Draft Position Watch (Week 3 edition)


Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D.

Recommended Posts

Look, I know week 3 is very early to start thinking about the draft.  I get it. The team is 0-2, dead last in the power rankings, not favored in a single game for the rest of the season and just lost our main offensive weapon to injury.  Aside from watching the young team develop, many people are looking for something to root for this season.  Therefor, I will give you 10 games that directly impact the Panthers draft position for anyone interested.  If you are not interested, feel free to go read a post about Cam or uniform colors.  That being said:

The Panthers are currently tied with Atlanta for the first pick in the 2021 draft.  We are both 0-2 and have a SOS of .500.  The lower the SOS, the better when it comes to draft position.  Here are the top 10 games that will affect our current draft position. Highlighted is the team that needs to win the game. 

 

1)      Bears @ Falcons: Falcons (.500) are currently 0-2 and tied with the Panthers in current SOS.

2)      Titans @ Vikings: Vikings (.531) are currently 0-2.

3)      Lions @ Cardinals: Lions (.531) are currently 0-2.

4)      49ers @ Giants: Giants (.594) are currently 0-2.

5)      Dolphins @ Jaguars: Dolphins (.594) are currently 0-2.

6)      Buccaneers @ Broncos: Broncos (.594) are currently 0-2.

7)      Texans @ Steelers: Texans (.625) are currently 0-2. Even though there first round pick was traded, it is their record that determines the order. 

8)      Jets @ Colts: Jets (.625) are currently 0-2.

9)      Bengals @ Eagles: Bengals (.531) have a lower SOS than the Eagles (.594). Both teams are 0-2. A tie here would be the best case scenario.

10)   Washington @ Browns: Washington (.438) is currently 1-1 but has a lower current SOS than the Panthers.

Say the Jets and Giants pick ahead of us, and we're third....do they stick with their young QBs, or build around them?  Lawrence could fall to us....unless someone (Jacksonville) trades up.

We'll see.

Jets 100% take Trevor...Giants are not dead set on a qb but I put it at 50/50 chance they take Trevor.

Giants have me wondering if Gettleman will be too prideful and pass to show that he was right about Daniels.

I don't think it matters. Whatever team who has the #1 pick will either take Trevor or get an absolute haul of picks to trade down if they don't need a QB. We need so so much between OL, LB, and DB the only way this works is if we get Trevor #1 or one of the other 2 QBs top 5. Whatever we do, I hope it doesn't involve trading our picks to move up.

Agreed...he is going #1 definitely

Are you cool doing this weekly? I'd love to be able to see this updated weekly all season, unless we somehow win a bunch of games and preemptively remove ourselves from the draft conversation (which would be great, but highly unlikely).

Go Jaguars!  Jacksonville is still bad and would be a threat to draft Trevor. Miami is not drafting him unless Tua gets hurt again

I think by the end of the year neither team will be close to being bad enough for 1st overall so the point is probably moot, but I'm not sure it matters whether it's JAX or MIA 1st overall -- JAX would draft him and if Fins got the pick they'd trade out of the spot to the highest bidder which very well may not be us even if we're 2nd overall. We just need to hope we get 1st overall, and there are many teams that are bigger threats to sucking than JAX and MIA I think.

    • Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.          
    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
