How do we assemble an offensive line to keep him vertical? Our mediocre line from last season has one returning starter from last season..... Paradis let that sink in. 

To land Watson (who comes with a whopper cap hit) 

Realistically your looking at 

2021 #8

2022 1st

2023 First 

and or Brian Burns/Jeremy Chinn.

 

That will mean even more holes on defense and very limited resources to fill them... 

I would do it IF we can solve the oline problem....To win even 5-8 games we will need to win shootouts.....

Any ideas? Possibilities? Risk/Reward assesments?

Love how the same posters show up in every Watson thread and complain how it's another Watson thread.  If you don't like it move on, how does it really affect your every day life that someone posted a Watson thread? Fact is, there is a possibility of getting Watson, which is the biggest news for the Panthers atm.  Whether you want or think it will happen is irrelevant, the question was a hypothetical question so it doesn't need comments about how it's not going to happen.

 

To answer the question, Watsons Cap hit isn't that large this year or next.  We basically have 2 years to get a more favorable contract. This combined with letting go of certain players, gives us the salary cap needed to fix the O line by signing Moton, finding a gem or 2 in free agency, and through the draft.  

Like others have said, I doubt we trade Burns or Chinn. But, hypothetically if we did, it would be easier to live without Chinn.

Exactly why I don’t want this guy. This team isn’t a qb away. We saw how the team failed to support cam and how frustrating that was, so now the plan is to get back in that situation, with a much worse D to boot? Draft Wilson/ lance/ fields and hope they pan out. If the do, we are very, very well positioned to compete in 2022. If we land Watson and forfeit the picks and $ it takes to land him, we will have to get insanely lucky in the later rounds of the draft. If your plan is for fitterrer to find his next Sherman in the 5th I’d argue that’s unlikely. Oh, also, what’s stopping Watson from disliking tepper and demanding a trade from us?

We are a qb and an MLB away.

The price isn’t going to be three firsts AND a young, cheap superstar. 
 

The deal I could see happening is: 

McCaffery, TB, #8, 2022 1st, 2022 2nd. 
 

If that is the deal it honestly isn’t that bad. You trade CMC which hurts but his cap is significant for his position. 
 

That nets the Texans a transitional QB, an MVP candidate and multiple 1st round picks. 

It nets us...a top 5 QB and probably MORE cap flexibility than what we would have if we kept those two guys.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
