a s, they are flying off the board, hoping a low risk trade but there are only 4 s left worth a dam and one in my opinion is the perfect match with Reid, Adderly. At this point, trading up for a t is moot, could get one in the 3rd but same may be said for s. 

Grab the s in the second than load up the line in the 3rd

If they view him as the LT it sets up the draft to be a really good one.  We don’t have move up and get a really good player at 47.  And then get 3 more quality pieces before pick 116. 

Man I have my fingers crossed for H2.0 right now.  If we hit this draft we could be in a really good place moving forward.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I hope we're not going all in this year. We couldn't outright win our own division with a losing record. We had 2 anomalous wins. Typically you aren't going to win scoring 13 and have your opponent have an absolute train wreck offense.  Also, a team scoring 16 on 6 trips to the red zone is not normal either. I'm not trying to be a pessimist. We're not there. Bryce isn't there. Most of the year our offense legitimately struggled and the missing piece wasn't a TE. Keep building through the draft and reasonable FA. When we have a team that's on the edge of being able to make a legitimate SB run, then go all in. Otherwise, going all in right now feels like another Bryce situation. Sell out and pray. That's not how consistent winners are built.

      BREAKING: Panthers have interest in Deebo Samuel

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      XL might never reach his full potential here but I think he does have a legitimate shot at becoming a pretty good #2-3. We knew when we picked him that he was raw but his athletic traits were hard to pass on.  I still remember coming here and telling 85% of huddlers to not give up on DB yet after his first couple of years here.  I just knew DB was going to special. I wouldn't put XL in that exact same category but I wouldn't write him off yet. I think our playcalling is also working against his strengths.  At the very least, we should have a servicable #3 receiver w/ speed between XL, Horn Jr, and Meetchie.

      I think we haven't praised Morgan/tilis enough. In this thread we have some huddles best and its hard to figure out what to do with the 19th pick, if you understand that. Im also posting what "I" believe they are doing and what I feel is best. Those FA signess send a clear signal- They are going all-in to win this coming season. If you factor that in, just believe it first, it 100% changes what going on with pick 19, cause 51st pick doesn't matter as the talent level drop is petty big between the two. So 19 is the biggest difference maker on the current plan of all-in for the 2026.  Then you factor in who will be there at, (I better hold off on my other strong thought here- I think trade up is the best help too, yes using that 3rd to do so too...) DT, ILB(Allen? he didn't run), OC, QB(ooo my I don't want to rage drool my hate again about how I feel here, plus F it draft TY simp not joking)....... those 4 groups don't have the "BPA" at 19. You can add ILB Hill in there, but I feel 19 just is too high, other disagree.  Slot or TE it is......Kenyon is the only TE worth a 1st and he's the classic draft dilemma- All sort of he's a top ten lock to he's a non-blocking one trick WR that's not even worth 2nd currency. Then there's he's the clear winner from the TE group, thus increases his value more no matter the opinion.  Honestly I see the Matt Millen outcome as the current odds favorite, I think the huddle would go bonkers for weeks as result......just the truth tho, WR had the highest odds to be the clear BPA and slot is a need...plus if we are talking about Walker being a one year deal, Coker is a one year too(he may have another controll yr, I got to confirm it tho). Plus God forbid Tmac gets hurt, the drop in talent from him or Coker to Moore is fuging scary, I'd say more than the recent OT stone fellow. It goes back back to adding talent no matter what, draft now help, and where are  the weak points are in the system you want to run....
