  1. 1. In a completely hypothetical where Brown, Okuda and Simmons are all available, you choose:

    • Brown over Simmons, Okudah
      21
    • Okudah over Simmons, Brown
      45
    • Simmons over Brown, Okudah
      27
    • Top WR--class is too deep not to take the top guy
      3
    • Got to fix OT now; draft one of these dudes!
      9
    • Herbert or another QB (NOT named Joe Burrow)
      5

This should settle where the bulk of us are at with the draft in a few weeks.  No trades and we are on the clock with the 7th pick.  QBs are out of the question.

Edit: Due to some requests and Hurney's penchant to make dumb mistakes...I added QBs.

Herbert needs to be on list

Why?  Just because Hurney went to his pro day?   The only QB we want will be long gone.  If Tua slides, maybe.  No way we take Herbert at #7.  We'd take Love before Herbert and that ain't happening either.

I think I'd go Simmons, but it's really a tough call. Are we trying to stick with the "be competitive" approach we are taking or trying to get Lawrence? I think Simmons is the best player, but he doesn't make us enough better on D for 2020. We still can't stop the run and we do need a CB or two badly. I honestly don't care about 2020, but the powers that be are trying to act like 2020 matter.s

It's the first draft and the foundation of the new team.  I don't care how talented the 2021 draft is, if Hurney/staff comes up 1 of 8 or 2 of 8 this year, then 2021 has to be a home run draft. If Hurney is still here, that won't happen either.

I would hope this is true but don’t underestimate Hurney’s retardedness. I’d hate Herbert at 7 but I’m prepared for the possibility, and I do think it is a real one.

If Okudah is there you run thr card up..

Positional value high ...check

Need... check

Player ranking and talent level ....check

Personally, I'm torn between Brown and Okudah.  I think Brown will make the most immediate impact and I voted that way.  That said, I like the 2nd round DTs way better than the 2nd round CBs.  So setting up the team for value in the 2nd, I prefer Okudah in the 1st round.

I'm not optimistic for any draft with Hurney anymore. Pick 7 will likely be a stud (not Herbert), which will have very little to do with him. Brown, Simmons and Okudah will not all be available so our choice will either be made or a coin flip. If the 2020 draft is like the last two, we better have the top pick in 2021 or the rebuild/retool is going to take way longer than expected.

2021 would have been a lot easier to be a home run if we had 4 comp picks.

I feel the same way about Hurney.  As long as he's here, our odds of a stellar draft is minimal. This was a completely hypothetical exercise...realizing there's no way this will actually happen.  However, it's like going all-in in a poker game, I wanted see the cards everyone is holding.

      No more mistakes on draft day...

      By Jmac · Posted

      Panthers cannot afford to overlook the defense anymore in the draft. I wouldn't  invest a number number one pick on a QB again in this draft...always a roll of the dice. To many areas of dire need. Choose Dl, Edge or LB for our first round pick. Add another Oline player in the middle rounds. No more PROJECTS or INJURED players please. The QB situation is dicey. Will he ever emerge due to his limited physical abilities or not? They obviously need a plan B on the roster. I hate to say it, but maybe a veteran like Winston for Canales to work with would be an option short term. This season is going down the drain fast.

      Be careful what you wish for

      I did not watch the game just the breakdowns. I haven’t watched any defensive stuff of us.    Obviously did not know that. But no designated Hail Mary thrower, Bryce remains alone at the ‘top’.

      So...Those 2 Point Conversions

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      If we were a top offense, I’d agree but we aren’t so our chance of getting 3 2 pointers is basically 0. There were two calls. Go for 2, which I understand but don’t agree based on our futility, and the actual play call, which was awful both times. Play action fake with a leak out and/or rollout to increase the number of opportunities like a QB run in or multiple targets. We, unfortunately, limited ourselves to one chance and after the first run was stuffed you’d think we wouldn’t do the same thing twice but we did and got the same result.
