The Carolina Panthers are currently in place to pick 9th in the NFL draft. We are tied with 4 other teams at 5-10 and have a SOS = .529 rankings us behind the Lions (.504) and Giants (.506) but in front of the Broncos (.567).  Given the outcome of this weekend, the Panthers could move as high as 3rd or as low as 15th.  Here are the games that Directly impact our draft position. I am going to assume we lose this weekend, but who the heck knows anymore.

 

1)      Cowboys @ Giants: If the Giants win this game, we move ahead of them in the draft order.

2)      Vikings @ Lions: If the Lions win this game, we move ahead of them in the draft order.

3)      Redskins @ Eagles: If the Eagles win this game, we move ahead of them in the draft order.

4)      Ravens @ Bengals: If the Bengals win this game, we move ahead of them in the draft order.

5)      Falcons @ Bucs: If the Falcons win this game, we have a tied record, but move ahead of them due to our lower SOS (.529 vs .550)

6)      Titans @ Texans: If the Texans win this game, we have a tied record, but move ahead of them due to our lower SOS (.529 vs .540)

 

These 6 games directly impact our draft position and could slide us from 9th to 3rd in the draft and completely make up for that meaningless victory last week.

I don't want to go there, but you could've left off the last 10 words and the post would've been perfect! I pied your post anyway, as it's cut-and-dried---clear and concise!

Obviously I would love to see all of them as you suggested to win.  Would make things much easier for us. 

1)      Cowboys @ Giants: If the Giants win this game, we move ahead of them in the draft order.

This is a possibility because it is in NY and this is a rivalry.  I don't think the Giants have a chance for the playoffs anymore so they may play less inspired. 

2)      Vikings @ Lions: If the Lions win this game, we move ahead of them in the draft order.

Cook being out will give the Lions a shot.  They aren't bad offensively and might surprise the Vikings

3)      Redskins @ Eagles: If the Eagles win this game, we move ahead of them in the draft order.

This will all depend on Heinke.   If he plays well the Redskins defense will limit Philly's offense.

4)      Ravens @ Bengals: If the Bengals win this game, we move ahead of them in the draft order.

Only in my wildest dreams do I think Cincinnati to upset the Ravens.  I'm not 100% sure but a loss here could put Baltimore out of the playoffs. 

5)      Falcons @ Bucs: If the Falcons win this game, we have a tied record, but move ahead of them due to our lower SOS (.529 vs .550)

The Bucs are in (I think) So resting Brady might be a good idea.  Atlanta had them in Atlanta but screwed it up.

6)      Titans @ Texans: If the Texans win this game, we have a tied record, but move ahead of them due to our lower SOS (.529 vs .540)

Titans need to win to be in.  They'll win.

Sean "Arseface" Payton will probably do what he has done in the past by encouraging Aints to purposely lose out to hurt us by pushing our draft spot into the teens.

They have an opportunity to be the top seed.  They'll play to win.  They would be more upset if they let this game get away and Chicago pulls the upset.

1) Sunday 1PM

2)  Sunday 1PM

3) Sunday 8:20 PM

4) Sunday 1PM

5) Sunday 1PM

6) Sunday 4:25 PM

I assume that we'll get ATL/Bucs and either Pit/Browns or Bal/Cin on local TV. Makes for an interesting day of football. We should know, basically where we stand before we kick off. Hope Ron shits the bed again!

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
