Pick 8 Prospects


Untouchable

Recommended Posts

Prospects who should be considered gone:  Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields, Zach Wilson, Penei Sewell, Ja'Marr Chase

Lawrence is the best QB prospect since Luck so he's going #1.  Fields is probably the 3rd best QB prospect to come out in the last 4 years.  With 3 other teams potentially in the market for a QB before the Panthers pick and Miami as a trade back wildcard, Wilson is likely gone as well.  Sewell is the second best prospect in this draft and he's going top 5 somewhere.  Miami, Cincy, Philly, Atlanta or Detroit are all potential landing spots for a feature WR prospect like Chase.

 

Prospects in play for Panthers at Pick 8

Elite Talents: Micah Parsons, Kyle Pitts, DeVonta Smith - You're getting a stud and it really doesn't matter what position they play.  If you can get an elite talent you take it and figure out the rest.

Position of Need (CB): Patrick Surtain, Caleb Farley - These are the top 2 CB prospects and both are very good press man corner prospects.

Position of Need (LT): Christian Darrisaw, Rashawn Slater, Alijah Vera-Tucker - This is going to depend on the teams evaluation of which one is the best.  I personally think it is Darrisaw (pending the Combine) but I've seen the other two listed as the top LT prospects as well.  This is a huge need and has been for the better part of a decade and a position teams overdraft frequently.  Rhule strongly suggested OL was going to be a focus this draft too.

Position of Need (QB): Trey Lance - If you need a QB your team is going to take a chance and you're either getting Josh Allen or Blake Bortles here.  Lance is the last one who should go in the 1st.  Is the staff going to roll the dice?

 

I really think the Panthers should either grab the QB or trade back targeting a LT prospect but there are a bunch of you who follow the draft closely so give me your thoughts too.  Who's gone? Who's in play? Who's the pick?

I agree on grabbing a QB but if that's not an option, it's best to take an elite talent (BPA) unless we get an offer we can't refuse to trade back. A stud LB or CB would go a long way to strengthening our defense. OL is deep in this draft and we could probably get a serviceable LT in round 2.

We're sitting right about the edge of that projected OT run right now with our second rounder. There's 4 or 5 prospects that projected to go in the 20-40 range. This is a good draft to need an OL overhaul and I wouldn't be surprised to see us go OT and iOL in the first 2 rounds similar to 2003.

I dont watch any college FB and I get 'draft value' so Parsons and Pitts due to their positions would be over drafted at #8 but man, those guys would be awesome to have. 

I would have a hard time passing on Parsons given his hype. 

I've gotten a good look at Parsons over the years, living in the area he grew up. He deserves every bit of the hype.

The team that pulls the trigger on Pitts is getting the most dominant pass catcher in this draft outside of JaMarr Chase.

Every Florida game I watched, Pitts absolutely dominated. The thought of him in this offense with the weapons we already have is insane. I’d LOVE to have him, but we don’t have a QB to get him(or our other weapons) the ball and I’m not crazy about a TE selected in the top 10. As with everyone I’m hoping for a QB.
 

Ready to take the chance on Lance.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
