I think we need to rank our needs

 

Then I think we need to identify the positions that are hard to come by (I call the rarity rating--for example, QB, LT, DE.... Explanation:  If you have a need at LT, WR, and DE and the WR is the best player on the board, you still may take the LT because they are harder to find.  In addition to getting the rare position, you probably get a player on a rookie contract that has a bigger salary on a second contract.  For example, if the average 4-3 DE in the league makes $8m and the average LT in the league makes $10m, the LT on a rookie contract saves the team $8m over 4 years (theoretical).

Then look at the draft's "drop off" points.  (for example, WR is deep--talent is strong in rounds 1 and 2, good in rounds 3 into the 4, and it drops off in the middle of round 4.  Result:  We could get a good WR in the fourth round.   QB:  strong: top 5, good: first round-mid second round Result:  Do not draft a QB unless Burrow falls. 

Somebody could develop a computer software program that would crosswalk these factors and identify the best players to pick...

      Yea when teams see a gun charge they rightly pause but this seems like a big misunderstanding.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...
