I would trade back 5-7 spots and take Mac Jones.  With the extra pick, take a CB and T later in the second.

If Jones is gone after the move back, take a T and then a CB in round 2.  With the extra pick and the third rounder, trade with a team like the Jets (if they take Wilson), Jax (if they are willing to trade Minshew), Detroit (Goff, because if 4 were gone, Detroit would have taken one, probably), etc.  If not, take Mond and keep Bridgewater for another year.

I am thinking out loud--we will trade up aggressively--Miami or Cincinnati.

If Lawrence, Wilson, Fields, and Trey are all taken in the top 7, then you all better get mentally prepared for Mac Jones to be our Q2.

 

i think Rhule likes him more than you all think.

There's just absolutely no way 5 QBs get taken in the first 8 picks.

There's Lawrence and Wilson then a big gap to the rest of the pack. You're gambling on Fields, Jones or Lance (and that's a massive first round gamble considering his experience - some evaluators even like Mond over Lance).

I just do not envision any scenario where the Panthers allow themselves to miss out on a QB.  Maybe it means we overpay, I don't know, but we are not going to sit back and watch teams take a QB ahead of us.

Miami could get a nice haul from us and still get a great WR or Pitts at 8.  QB at 3 is very likely and we are definitely in the mix

Slater's short arms will keep him out of the top ten picks imo. Slater might have to move to guard.

The top 8 picks will be offensive players, TD passers and TD scorers with the exception being the best OT, Penei Sewell, going somewhere in the top 10.

The draft has plenty of excellent CB available, so we could easily draft one in the second or third round. No chance are we drafting a CB at eight, there isn't one worth it compared to the WRs we'll have falling to us if 4 QBs go ahead of us.

If Sewell is gone, and 4 QBs went, then we'll either trade down or take a WR. I'm in favor of trading down if the 4 QBs are gone because that means next season is another lost season. Flush it. Get as many higher picks as possible and plan to draft a QB in next years draft.

No need to draft Mac Jones, the idea of him ever winning a SB is a joke. Trey Lance, aka Cannon Arm, is our best chance but if the big 4 are gone then it's a wrap.

The big 4 QBs going will certainly push a #1 quality WR right into our lap. If you stay put, then clearly you take the WR and go into next season with a top 3 WR corps. A top quality CB will be available at our second round pick. The top priority is scoring TDs, and a top WR trumps a top CB any day of the week. Expect a WR at #8, or a trade down if the QBs are gone.

My prediction with 4 QBs gone, and Sewell, Waddle, Smith gone, is that the Panthers select:

WR - Ja'Marr Chase.

Where would he fit in the offense with DJ Robby and CMC? Are you drafting a top 10 pick  WR to be  a 4th option???

I still stand with going oline . Last year we almost over committed to Dline early and I would love to see the same commitment this year to the oline early. Getting something like Slater in R1 and Eichenburg or Leatherwood in R2 would work wonders for rebuilding the Oline . Then you can go get your safety and CB in the mid rounds . Use some late rounders on Dline and skill position depth . Maybe throw in a flier on some QB with one of those . There you go . Solid solid draft. 

And if we're too good next year to draft a qb high once again ? Then you can splurg on a top FA qb ala Tom Brady situation and stick him into a roster that's already ready to rock .

Trevor, Field and Wilson are gone in the top 4 to 5 picks, either direct or by trade. I've said it before, I don't think Lance or Jones are worth a 8th pick or more I think the risk is too great for them. Trade down a few would be nice and get an extra 2nd or 3rd rd pick or take LT or CB. Both will cost us a lot in FA. If you trade down and Lance or Jones are still there, then maybe.

I don’t see us staying put if there is a run early. If we don’t we either take a top LT or trade down and pick up a project in a Newman, Mills, Mond later as back up/possible starter. This would also give us assets to trade up next year and get our guy if we aren’t satisfied.

A luxury pick in the top 10? Don’t get me wrong Chase is great, but that would leave Teddy trying to throw him the ball with no real LT to give him protection. Plus DJ, Anderson, Moore, and CMC are going to take away catches/opportunities for him.

      How long do you feel it takes for a head coach to turn a team around?

      Canales has his msjor issue not doing the obvious regarding running Dowdle but with an average QB we would be in the playoffs with an average QB.

      1. fug TikTak, I ain't clicking that stupid poo. 2. This is really very situationally dependent. Coaching is a huge part but sometimes you step into a scenario where a lot of building needs to happen that is largely out of your control. Recent examples(Last season's hiring cycle): 1. Ben Johnson Johnson chose the OVERWHELMINGLY best open coaching job due to a combination of solid ownership, a solid front office and the most talented roster of the open jobs from that cycle. Negatives were, insanely stacked division. Results have so far indicated that this coaching change has been a massive boost. 2. Mike Vrabel Vrabel went a different direction. He went to a franchise that has solid ownership, a mediocre front office and one of the worst rosters in the NFL. However, he has a track record of NFL head coaching success AND lucked into one of the easiest schedules in NFL history(I believe 3rd easiest). Even with that caveat, a clear indicator that coaching has been a huge boost. 3. Pete Carroll Carroll chose one of the NFL's most volatile franchises. Notoriously bad ownership, very bad front office and a terrible roster. But, Carroll is a HOF caliber NFL HC with success at every stop. At the moment, coaching has not been able to overcome the apparent obstacles. In fact, it's been a complete disaster to the extent that Carroll has already fired multiple coaches. One could certainly argue that pethaps Pete has lost his touch but regardless, this coaching change didn't result in a turnaround and Carroll's future there seems in doubt. 4. Aaron Glenn Glenn's first HC opportunity was a doozy. Near worst ownership, a mediocre front office(at best) and a talented core group of players on an underwhelming roster. This experiment has been quite the ride to date. Glenn's personnel decisions have seemingly led to multiple close game losses(2-5 in games decided by one score or less) and the FO decided to have a roster firesale prior to the trade deadline for a wealth of draft capital. The question will be if Glenn will be given the time to actually see this future draft capital realized, now that a significant chunk of the talented core is not longer there. Coaching has not made a difference but is the franchise now setting him up to fail further? 5. Liam Coen Coen picked a mixed bag. Terrible ownership, a remade front office he essentially had a hand in selecting(or at the miminum influenced) and a middling roster. The early results show promise even if the roster shows significant flaws(and Coen shows visible frustration with his "franchise" QB every Sunday). Could be close to turning a 4 win team into a playoff berth. Coaching has mattered. 6. Brian Schottenheimer This was resoundingly viewed as a bad hire but it's also under challenging circumstances. Bad ownership in the sense that the ownership is also the front office, a future Tepper dream I assume. Very talented but very flawed roster. The initial results have been...interesting. A Cowboys team that was a bad 7-10 after a previous streak of three 12 win seasons is now....mediocre? Couple that with wild roster changes prior to the start of the season and up to the trade deadline and it makes for an incomplete picture. It's not much progress but it doesn’t appear to be regressing either. TBD. 6. Kellen Moore Moore chose the most challenging of all openings. The Saints are in the midst of a simulateous roster teardown and attempted rebuild. Decent ownership, a mixed bag in the front office(great at evaluating draft talent, less so in free agency and in salary cap management). The Saints have been awful but, they were expected to be awful. To that note, they were net sellers before the trade deadline. It was reported that Moore secured an agreement that this is long term building effort prior to taking the position so his status seems safe even while the team flounders week to week. Difficult to grade this now as the entire scenario seems to be a long term strategy. TBD.
