Big Board at #8?

Recommended Posts

What's your big board looking like at #8 with the recent moves and news that the first 3 picks will be Lawrence, Wilson, and Jones?

Do you have Fields and Lance at the top? Sewell or Slater ahead of either? Maybe secondary help in the form of Farley or Surtain II? What about grabbing a shiny new weapon in Pitts or a Bama WR?

If we end up going CB, give me JayCee Horn...I don’t know why he somehow defaulted to 3rd best CB...he’s gunna be a force for a longgggg time

Horrendous. Horn is a mediocre athlete that belongs in the second or third round, not the first, and certainly not a top 10 pick. That would be an F- pick for the Panthers.

 

As for the big board top 8, penciling in the top 3:

 

1. Lawrence 

2. Wilson 

3. Jones

 

------

4. Fields

5. Sewell

6. Slater

7. Pitts

8. Chase

 

Parsons would be next man up.

Because he's not a good QB and is at least a year away. Wasting the cheap years of a rookie QB with a shitty veteran in front of him is stupid, particularly for a team like Carolina that is going to need more than a game manager to be successful next year.

If no quarterback I would be fine with trading down but more picks don't always guarantee anything looking at the Seahawks drafts.

Staying at 8 based on who we believe will be available Fields/Lance 1a/1b followed by Pitts/Chase and the top OT available. I may find myself in the minority but taking a tackle top 10 is my least favorite scenario in this draft. Multiple reasons for that but this could be the last top 10 pick we see for a bit if we are content at just being mediocre enough to stay middle of the pack and I would rather add more passing weapons to the offense if we can't get a fresh signal caller.

Horn worries me.  As bad as the Gamecocks were and all the places opponents could attack them....teams didn’t seem to try to avoid Horn.

Horn is a super great athlete. 

don’t know if he is a great corner.   Opponents didn’t seem that worried about him IMO the little I watched him.

Wrong. I think he'll struggle with NFL-level WRs because his best attribute is being grabby/disrupting WRs at the LOS. His make-up speed is not special, which is concerning for a guy you are going to have to deploy a lot in press man coverage.

    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
    • Theilen is about to retire. I dont care about him sticking around. Lets say you did and he retires at the end of the year. Now that connection is gone next year and it's just another excuse for regression that was just held off. 
    • Short term is the key point. Those first two games without him where pretty bad. They still aren't back to where they were offensively but they are getting better. Hopefully Tet continues to improve and Coker eventually returns - and stays healthy.
