If the top four QBs slip through our fingers and we didn’t trade up for one, it’s a fail anyway. Stay put, take a LT, prepare for a long fuging season as we try to do better at positioning ourselves for a QB in the draft next year. 

Ding. Ding. Ding.   We have a winner!

You choose the best LT available at 8 and finally solve a problem that has dogged this roster since Gross retired.  

See, that was easy.

Trade down: 

Acquire Vikings #14 - They move up to try and get Sewell. 
Panthers get #14, 78, 2022 2nd 

With #14 Panthers draft Kyle Pitts (who’s in a free fall bc of teams taking QBs, DBs, OL).

We use #78 and 2022 2nd from Minnesota to acquire Sam Darnold. 
 

Use #39 (our 2nd) to draft Trevon Moehrig. 
 

Come out of the first two rounds with Pitts, Darnold, and Moehrig. Completely remade O and completely remade D before day 2 (and FA) is even over...

 

If you’re saying Pitts is gone then Slater would be the target imo. But I think Pitts is being pushed up the board just like the QBs are. I think he’ll be there middle of the round. TEs are just not historically valuable as top 10 picks the way QB, OT, WR, EDGE have been..

With Joe Brady calling the plays having a 3rd string WR like chase would not be a bad thang .. 

Base O would be 3 WR, much like this past year. If 1 of the 3 is out, you still got 2. WR is one of the unique spots, you can play up to 5 or none. WR is the best group too, and by far Chase is the best one.

If we miss out on a QB I really don't care what we do with the pick. Take bpa, trade back, whatever. 

I doubt many teams will be looking to trade to 8 if all the qbs are gone. We can want to trade back all we want, but someone has to want to trade up. 

If 4 QBs are gone by 8, there will be extremely good value at 8 that many teams would covet obtaining. That being said,  there will also be great teir 1 level talent available to us at 8.  Trading down to obtain a teir 2 player and maybe a couple rotational guys doesnt appeal to me.  Stay at 8 and get the BPA in a position of need.

This is exactly it.  I'm sure there are situations that would have us wanting to trade back, but if the top 4 QB's are gone, who would want to trade with us and why?  Doesn't make sense.

You think teams only trade up to snag QBs? Would you trade up to get a top flight LT? How about a DE? Shutdown corner? Lots of teams will trade multiple assets if they think the player they need will be gone by the time they draft. It literally happens every year.

Lets say the 4 QBs are gone, also sewell, surtain, and chase. What player is someone giving us a haul to get to #8 to get? #5qb? #2wr? #2 cb? A offball linebacker? a TE?

I just don't see us accumulating many picks for one of those players. I don't want to trade back to 12-15 and only pick up a extra 2nd or 3rd in the process.

Just take whoever the best left is if we don't trade up and kick ourselves for ever entertaining the idea of signing Teddy.

We traded up for Little. And while Hurney may be a moron, there are other morons who make stupid decisions every year. Someone will trade up for whoever they want and are afraid someone is gonna snatch before they can get them. Again, it literally happens every year. Hell, it could be Mac Jones. It could be Slater. It could be Pitts. It could literally be anyone who is projected to go in the first round.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
