The Wayyyyy Too Early Draft Projection

So that Panthers are currently sitting with the 11th overall draft pick, but I feel they will likely have the 15th overall pick. With us being over halfway into the season, what do you all think we should target positionally? Defensive line, O-line, CB, Safety? Maybe QB?? 

I know this doesn't help our team any but I would like us to take Kyle Pitts (TE) out of Florida, seems like he could fall to us and he is a STUD. Trey Lance might be there as well as a few decent Edge Rushers and Joe Horns son, Jaycee Horn who plays CB....

What is your thoughts??

Unfortunately the Panthers are excellent at pointlessly beating bad teams down the stretch with draft position on the line. The Saints also make a point of tanking against us in the last game of the season (it's tradition) to add that extra win to push us so far down the draft that you'd think we had a good season.

We'll probably be drafting so far down that the player we select will be a player unknown to most of the Huddle. We'll beat Minn, Wash, and NO's second string. We're screwed, but we knew this when we brought in Teddy to try and win now.

If you have a chance to get Lance/Wilson or whatever QB we think is worthy, you take them without question.  We HAVE to find our QB before this team can ever be great, so if you have a chance at your guy you have to take it. If we don't like the QBs where we are, BPA plain and simple.  Roster has some talent, sure, but we could still use upgrades literally everywhere with a heavy emphasis on the OL preferably.

Would vastly prefer a LT to TE.

Why?  Difficult to find quality ones outside of first round combined with how important they are to winning. Also note the degree to which Brady's offense seems to need a pass catching TE to be effective, as in not very much, vs how much it needs an effective LT to keep it's QB upright, as in desperately.

My school of thought is that in a pass wacky NFL, premium positions that throw the ball, protect the ball thrower, knock the ball thrower down, and to a lesser extent, cover the guy the ball thrower is throwing to, are the ones most likely to merit mid to upper first round picks. WR's and TE's don't really imo because good ones are more abundant than quality at the positions mentioned. Thus I like QB's, OT's DE's and maybe elite CB's in the top half of the first.

I pray this team does not spend it's next first on Micah Parsons, not because I have anything against him, but because he plays the least relevant position on the defense to stopping the pass in a passing league. This team needs an upgrade to Whitehead at MLB, but too many here seem wedded to the notion that can only be done in the first round.

Bollux I say.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
