Pick 8 Prospects

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.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
