I can't decide quite yet.

If Fields doesn't get taken at #2, I'd like to trade up to #3 with the team's #8, #39, and 2022 2nd rd picks. If no bite, wait and see who is willing to trade up to #8. If no partners available, my big board looks like this (for the team specifically. This isn't how I view the players overall):

1. Trevor Lawrence, QB, Clemson
2. Justin Fields, QB, Ohio State
3. Penei Sewell, OT, Oregon
4. Micah Parsons, LB, Penn State
5. Kyle Pitts, TE, Florida
6. DeVonta Smith, WR, Alabama
7. Trey Lance, QB, North Dakota State
8. Zach Wilson, QB, BYU

Ideally, trade for Watson.  Give up #8, next year's first, and frankly whatever it takes as filler. 

 

After that, I'm tied with staying at 8 or moving up to 3. I still don't think we see 4 QBs go before us, and honestly I'm not sure both WIlson/Fields go before us.  Between the rising and falling, some teams (like the Jets rumored to be) will decide they're okay or find a FA option, and somebody falls.  Not going to pretend to know off the top of my head, but I feel like the number of times even 3 QBs were selected Top 10 is low.  It's a QB-driven league more so now than ever...but there's also a lot of dumb teams out there, or those that will be happy to take BPA or wait on a Mac Jones or Trask.   

All of that said, if we have "a guy" and we have to go to 3 to get him...go for it.

It all depends on scouting. If you think there are 3 or fewer QBS with solid potential to be a franchise QB then you will probably have to move up. If you think there are 4 QBS with solid potential to be franchise QBS then standing pat will probably net you one of them subject to draft day maneuvering. I have my doubts that trading for Watson is even a possibility. Furthermore, I do not think Jones or Trask are franchise QBS. Nor do I think you are likely to find a franchise QB outside of the first round (probably early).

I'm looking to move up to 5 to get Lance.

I'm not sure if I like Fields or Wilson that much more than Lance to justify the extra cost to get to 2 or 3.

going to 3 might take two 1st and two 2nds, going to 5 might take this years 2nd.

If Lance doesn't work out I have an extra 1st in the future to use on a different QB.

but some team might think Wilson is a sure bet while they have a lot of doubts on Lance. 

At the end up a day its all a gamble, you just have to do your due diligence and make the best gamble you can.

You sit at pick 8 and really wait to see what develops. Go with best player available. There's just too much of a chance that one of the standouts in this draft will fall, not because of some flaw but because there are teams with some serious needs ahead of us.

We, as a team, are sitting at a point where we have some serious needs, but there's a place for the best player of any position. Even RB... if for some reason the unquestioned best player available was a RB, we'd still either make a two-headed monster at RB or find someone willing to trade for CMCs heavy contract. DT -- we can add one in. Edge -- we've got room for a top end talent. LB-- can never go wrong there. OG/OT/C -- without a doubt. CB/S-- you bet. TE -- definitely. WR -- rookie contract WR may be our best/most economical way of replacing Samuel if he goes. QB -- yeah, you bet. 

Sit, wait, watch and be wise. And if someone comes in with a rich trade offer, take it.

      Another layer to that is Ive seen Seattle has been in the market for CB help this off-season.   Michael had a higher PFF grade than Horn who got 15 games this season. He wants to be here too, that's a huge bonus for any 5 win team that had awful pass rush.  The 7th rounder Michael Barrett didn't last long on Seattle, he was cut before the season I think and ended up on browns PS. He's already been on 5.......5 teams within one year.......

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.
