Good, they're in the position to be, as they have plenty of picks through continuous suckage and selling off good players. They're still a couple of years away from being perennial contenders, even if Saleh is the real deal. 

We're two drafts/FA seasons away, and then we'll be in great shape. If we take advantage of the panic buying at QB that everyone else is doing this offseason, we can sneak out of this draft with 4-5 starters. That would be HUGE. If we are able to make hay this offseason, we will be able to afford to trade everything away in 2022 for our QB, either through the draft, or FA. 

Word is that the Jets are lowering their asking price for Darnold.

11. Carolina looks like the odd team out, at least for now.

The Panthers have not run from the narrative that owner Daniel Tepper is determined to land a franchise quarterback by almost any means necessary. Their prospects dimmed some with the 49ers leapfrogging them. It’s still early, and the Panthers still could climb from their current No. 8 slot in the order. It just remains less how they’ll proceed.

We screwed up by not making a move already. The Watson chase was stupid and now we are going to have to give up that much for a player who has never taken a snap in the league. Looks like we stay at 8 and draft Mac Jones. And pray he's the next tom brady.

We have to at this point if Tepper wants to prove that he is all about winning. I’m tired of the big talk but no walk. 

You know making this trade requires the Jets WANTING to give up that pick right?

What do you want Tepper to do? Give up 5 years worth of 1st round picks? Waive a magic wand?

Seriously, think before you post.

How would a rebuilding team trading away tons if future assets for an unproven rookie show he’s about winning? That’s a stupid move. All that would prove is he is desperate and will make poor judgement calls. Selling the farm for an unproven rookie one year into a rebuild would be incredibly stupid.

How many of you guys have serious gambling debts?

Stop throwing good money after bad in this desire for a QB. 

The 49ers have set the market - it's ridiculous. We're in no position to mortgage our future for one player. 

Sit tight at #8 and see what happens on April 30. Be very open to trading back.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      TAMU had such a weird draft. Usually you'd be bragging your ass off about three DL drafted in the top two rounds except that the narrative around all three was about how badly they were misused by TAMU. LOL

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By Icege · Posted

      Many Panthers fans are already excited about second-round selection Nic Scourton for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: the Panthers needed to recharge the position group, Scourton had a late first-round grade according to many (including the Panthers), and he fit this season's modus operandi of stopping the run now and forever. However, Scourton was seen early on as one of the top-3 EDGE guys in this class but fell due to not having quite the season at Texas A&M as he did prior at Purdue (his sophomore season). It's been revealed since then a few different things that speak to that dip in production... Texas A&M, for one, requires each player on their line to be able to hold two gaps. This also explains why we saw low production across the board from the other two TA&M prospects but were still being heavily touted. Scourton was also said to have bulked up to 280lbs in order to fulfill this role and noticeably suffered from it. He's expected to play this season with Carolina at 255 - 260 which is very different from most situations. In most situations, teams are wanting players to gain 15 - 30. Since Scourton is going to be playing at his Purdue weight, I thought it would make sense to dive more into that tape. Y'all... we might have gotten something special... Let's take a quick peek at the stats before we start drooling over some highlights. First, a summary of the last two seasons for Scourton: Second, the game splits: The first thing that pops up for me is how Scourton's sack numbers were cut in half his senior year. We've already pointed out issues with scheme that impacted the TA&M linemen from racking up numbers, but seeing the game splits it's clear that Scourton didn't exactly feast on inferior competition while at Purdue. He had two two-sack games (vs. Michigan (2023 - 2024 champs), Indiana) and a 10-tackle game (vs. Nebraska). I also see the 2024 games where he went up against two top-10 tackles (Will Campbell from LSU + Armand Membou from Missouri) that I watched leading up to the draft.  For those who just want a summary: Scourton looked elite at Purdue and is going to be rotating in often during his rookie campaign. I originally had him penciled in as the second-string, strong-side edge defender behind Clowney but I wouldn't be surprised to see the team have him and Pat Jones II moving around when they rotate in in order to find where Nic looks best. Here's a highlight reel to replace that Cialias you lost in your recliner tonight:   For those that want a little more: Below I'll be linking the linking the five games I've mentioned above. If you plan to watch all of them, I highly recommend going in the order listed as that will allow you to see him vs. Campbell and then Membou while dealing with the aforementioned things he dealt with at Texas A&M before seeing him look unstoppable in 2023 when he was allowed to play both at a comfortable weight and in a scheme that didn't require him two cover two gaps nearly every play. vs. Will Campbell (2024) vs. Armand Membou (2024) vs. Nebraska (2023) vs. Michigan (2023)   vs. Indiana (2023)

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

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yea, i honestly think he had almost as much say as Dan.  One of the main reasons I think that is Eager has said before he was ever with the Panthers, that you trade away picks for a qb and for any other position you do pick swaps, and that's exactly what we did.
