Possible Draft Scenario Now That We’re Picking #9

Here’s how I believe the draft will play out before we select if we stay at #9.

1. Jaguars - Trevor Lawrence

Consensus number 1 pick, nothing else to say here.

2. Jets - QB(Fields/Wilson) or Penei Sewell

If Jets’ new coaching staff decides to stick with Darnold, Sewell is the pick, If not...It will be either Justin Fields or Zach Wilson

3. Falcons - QB(Fields/Wilson) or Penei Sewell)

This is easy...If Jets stick with Darnold and Pick Sewell, Falcons will pick the QB they want and let him sit and learn behind Ryan for at least a year.  If Jets select QB and Sewell is available, it’ll be hard for the Falcons to pass on a franchise left tackle.

So at this point, Lawrence, Sewell and either one of Fields or Wilson are gone.

4. Dolphins - Jamar Chase or Micah Parsons

Dolphins are in position to do a lot here. This is where I believe it will get interesting, this pick could very well easily be traded for a team wanting a QB (could be the Panthers).  But for the sakes that trades are very hard to predict, sticking with the current order, they could select weapons for Tua or build up more on their defense with Micah.  

5. Bengals - Micah Parsons or Jamar Chase or Kyle Pitts

 Weapons for Burrow or build the defense, and same as the Dolphins, pick could be traded if they chose to instead want to select protection for Burrow but no other OL is worthy of a top 10 pick, and move back with a team wanting to move up for a QB

6. Eagles - Devonta Smith

 Hard to believe they’ll select a QB here, they have Hurts who looks promising and Wentz will still be with the team most likely.  They select possibly the best WR in the draft which is a position they much need

7. Lions - QB or Gregory Rousseau or Patrick Surtain

 QB here if the Lions decide to move on from Matthew Stafford.  Up to here, Trevor Lawrence and either Justin Fields or Zach Wilson are gone..so selection here is either of the two the are left or Trey Lance.  Leaving one of the top 4 left still available. Or if they stick with Stafford, they pair Trey Flowers with Rousseau or pair up Jeff Okudah with arguably the best DB in the draft.

8. Giants - Gregory Rousseau or Patrick Surtain

If the Lions don’t select QB and select either of these players, Giants go with best defensive player available.  I don’t think they will move on from Daniel Jones...you guys know how stubborn Gettleman is, unless of course he’s fired and bring someone new in to be the GM. 

...

For the Panthers concern, one QB WILL go to the Jets or Falcons, another may go to Lions, that’s 3 QBs gone including Lawrence to the Jaguars. One of the top 4 (Most likely Trey Lance) still has a high chance of still being available for the Panthers at #9. And if there’s concern on missing out on all top 4, a trade up with Dolphins or Bengals should be considered.

      Defensive Tackle: The Need that Shall Not be Named

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      If you look at our depth chart, this has to be at the top of the primary needs list. Outside of a true rangy FS that balances Moehrig, I don't see any other "immediate" needs for 2026.  Beyond this year, figuring out C, OT, TE1 and WR3 and probably CB2 (are we going to pay Jaycee and Mike Jack?) are on my radar.  My list at 19 (in no order) : Freeling Thieneman McNeil-Warren McDonald Miller  Sadiq   I think CB is also low key going to be a selection earlier than anticipated...Chris Johnson on day 2 fits what we're looking for, IMO and he balled out at the combine. The salaries we just took on and BY9 coming up, I struggle to believe Mike Jack is a Panther next year.

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      Walker is a 1 year signing. Stone is a 1 year. BC is coming back from an Achilles injury. Typically takes 2 years to get back to full health, but he's also better inside than at tackle. Yosh retired. Moton will have 1 year remaining on his contract and he's already admitted knee issues. That's banking on a whole lot of nothing at the end of this upcoming season.  As far as challenging Bryce, a challenge can come from any round. It's about finding the right QB with the physical and mental talent that fits the system. Wilson, Dak, Purdy, Brady. Just a few examples of non 1st round QBs that were able to challenge the starters.  Another QB doesn't necessarily have to beat out Bryce, but we should be looking for another starting caliber QB. It's not like Bryce has set the bar so high it's unattainable. The bar is low. The goal is playoffs. Do we throw away a season if Bryce gets hurt, because KP is taking us nowhere. Dan has made some great signings this FA period, I give him that. But replacing Dalton with KP is not aggressively improving our QB room. It's at best a lateral move. This is all about getting better. But this is yet another move that makes it even less conspiracy theory, and more reality, that Bryce is being protected from any real adversity in our QB room.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Oh I think it will be. My point was that we need to be trying to get better in the QB room. KP doesn't do that. He's not going to be a long term plan with a 1 year contract. He's just insurance.  This "should" be a make or break year for Bryce. Either He's a guy worthy of an extension or not. Bringing in a rookie number 2 with potential may net us nothing, or it could get us something. The one thing we can be certain of is KP gets us nothing and that's not a good position to be in.  I don't want to go into next year with no number 2, Bryce not having developed I to a real QB1, and sitting at 12 or 15 needing to move up to take a QB in the draft just like we did for Bryce. It's not an outcome I see going well for us.
