If it’s not a QB who do you want in the draft

[MGH1989]

Suppose the Panthers don’t trade for one or draft one. Who do you want? I think there are three clear candidates.

 

1. Micah Parsons - need a playmaker in the middle of the defense

 

2. Devonta Smith - we will probably lose Curtis and he is a stud.

 

3. Kyle Pitts - freak TE that we need to really open up this offense (besides the obvious of a QB)

[BurnNChinn]

Damn if they don’t trade or draft I will be watching no Panthers next year. I will definitely say this owner has no idea what he is doing.

Left tackle.

There isn’t any other answer.

There could be as many as 5 left tackles taken in the top 20

[Mr. Scot]

Someone we have no chance of getting...

[Ricky Spanish]

Kyle Pitts/Micah Parsons round 1

[La Pantera]

Patrick Surtain. A true shutdown corner

[Khyber53]

Sewell if he suddenly, unexpectedly falls. Parsons might well be there and I'd be happy with that. Pitts could see immediate usage. 

I still think if we can get one of those three in the first round and Mac Jones in the second, we'll have hit gold.

Pick 8:

1 - Penei Sewell (miracle)

Pick 10-14 after trade down:

2 - Rashawn Slater

3 - Patrick Surtain jr.

Pick 15-20 after trade down:

4 - Christian Darrisaw

5 - Jaycee Horn

6 - Christian Barmore

7 - Owusu- Koromoah

Tackle or Corner I’ll be pissed if we take a lb in the top ten . Trade back n take one cool, but top ten i always say no to lbs and te’s 

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

Sewell, but furthest he drops is the Bungles

[davos]

I'm going to skip Sewell bc that is expected to be mentioned in here more than a handful. Rashawn Slater & Jalen Mayfield are the OTs to talk about.

Also--cue the linebacker jokes but Parsons is an elite talent and we'd be very lucky to land him if no QB.

But my biggest thing--I don't think it's a pressing need but both Chase & Devonta Smith are special talents.  They have the Jefferson, Beckham type feel to them with the aggressiveness towards the ball they have.  It's like the ball becomes magnetized midair to their spots on the field and it doesn't matter what the defender is doing.  They have such a good combination of route running, awareness and quickness.

Trade as far down in the 1st as we can

[JawnyBlaze]

OL or CB. Absolutely nothing else. We sure af don’t need another first round non-pass rushing LB or offensive skill position even if we lose Curtis. But the only real answer is QB. I can’t watch more than another couple games of Bridgewater. 

[onmyown]

We already have a lot of money going to LB...unfortunately. I would not throw another top 10 pick there.

Also went all defense last year...

The best option is to trade down.

Most important position is oline.

DBs can be had later on but I wouldn’t mind one.

Wouldn't mind trading way down and getting Pitts.

If we have to go defense I’s much rather take a top DE than Parsons.
