You take Sewell. It’ll be a make it or break it year for Teddy with a legit offensive line, the best RB in football and even if we don’t bring Samuel back we have two of the better receivers in the game coming back. Maybe with more consistency on the left side Teddy would take more chances. If not, we lose a lot again and will be around to pick the #3 QB of the next class.

It would be a good problem to have. If Cincy has 4 would they offer some sweet draft capital to trade up one spot?

I don't think they would.  I would certainly love if they did in that situation.  It would be basically paying us to not draft Sewell who is their clear top target.  Unfortunately, our need for a QB is pretty darn clear at this point, so it seems likely Cincy would just stand pat.

If we draft Sewell, Cincy's pick becomes more valuable to lower teams who want a QB.  If we draft a QB, Cincy gets their LT.  No motivation for them to move really.

Never bank on who may be there or a trade. Get who you want without mortgaging more than necessary.

I’d go Wilson easy. Wasn’t last year the generational can’t miss on the top LT prospect draft? Becton, Wirfs, Wills, etc? I feel like I hear that every draft.

Every year is some 'generational' talent.. draft jargon..

If you have the chance to draft a franchise QB without having to give up draft picks you take it 10/10 times. Trent Scott has played LT the majority of the season for us and we have still had a decent line and have been in almost every game that we have lost. QB is the deciding factor on winning or not in the NFL.

This is a great question, because Sewell could very well be the best player in this draft. 

I still think you go with whichever QB they like best. Likely Lance or Wilson. 

Sewell is a great prospect but Lawrence is the best player in the draft.

That said I’d go QB. Having Sewell at LT doesn’t make Teddy a better QB. Maybe he’s sacked a little less but it doesn’t make his ducks to Moore go faster and more accurate. Why keep wasting our talented players with a mediocre QB?

Groom a QB and if you don’t want to save $8M on Teddy, let him get whacked more, keep losing close games and get a LT next year. Extend Moton and go G on day 2 and day 3. We’ve at least got 1 5th comp, so draft 3 potential G/Cs to groom instead of pulling UDFAs and hope we get a Norwell. Add some other draft pieces and live through another Teddy suck year and get ready for prime time starting 2022.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.

      Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.

      Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
