Panthers Draft Position (How High Can We Go?)

The DLine is the most glaring issue here, not QB. We already have a QB1 under contract for next year. Depending on how the coaching search goes, Cam could be here for the foreseeable future, provided he is healthy. I believe we will know before the draft if that is going to be the case.

So, if Cam is healthy, I'm targeting DT, specifically Derrick Brown. If he's not there, I trade back in the first and try to get Kinlaw or Davis. We can't go into 2020 with a defense that ranks near last in the league against the run. Heck, we may need to draft TWO DTs to help offset the idea of losing McCoy. 

If Cam ISN'T healthy or doesn't buy into the new staff, then yeah, we go QB in the first, but I really hate the idea of over-drafting a QB. I'd make a real run at the Bengals pick, offering them Cam, our first and a fourth to get the overall #1. Heck, it may take even more than that, but if you are going to go after QB, it had better damn well be the right one.

Will Grier pulls a Kyle Allen and gets the start in Week 17. He balls out against the Saints. The Huddle instantly believes he's the heir apparent and that we should draft a tackle. 

Regardless of what ever cosmic and or supernatural event happens, Panthers should draft a tackle and interior OL.

That’s not true most years. We got lucky last year that the Giants and Redskins went QB and Atlanta went G. We would have taken Little had we not gotten Burns. That disaster of a scenario has no chance if we pick 8th. Yes, you can make the right pick regardless, but you sometimes need bad picks to get lucky. The higher the better and the less luck/more talent available.

Also, people seem to forget that you gain an advantage every round. We moved up 10 spots for Little and gave up pick 77. We dropped 8 of those 10 spots due to beating NO. If Hurney’s still here, having higher picks lessens the chance of a bad move like that.

I’m not really worried about position because I think we’ll end around 9/10. That said we could drop a lot if we do win.

Here are some examples. Everyone talks about how Hurney nails the fist round. But if you are in the top 15 or so it is really difficult to miss. A monkey could throw a dart. Then really easy to miss in rounds 2+.

I think last year we went from #10 to #16 and I did a similar excersize comparing #16 to #10 historically and #10 was way worse.

2012

Luck at #1, #5-9 good players, #10-13 exceptional. Good players throughout the first round.

2008

Same: #4-9 forgettable then talent in #10-16

2013

#1 Great #6-12 forgettable

2014

Well the first 17 are all great except bake bortles.

2015

Throw a dart at picks #1-17 and you are more than likely to find a star

2005

Throw a dart at picks #1-15 and you are more than likely to find a star

2011

Throw a dart at picks #1-16 and you are more than likely to find a star

2010

Throw a dart at picks #1-27 and you are more than likely to find a star

2003

Hard to miss at picks #1-11

2007

2006
